Hey Beauties today is Cinco de Mayo and while you may be busy planning your celebration with margaritas and tacos, have you ever thought about incorporating these festive ingredients into your skincare routine? That's right, you can use some of the most popular ingredients used in Cinco de Mayo celebrations to create DIY skincare recipes that will leave your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated!
First up, avocados! Not only are they delicious in guacamole, but they're also a great ingredient for a DIY face mask. Mash up half of an avocado, mix in a tablespoon of honey and a teaspoon of coconut oil, and apply to your face for a hydrating and nourishing treat.
Next on the list is lime, which is not only a key ingredient in margaritas but also a great addition to your skincare routine. Mix together equal parts lime juice and sugar to create a natural exfoliating scrub that will leave your skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
And let's not forget about the power of chili peppers! Capsaicin, the compound responsible for the heat in chili peppers, can help stimulate blood flow and promote collagen production. Mix together a teaspoon of chili powder with a tablespoon of honey for a brightening and firming face mask.
Last but not least, we can't forget about tequila! While drinking it in excess may not be great for your skin, using it topically can actually have some benefits. Tequila is a natural astringent and can help tighten pores. Mix together a tablespoon of tequila with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of witch hazel for a toning and clarifying facial toner.
So, this Cinco de Mayo, why not spice up your skincare routine with these festive ingredients? Your skin will thank you for it.
