DIY SPF Moisturizer


Sun block is very important for your skin. It protects your skin from ultra violet rays (UV rays) which is harmful.  I started using with SPF moisturizer a few years ago and then one day i thought  that sun block does the same so why not buy that. So i buy one but thing that I don’t like about it is the white layer that it forms on application and it doesn’t look nice. I didn't want my money to go to waste so i turned it into an SPF moisturizer. 
You’ll need:
Sun block (i suggest SPF 60 )
Moisturizer
Aloe Vera gel
The ratio between the quantity of sunscreen, moisturizer and Aloe Vera gel should be 2:2:1 .So if you’re using teaspoon than the quantity of sunblock and moisturizer would be 2 teaspoons each and 1 teaspoon of Aloe Vera gel.


The reason why I add Aloe Vera gel is that it absorbs excess oil on your skin making it shine free. Now mix them together in a container and your SPF moisturizer is ready to apply.

DIY Face Primer and Everyday Wear Foundation


Face primers are used to prepare the skin for makeup. It is used before applying foundation. It Smooths out the skin and makes the makeup stay for hours. The job that a face primer does can be done by products that we already have in our homes. That’s right!
You’ll need:
Moisturizer
Aloe Vera gel
Liquid foundation













Aloe Vera gel is the major ingredient of this recipe because it absorbs oil. Take 2 parts of Aloe Vera gel and 1 part of moisturizer in a container. The quantity of foundation is not fixed but you must add at least 5 drops of foundation. Mix well and your face primer is ready to apply.














For everyday wear foundation, just double up the quantity of foundation. This will give you a light weight foundation that you can wear everyday.
