Beauty Treatments You Can Totally Do Yourself At Home

While we rather leave things in the hands of our hairstylists, manicurists and aestheticians, we can't help but do a shimmy in the mirror when we get gorgeous all by ourselves.

Mani-Pedi.

This combo can cost up to $50 at the nail salon (especially if you are walking around on cracked, calloused feet that require a bit more work). So why not dust off those bottles of nail polish
on your dresser and treat yourself to an at-home manicure and pedicure? Sunday night television is so much better when painting your nails.

Upper lip wax.

There's nothing quite embarrassing as leaving the salon with a slightly lighter upper lip and running into an ex-boyfriend who won't stop staring. Skip this walk of shame by breaking the seal on a lip waxing or cream hair removal kit in the privacy of your bathroom.

Trim your own bangs.

Call us crazy, but we don't understand why getting bangs cost just as much as getting highlights. I mean are the hairstylist's scissors made of 24-karat gold? We rather press play on this video and snip away ... with caution.

Facial.

These days, everybody and their mamas own a Clarisonic brush. Get more out of the skincare tool by creating your own facial treatment that includes gentle cleansing, steaming, deep-pore scrubbing and moisturizing.

Body scrub.

We've preached the beauty benefits of exfoliation. Show your skin some love by whipping up a DIY scrub made out of olive oil and brown sugar.

Teeth whitening.

You'd be surprised what a little baking soda and peroxide can do for a wine-stained smile. Get back to basics with a DIY teeth whitening solution and watch those pearly whites come through.

Hot oil hair treatment.

Breathe life back into lackluster locks with a homemade hot oil hair treatment. Simply pour it on, top it off with a plastic cap and sit for about 15 minutes. Wash out with warm water, then follow with a cool rinse to lock in moisture.

Brow tweezing.

This simple grooming treatment can make a major difference in your appearance. Plucking a few straggly hairs around your arch is better than waxing or threading away too much hair and ending up with the "surprise face."

Neon hair color.

It's okay if you want to dye your hair rainbow-bright like Katy Perry but aren't quite ready to show it off to the world. Break out the Manic Panic at home with your BFF because you'll know she'll tell it like it is.
