What's Your DIY Beauty Secret?

Take it from someone who has been on prescription acne medicine for a decade-laboratory science is a girl's best friend. Still, there's something appealing about DIY beauty remedies, too. Whether it's because we love the idea that nature has provided for us in some way (sea salt for exfoliating!) or simply that we have the ingredients already in the kitchen (to think, I almost threw out that cold tea bag!)-we're always eager to try made-at-home treatments.

In our February issue, Emily Blunt revealed that she's soaked her face in olive oil in the name of soft skin. (Oil and our acne-prone skin do not mix.)


Do you swear by any DIY treatments? Is there one you've always been curious about but haven't had the guts (or the potato chunks) to try?
