Summer is here, and with it comes the chance to slow down, soak up the sun, and make the most of every warm day. Whether you’re lounging on the beach, exploring the great outdoors, or embarking on a well-deserved vacation, there’s no better time to feel confident in your own skin. After all, who doesn’t want to look and feel their best while enjoying all that summer has to offer? Dive into our DIY Beauty for Summer guide and discover simple, natural ways to glow all season long.
HEATLESS BATHROBE CURLS:
You may have heard of this. Or you may not of. All in all, this has been a trend on social media for about the last year or so. Give or take. The amazing results you get from this method have helped in its popularity. As well, this method is very economical, creates less damage to your hair as well as helps you save time in getting ready in the morning. Now who doesn’t love that?
Check out the steps below:
- Make sure your hair is slightly damp (either from washing or giving it light spritz with water)
- Position your bathrobe belt on top of your head with equal lengths on each side
- Divide your hair in half down the middle and then start wrapping sections of hair around the tie
- Grabbing more hair as you move along
- Secure the hair to the belt with an elastic or tie
- Allow the curls to set by sleeping with the curls overnight
- In the morning run your fingers through your hair to break apart the sections and create a natural look
BANANA PEEL:
Before you toss that banana peel, give it a second thought. These humble peels are packed with nutrients and phytonutrients that work wonders for your skin, helping to soothe and heal a variety of skin conditions. As part of our DIY Beauty for Summer series, here’s how banana peels can be your secret weapon for a natural glow-up!
- Brightens and calms skin irritation
- Can smooth fine lines
- Rich source of fatty acids to treat issues like psoriasis and eczema
- Can make skin rich and supple
- Helps reduce wrinkles, puffiness, dryness, and breakouts
METHOD TO USE IT:
Wash face and pat to dry. Take a banana peel and start massaging it onto your skin with the inside of the peel. Continue until the peel turns brown. Also wait ten minutes or so. Wash off the banana peel. Continue this every time you make a smoothie, and you will not only be feeding your body from the inside. As well as glowing up with your DIY Beauty regime for the summer months.
HOMEMADE LEMONADE:
As temperatures climb and we savor the warmth of long summer days and evenings, nothing beats a tall, cold glass of fresh homemade lemonade. Making it yourself is a win on several fronts: you know exactly what goes into it, it’s quick and easy to whip up in a blender, and it’s far more budget-friendly than buying store-bought versions. Whether you’re staying in for a lazy day or heading out on an adventure, fill a pitcher and enjoy it at home or on the go. Plus, lemons are a nutritional powerhouse, packed with health benefits that make this simple drink even better for you.
Such as:
- Effective at fighting indigestion and constipation

NAIL POLISH DRYING HACK:
How to dry nail polish faster? Now I wish we all knew this sooner rather than later. At any rate, there is nothing more frustrating than taking the time to pamper yourself. With a manicure, and no sooner do you think your nails are dry when you get a smudge. NOT NO MORE! With this hack your nails will be dry in seconds. Check out this article and video from Elle Australia explaining how to do this hack and the science behind it.
FOAM ROLL TO REDUCE CELLULITE:
It’s been shown that foam rolling is a proven way to loosen muscles, speed recovery, and prevent injuries. Which all sounds amazing! But I am guessing you probably have never thought about your lymphatic system. The lymph is directly connected to the fascia, which lies just beneath the skin.
Altogether, this network of connective tissue surrounds and stabilizes all muscles, organs, joints, and bones. Playing an important part in the internal health of our body. Furthermore, with everyday stressors and inflammation, the body can experience stagnation of the lymphatic system. Foam rolling oxygenates the blood, which hydrates your fascia and helps create movement and flush out the buildup.
Check out the video below to show you how to foam roll parts of your body.
