PAMPER YOURSELF WITH DIY Skincare

1 Smoothing Honey Lip Scrub

Exfoliating scrubs aren't just for the body: Stir together this simple lip buffer from Gina Marí, an aesthetician in Los Angeles, to silken lips.

1 tsp coconut oil

1 tsp honey

2 Tbsp raw sugar

Dash of lemon juice

Mix the ingredients together in a small bowl. Using a new toothbrush, apply the scrub in a gentle circular motion. Rinse off and follow up with lip balm.

2 Clarifying Tea Face Toner

Cook up an anti-inflammatory white-tea toner courtesy of Jennifer Yen, creator of Yensa and Purlisse Beauty, to purify and calm skin.

1 tsp peppermint tea leaves

4 tsp white tea leaves

1/2 cup distilled water, boiled

2 drops lavender oil

Aloe vera gel

Combine all the ingredients except aloe vera gel in a French press. Let steep 10 minutes; pour into a glass container to cool. Pour the mixture into a 4-oz spray bottle; add enough aloe to fill. Refrigerate, then spritz on face.

3 Brightening Oatmeal Face Scrub

This rich, creamy face scrub is ideal for a dull and tired complexion, as it softens, calms redness and gives skin a brightening boost, says Joanna Vargas, a celebrity facialist and founder of Joanna Vargas Salons and Skin Care.

1/4 cup honey

1/2 Tbsp brown sugar

1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal

Mix the ingredients together in a bowl until they reach a thick yet grainy consistency. Buff onto clean face, then rinse.

4 Anti-Aging Papaya Mask
