We’ve compiled four of our favorite DIY skincare and beauty treatments that are cheap, easy and effective. So grab your girls for a spontaneous girl’s night and give these a try!

Green Tea Face Scrub
We have posted this video before, but we can't get enough of this scrub. Give it a try!
Our previous blog on the DIY Oatmeal Honey Face Mask got such great feedback from our readers, that we want to continue to share with you fun skin care routines you can do at home in between facials at Silk Touch.
We searched the web, asked our friends and clients for the best DIY skin care treatments and we are happy to share with you the two winners – Green Tea Facial Scrub and At-Home Pore Strips! Even better – we were able to find Youtube tutorials for each of them, that way you can learn to make them even easier!
Green Tea Facial Scrub
DIY Pore Strips
While these are great “in-between” treatments, theycould never replace the benefits you see by getting a professional facial or chemical peel.
