Salon Treatments You Can DIY At Home With Boots Beauty

If like me, you're living a busy lifestyle, finding the time to indulge in salon beauty treatments often takes a back seat. Thankfully, my reliable go-to beauty destination Boots is always a click or shopping trip away for budget-friendly beauty products that can be enjoyed from the comfort of my home to help me re-create spa-like treatments at a time and place that suits me best.

This guide takes you on a journey through the world of DIY beauty, featuring products that are conveniently available at Boots. Best of all, they are affordable and don’t require salon visits. So, your much-desired self-care time just got even better!

So, look at my chosen beauty products from Boots to discover how to carry out salon-like beauty treatments at home at a time and price that suits you best.

Eyebrow Tinting & Shaping Products:

Your eyebrows play a pivotal role in framing your face and enhancing your overall appearance. Whether you prefer bold and defined brows or a more natural look, achieving perfectly sculpted eyebrows at home is easier than you might think. With the right tools, techniques, and products from Boots, you can confidently take control of your eyebrow game and achieve salon-worthy results.

So, let’s look at my chosen eyebrow products:

Eylure Dybrow Dark Brown:

To achieve defined eyebrows, I’ve picked the Eylure Dybrow in Dark Brown. This kit contains an eyebrow tint formula that helps to nourish your brows. The results are long-lasting, with a shade that complements various skin tones. Follow the instructions for easy application and enjoy fuller, beautifully tinted brows for up to six weeks.

Nad's Natural Eyebrow Wand:

Nad's Natural Eyebrow Wand is formulated with natural ingredients to ensure a gentle waxing experience. It's designed with a precision tip for accuracy, making it perfect for shaping eyebrows and removing unwanted facial hair. The wand removes hair from the root, leaving your skin smooth and hair-free.

How To Do Eyebrows At Home

Let's delve into the step-by-step process of how to do your eyebrows at home:

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Be sure you have everything you need on hand before starting. Here's what you'll need:

Eylure Dybrow Dark Brown for tinting
Nad's Natural Eyebrow Wand for shaping and defining.
Tweezers for precision hair removal.
A brow combing and shaping spoolie brush.
Small scissors to trim any excessively long brow hairs.
A magnifying mirror to ensure precision.

Step 2: Assess Your Natural Brow Shape

Take a moment to evaluate your natural brow shape. This will help you determine where to start, where your arch should be, and where your brow should end.

Step 3: Start Shaping

Using Eylure Dybrow to tint your brows, carefully follow the instructions provided in the kit. Mix the dye according to the instructions and apply it using the applicator. Allow the dye to develop for the recommended time, then wipe it off to reveal beautifully tinted brows.

To shape your brows using wax, use Nad's Natural Eyebrow Wand according to the instructions. Apply the wax in the direction of hair growth, covering the area you want to shape. Place a cloth strip over the wax and press down gently. Hold your skin taut and quickly pull the strip in the opposite direction of hair growth to remove the wax and unwanted hair.

Step 4: Tweeze Unwanted Hair

Use tweezers to pluck any stray hairs that fall outside the desired brow shape. Avoid over-plucking by taking it slow and removing just one hair at a time.

Step 5: Define the Shape

Use your natural brow shape as a guide and lightly fill in any sparse areas using an eyebrow pencil or powder that matches your hair colour. I recommend the XX Revolution FleeXX Brow Pomade, as featured in my Boots Party Makeup look post.

To create a natural-looking arch, use the "three-point method." Imagine a line from the outer edge of your nostril to the inner corner of your eye – this is where your brow should start. Next, imagine a line from the outer edge of your nostril to the centre of your pupil – this is where your arch should be. Finally, imagine a line from the outer edge of your nostril to the outer corner of your eye – this is where your brow should end.

Step 6: Brush and Trim

Using a spoolie brush, comb your brow hairs upward. Any long hairs should be trimmed with tiny scissors. This step gives your brows a neat and polished appearance.

Step 7: Set Your Brows

Finish off by using a clear or tinted brow gel to set your eyebrows in place. This will help maintain the shape and hold throughout the day.

With the right products and a little patience, achieving salon-like eyebrow results at home is achievable. Boots offers a range of eyebrow products that cater to different preferences and needs, so you can confidently experiment and find the perfect approach for your unique style. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't be discouraged if it takes a few tries to get your desired eyebrow shape just right.

Body Hair Removal Products

When it comes to achieving silky smooth skin, an effective hair removal routine is key. You don't have to rely on salon visits – with the right products from Boots, you can achieve the same results in the comfort of your home using at home waxing strips, my brand of choice is Nad’s which is a cruelty-free body care brand.

Nad's Eco Salon Wax:

Embrace a sustainable approach to hair removal with Nad's Eco Salon Wax. This vegan-friendly wax is made from naturally sourced ingredients, ensuring a smooth and painless waxing experience. The unique gel formula adheres to both fine and coarse hairs, providing efficient results. It's suitable for use on legs, arms, underarms, and more.

How To Get Hair-Free Silky Smooth Skin At Home

To achieve silky smooth skin using hair removal at home products you’ll need the following items to get started:

Nad's Eco Salon Wax kit
Baby oil or post-wax soothing lotion

Step 1: Prep Your Skin

Before applying the wax, ensure your skin is clean, dry, and free from lotions or oils.

