Cosmetics start where DIY end – and that’s especially true with natural beauty, where companies have been supercharging what’s in your garden and on your kitchen table. If you’re looking for all the benefits of nature without any of the peeling, mashing and mess that DIY skin hacks can often involve, read on for the best in natural beauty products. Bonus: all of these products are available in the UAE either in-store or online.

Instead of rubbing a lemon on your face to treat dull, discolored skin, use a Vitamin C serum to get all the benefits of this skin food without having to suffer through rashy, reactive skin. This Clinique duo promises younger, smoother skin in as little as seven days and features ultra-hydrating Vitamin C as its star ingredient.

We all know how great avocado is for your skin. Avocado’s naturally occurring fatty acids are great at moisturizing and protecting even the thinnest areas of your face. But it’s also just as good for your hair and Curl Charisma’s avocado-powered hair line proves it. Their patented frizz control gel tames even the unruliest flyaways and locks moisture into every strand – an essential for perfectly coiffed curls this summer.

Honey is great in any DIY face mask– even just by itself. Its antibacterial, hydrating properties have seen it help heal many a breakout. But Black Sugar’s exfoliating mask, which pairs powerhouse ingredient honey with moisturizing black sugar, supercharges the kitchen staple.

The complex can actually strengthen skin, too, making it perfect for those suffering from acne. We’re clicking ‘Add To Cart’ on this bamboo-infused Séve de Bamboo eye gel, which lightens, brightens and reduces signs of tiredness around the eyes.
