7 DIY Beauty Products That Will Make You Swear Off SephoraWe asked one skeptical beauty editor to use nothing but DIY recipes for a week. Here are the homemade treatments you'll want to try, stat |

The DIY: I got the tip from Hollywood skin care guru Sonya Dakar (the woman who keeps Gwyneth Paltrow looking flawless). She suggests applying a small amount of grapeseed oil right after I get out of the shower, when my skin is still damp. This way the oil can trap in the moisture. Grapeseed oil is rich in antioxidants (which help prevent premature aging) and fatty acids (which nourish and smooth skin). Plus, because it's one of the lighter, thinner oils out there, you won't feel greasy.
The Verdict: I've been using this instead of my old moisturizer for a few weeks now and my skin has never felt softer. Here's a helpful hint if you're going to try this yourself: Remember that with oil, a little goes a long way.

I gave this article 9 stars!! This article is amazing. I think there's something really to be said about making your own beauty products / treatments. You know EXACTLY what goes in them and the fact that all of these DIY recipes are under 5 ingredients makes it even better. The only reason why I took of a star is because most people don't have all the oils in their home. Other than that - spot on article!

Nice ideas but I'm not really a DIY girl so I'll stick with buying store brands already made. No preparation required.
