DIY Beauty is a wonderful thing to be able to do with your tween girl. It’s a great bonding experience. There’s something very cool about being able to enjoy your home with a little pampering.

Here are some of my FAVE DIY Beauty tricks and tips for you that I was taught by my grandmother:

Do you want to get rid of those yucky pimples?
My grandmother taught my mom this and my mom taught me this: Take toothpaste and dab on overnight. Easy fix!

Do you want to get rid of those puffy, swollen eyes (hello moms!)?
I still do this on mornings when I have early meetings and I’ve been up all night with the boys. If you have some extra time in the morning to spare, grab some cucumber slices and place them on your eyes. Let them really set in and allow your eyes to be pampered. I usually sit for about 15-20 minutes.

Do you want EXTRA soft skin on your face?
My grandmother uses Vaseline on her face (petroleum jelly). You can also lather on your feet and pop some socks on overnight. When you wake up, your face and your feet will be soft as can be. My husband’s grandmother used to do this, too.

Do you have very rough skin on your elbows and knees?
My grandmother taught me to cut a lemon or an orange in half and literally squeeze on my elbows and knees. Very easy to do and fun — not to mention, it smells fabulous.
