Here is a list I put together with minimal skincare that is way cheaper then buying products at the drug store.. and is a lot better for you and the environment. I believe that the less you do with your skin the better it is! Please share what diy natural skincare you use at home that you've found to be really effective.
Deodorant- Baking soda (put a pinch under your armpits)- some people react to it but my partner and I have never had problems
Coconut oil- some people find just putting coconut oil under your armpits works well
Melt one part corn starch, one part baking soda and two parts coconut oil in a jar and apply as needed. Add essential oils of choice but you really don't need any.
Lubricant- Coconut oil (but don't combine with condoms)
Tooth Paste- use clay mixed with essential oils, brush with a pinch of baking soda (though some people are skeptical that this may wear the enamel)
Moisturizer- Coconut oil.
Eye cream- coconut oil mixed with a couple drops of chamomile and lavender essential oil
Face Wash, Exfoliation and Moisturizing- wash your face with coconut oil or jojoba oil (jojoba oil is expensive but it's my favorite to use on my skin) on a facecloth.
Toner- Rose or Lavender Hydrosol (hydrosols are the same acidy as your skin. Municiple tap water is usually too alkaline and can accelerate aging. Spritzing with toner after washing your face can help you reset the acidity of your skin). You can purchase hydrosols here-

Exfoliate- Exfoliate with oatmeal powder or a pinch of baking soda
Face masks- make a mask with water and bentonite clay or raw honey,
Black and white head removal strips- heat up 1 tbsp milk and 1 tbsp gelatin. Apply to nose and forehead. Wait to dry and peel off of your skin. Steam your face or wash with a warm towel to open your pores first. I've also heard egg white and lemon work well.
Mouth Wash- Brine of seasalt (with a couple drops of essential oils). Also oil pulling does wonders for preventing cavities, refreshing the breath and reducing gum bleeding)
Lip balm- coconut oil or cacao butter. Make lip balm by mixing beeswax with coconut oil.
Soap- you can get a cheap bar of natural soap from most stores or if you want liquid soap buy a liter of dr bronner's castile soap. It will last you a long time. Using too much soap dries out your skin. You really just need to use it on your private parts and under your armpits.
Shaving Cream for women- I just use castile soap or natural shampoo and it works fine.
Body Scrup- 1 part coconut oil mix with 1 part sugar or seasalt.
Also if you dry bush your skin you exfoliate it which reduces your need to moisturize. Dry brushing also increase circulation so even though you don't dry brush your face it makes your complexion better.
Shampoo- i buy my own shampoo. I haven't found any diy shampoo recipes compare to the natural one I use from Doterra.
