These 5 DIY beauty products are simple to make, and I love adding them to my favorite Grove Collaborative glass spray bottle. You can learn more about it at the end of this post!

  • Facial Toner - Combine ½ cup raw, unfiltered apple cider with ½ cup water (you can add essential oils or brewed herbal tea too!) and gently spray onto your skin.
  • Insect Repellent Spray- Mix 1 ½ cups ofwitch hazel, 2 tbs olive oil, 100 drops of essential oils like lemon, cedarwood, lavender or rosemary recommended). Shake well and apply.
  • Hair Detangler Spray - Bring 2 cups of water to a simmer and mix with ½ cup of creme conditioner. Pour in spray bottle and apply to ends of hair. You can rinse it out or leave it in as a leave in conditioner.
  • Skin Moisturizer - In a spray bottle, mix 1 ½ cup of warm water, 2 tbsp liquid coconut oil and 10 drops of lavender essential oils. Spritz on face and neck before bed. Items will separate, so shake well before each use.
  • Deoderant Spray-Fill your spray bottle with 1 cup of witch hazel. Add 20 drops each of Frankincense, Lavender and Lemon essential oils. Spray under arms and in any area that you feel may need a little deodorizing boost!

My favorite is the Insect Repellent Spray for sure because I really do not like the chemical smell and greasy feel that most store bought bug sprays have. I love that these items can be made pretty inexpensively with household items and that they don't contain tons of ingredients that I can't even pronounce!

As you know, I share tons of DIY Cleaning Recipes. I often get asked what products I would buy if I didn't make my own, and I totally get that! I don't always have time or want to make my own, so when I don't, I buy Mrs. Meyer's brand cleaning products. Right now Grove Collaborative is having an amazing deal, and this is the last day you can score it...

  1. I'm interested in the insect repellent. My question is, do you add water to this mixture? The recipe does not seem like it makes enough.

    Reply

    • It says in the recipe to fill the bottle 3/4 way with water then add the witch hazel and peppermint oil.

      Reply

      • Lemon Eucalyptus oil has been proven to be as effective, if not more, than insect repellent that contains DEET, per CDC (not recommended for use on children under 3). THE FDA warns to use ONLY PRODUCTS THAT LIST EPA-registered ingredients.

  2. Is there a reason for the glass container vs plastic?

    Reply

    • Hi, Duane! Some essential oils break down the plastic bottles and sort of melt them. They work much better in glass bottles. Hope this helps!
