40 Easy Beauty Treatments You Can Do at High Quality When You’re Bored

These days we’re spending more time at home than ever, which means we also have more time than ever to indulge yourself with some at-home beauty treatments.

A few months ago, we hardly had enough time to do a sheet mask once a week, but now that we’re stuck at home, we have more time than ever to focus on ourselves, which can be a very good thing!

Amid social distancing and a heightened need for self-care, now is a good time to consider trying out new beauty treatments or even some familiar ones for a little extra pampering

From brightening your complexion to fighting frizz and conditioning your cuticles, has your whole got whole body covered. Here are 40 at-home beauty treatments to pamper your self and help you look and feel your best even if you’re just stuck at home.

At-High Quality Beauty Ideas to Try Right Now

At-home beauty treatments for your face

1. Take it easy with a sheet face mask

Sheet face masks are probably the easiest at-home beauty treatment to show your skin little love with minimal effort.

I love sheet masks with brightening ingredients like Vitamin C, or hydrating ones with Hyalauronic Acid leave skin soft and plump.

2. Make a cling wrap mask

Okay, time to level up! Let’s take your sheet mask and make it a cling wrap mask. It’s a Japanese technique that utilizes cling wrap on top of your sheet mask or a cotton fabric mask to maximize its benefits.

The idea is to soak a thin cotton face mask in water and serum (or just use a sheet mask), then apply it to your skin, followed by cling film all around your head. (Leaving open areas around your nose and mouth to breath of course! )

The heat created encourages pores to open, so the active ingredients will be absorbed deeper into the skin, boosting collagen resulting in smoother and rejuvenated skin.

3. Do a peel-0ff mask

Not ready to wrap your face in cling wrap? Well a good peel off mask is just as satisfying.

A good peel off mask gently removes a thin layer of all the dead skin cells and surface dirt from the pores, which leaves skin feeling smooth.

4. Say bye-bye to blackheads a Biore pore strip

There is something just bizarrely satisfying about using Biore pore strips.

This popular at-home beauty treatment helps to removes unwanted build up and blackheads by literally yanking them out of your skin. And inspecting the strip afterward, well that’s just entertainment itself.

5 . Treat those tired eyes with an eye mask

With all those late nights of watching Netflix, a good eye mask can help treat signs of fatigue and aging, as well as brighten the whole eye area. Here are a few of my favoruites below.

6. Get your skin to glow with a skin peel

If you want your skin to glow, exfoliation can help banish a lack luster completion.

Skin peels are a great at-home beauty treatment to help your brighten and exfoliate skin. Ingredients like glycolic or salicylic acids, which are typically found in peels and pads, are known to smooth and really bring out a glow in the skin. 

7. Keep those brows in shape

Tweezing and shaping your brows not only defines your eyes, but also frames the entire face. So it’s nice to keep your brows maintained even if you’re not going out a whole lot.

8. Use a brow tint kit to tint your brows

Tinting your eyebrows is a simple grooming treatment can make a major difference in your appearance plus it lasts for a few weeks so you can wake up looking good which is always a bonus!

9. Add dermarolling to your beauty routine

Using a dermroller was probably the best at-home beauty treatment that happened to my skincare routine.

Dermarolling is an at home beauty treatment that uses a mini wheel covered with tiny needles to gently prick the face.

With regular use it’s very effective for clearing acne scars, fading fine lines, and evening out skin tone and texture while helping your skincare perform better by penetrating deeper.

It’s one of my personal favourite skincare tools and you if you’re curious, this post on Best Beauty Tools I Can’t Lve Without goes into more detail on how to use it and its benefits.

10. Try Dermaplaning

Not to be confused with the dermarolling, dermaplaning is an exfoliating process that will leave your skin softer and brighter. 

Dermaplaning is an exfoliating treatment that removes peach fuzz and dead skin with the tiny scrape of a scalpel.

11. Sculpt your face with a Gua Sha

Gua Sha is practice of traditional Chinese medicine that has recently become a fun insta-popular facial care technique.

It utilizes a smooth tool usually made of jade or rose quartz to massage the skin and increase blood flow and decrease inflammation.

We can hold lot of tension in our face, and it’s also where we can retain extra fluid, puff, or shadows. Both gua sha and jade rollers (below) help to soothe your skin, roll out the kinks, boost lymphatic drainage, and calm your soul.

In addition to helping your complexion look significantly more radiant, you can feel better and more relaxed. If you’re interested in reading more about this, check out Ella Pretty Blog’s post on facial rollers!

12. Stimulate skin with jade rolling

Jade rollers are another at-home beauty treatment that helps to stimulate blood flow in your face.

Jade rolling is an at-home beauty treatment that utilizes a paint roller–type tool for the face made from solid jade stone. There are also rose quartz versions as well!

Much like the Gua Sha, it’s massages and soothes the skin. It’s a more gentle approach if you have more sensitive skin. It helps to decrease puffiness, under-eye circles, and even minimize the look of fine lines.

To use, apply gentle pressure while rolling the tool from the centre of your face in upward and outward motions.

13 . Upper lip wax

Though facial hair is normal for both men and women. It’s nice to look groomed even it you’re just at home. This can easily be done with an at home wax/sugaring kit.

14. Get kissable lips a DIY Lip Scrub

Lips often get forgotten when it comes to skincare, even though they’re just as exposed and get put through even more with all the eating and drinking we do.

Give them a little TLC by combining sugar and coconut oil for an at-home lip exfoliating treatment.

15. Whiten your teeth

Everyone loves a beautiful bright smile, but we all love coffee (and red wine) as well right?

Well lucky for us there are plenty of at home teeth whitening kits that make it easier to maintain that beautiful bright smile.

At home beauty treatments for your hair

16. Give yourself a scalp massage

It’s no secret that the ticket to healthy hair starts with the scalp.

When your scalp is laden with lingering dead skin cells and product buildup, it makes it much harder for your hair to grow and thrive properly. 

Scalp massagers are handheld, brush-like devices that work to both stimulate and exfoliate the scalp.

Using the tool for about five minutes a day on wet or dry hair. I like to use mine in the shower when I wash my hair with shampoo to give my hair a deep clean.

17. Give yourself a scalp treatment

Now that you’re massaging your scalp, you might want to add a scalp treatment in as well!

Scalp treatments are like a deep condition mask you do for your hair, but for your scalp. It’s a nice thing to do every now and to care for where you hair actually grows from.

Best of all most scalp treatments are applied in the shower so they’re not bothersome to your day at all.

18. Perfect your blow out technique

Getting the perfect blowout is a real art. It’s done using a hair drying and round brush to create smooth and sleek look, style with no no curling or flat iron involved.

These days I can curl my hair and be out the door in 8 minutes or less. But it wasn’t always that way.
