Before 2020, most people used at-home beauty treatments to save more money instead of increasing their expenses at salons and spas. But now, many others use this option as a means to distract themselves while staying at home. Since the lockdown, there has been a surge in DIY beauty remedies, as high up as 44% between February and March. If you are new to home beauty treatments, what exactly can you do and how do you make it safe? Well, it might take a lot of practice and research. With time, you would fully master a DIY pedicure’s art or create a lip scrub from scratch. That said, here are a few at-home beauty treatments to try in the safety of your homes:
Foot Peel
Foot peels require minimum effort, and they are fantastic especially if you find giving yourself home pedicures tedious. If you want soft feet, all you need to do is place them in a big bag for a couple of minutes. Once you slide your feet into the bag, an exfoliating blend of scrub and acid begins to work on your dry, dead skin. Most foot peels also contain vitamin E, which works excellently at softening your skin. Depending on how you look at it, the end effects of using this product can either be satisfying or gross to you. You should expect to find skin sheddings from your feet a few days after using a foot peel. But it is worth it because the results from using this peel can last for months.
Spray Tan
Self-tanning can be too time-consuming, and if care is not taken, you run the risk of looking like a carrot! It also requires many touch-ups, which can get exhausting especially if you are not stepping out much. But, if you prefer to have a tanned glow at all times, then go for it by all means. Perhaps you are used to getting your tanning professionally done, but it is not possible with current restrictions and regulations. Thankfully, there are many professionally designed quality self-tanning products to make it easier for you. When shopping for self-tanning products, look for the kinds that come in the form of water foam. Additionally, opt for one that dries up quickly so that you can go about the rest of your activities.
Home Wax Kits
Now that you are probably not stepping out as much, there might not seem to be the need to keep certain parts of your body hair-free. But, if you still want to maintain your appearance, you should look into getting an at-home waxing kit. Waxing might be more painful than shaving, but you have a better chance of taking out in-grown hairs. Waxing can be potentially dangerous, so you must be extra careful, especially when heating the wax to use. If you are not entirely sold, you can try buying wax strips. They are just like Band-Aids and are super easy to rip off. You might feel a little sting, though.
At-Home Light Therapy Devices
Light therapy devices are great for enhancing skincare. Not only that, but it can also be used as pain relief. Each color that is emitted has various benefits; the red infrared lighting helps to boost cell regeneration that reduces signs of wrinkling and aging. On the other hand, the blue light has more antibacterial purposes designed to fight pimples and provide relief to people with chronic pain. Omnilux is one of the leading manufacturers of at-home light therapy devices. One of the best things about these products is that they are portable devices that allow you to carry on with your activities while using them.

Hair Dye
Dyeing your hair can either go two ways: good or disastrous, especially if you want to try out a completely different color. It is extremely risky since lots of salons are currently not operating in many states. Unless you get someone to help you, it would be best to stick to dyes closer to your hair color if you are concerned about how your roots are looking. However, if you are still feeling adventurous, you can check out tutorial videos on YouTube and make sure you have all the right tools available.
So, there you have it! You can still maintain your beauty regimen while staying at home. Remember, you might need some assistance and to exercise a lot of care and caution. When it is time to step back out, you will still look the same or, even better!