Step 2: Heat the Wax

Follow the instructions to heat the wax to the appropriate temperature. The ideal temperature would be toasty but not scorching.

Step 3: Apply the Wax

Using the wooden spatula, apply a thin layer of warmed wax in the direction of hair growth. The sustainable approach of Nad's means there is no need for a cloth to be applied, simply wait a few seconds for the wax to harden.

Step 4: Remove the Wax

Hold your skin taut with one hand and use the other to swiftly pull the wax strip off in the opposite direction of hair growth. Pull close to the skin for better results.

Step 5: Soothe Your Skin

After waxing an area, apply a soothing lotion like baby oil or a post-wax lotion to calm the skin and minimise redness.

Step 6: Repeat

Continue the process on other areas you want to wax, always following the same steps: apply, press, pull.

Step 7: Clean Up

After you've finished, clean any waxy residue using warm water and gentle soap.

Step 8: Post-Wax Care

Avoid sun exposure immediately after waxing and exfoliate the treated area gently a few days later to prevent ingrown hairs.

With Nad's Eco Salon Wax kit and some careful attention to detail, you can achieve super smooth skin from the comfort of your home. The key is to follow the instructions diligently and be patient with yourself. So, embrace the convenience and effectiveness of at-home hair removal and revel in the luxury of having silky smooth skin whenever you desire.

Hair Treatment Products

Our hair can go through a lot, so it deserves to be nourished often. Thankfully, achieving nourished, transformed locks can be done right in the comfort of your own home. So, enter the realm of keratin shampoos, which hold the power to rejuvenate and revitalise your hair to ensure it is always looking its best and is encouraged to be its healthiest and strongest.

Firstly, what is keratin? Keratin in haircare products is a natural protein that's a fundamental building block of hair. It helps strengthen, repair, and protect hair, resulting in smoother, shinier, and more resilient strands.

So, here are three of the best strengthening haircare products I’ve chosen from Boots to fortify and bring life to my hair.

TRESemme Keratin Smooth Shampoo & Conditioner:

The TRESemme Keratin Smooth Shampoo and conditioner are the perfect duo to transform frizzy and unmanageable hair. These products are infused with keratin, which aims to nourish and tame your locks while strengthening and smoothing your hair, reducing frizz, and enhancing shine.

PROVOKE Blonde Rehab Bond Repair Treatment:

To give blonde hair a new lease of life the PROVOKE Blonde Rehab Bond Repair Treatment, may be the answer. This treatment helps to repair damaged strands, restoring their strength and vitality.

L'Oreal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Heat Slayer Spray:

Shield your hair from the rigours of heat styling with L'Oreal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Heat Slayer Spray. This spray contains castor oil and vitamins B3 and B5 to protect your hair from heat damage and breakage. Before using heat styling tools, generously spritz this spray on your damp hair to create a protective barrier.

How To Nourish And Transform Hair At Home

Follow these steps to give your hair the care it craves:

Step 1: Apply the Keratin Shampoo

Squeeze out a coin-sized amount of TRESemme Keratin Smooth Shampoo into your palm. Gently rub your hands together to create a lather, then apply to your wet hair, focusing on the scalp. Massage your scalp using your fingertips, ensuring the shampoo reaches every inch.

Step 2: Rinse and Repeat

Rinse your hair thoroughly, allowing the water to wash away the shampoo. If necessary, repeat the process to ensure your hair is thoroughly cleansed.

Step 3: Condition with Care

Squeeze out an ample amount of TRESemme Keratin Smooth Conditioner. Don't get any on your scalp; instead, work it through your hair from mid-lengths to ends. Leave it on for a couple of minutes to allow the keratin and conditioning ingredients to work their magic. Additionally, once a week use the PROVOKE Blonde Rehab Bond Repair Treatment and leave it on for 10 minutes or more.

Step 4: Rinse Again

Seal the cuticles and prevent moisture loss by rinsing with cool water. Cool water also adds shine to your hair.

Step 5: Towel Dry & Protect

Gently squeeze out excess water from your hair using a soft towel and avoid rough rubbing as wet hair is more delicate and prone to damage. To finish, apply the L'Oreal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Heat Slayer Spray to provide extra protection for your strands and use your preferred styling tools to complete your look.

Your skin is a canvas that deserves to glow with radiance and achieving that radiant complexion doesn't require a spa appointment. With the face treatment products from Boots, you can embark on a journey of self-care and rejuvenation right from the comfort of your own home. I’ve previously shown how you can refresh your skincare routine, so here are my latest Boots products I’m loving right now that include natural skin-loving ingredients.

Boots Rose Face Wash:

Indulge your skin with the soothing properties of Boots Rose Face Wash. Infused with rose water and glycerin, this gentle cleanser effectively removes impurities. Massage a small amount onto damp skin, then rinse for a refreshed and clean complexion.

Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Charcoal Face Mask:

For skin purifying effects I’m using Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Charcoal Face Mask. This mask combines the clarifying benefits of charcoal, tea tree oil, and witch hazel. Apply an even layer, let it dry for about 10-15 minutes, then rinse off. The mask helps to remove dirt in your pores, minimises excess oil, and leaves your skin looking revitalised.

Boots Traditional Glycerin and Rosewater:

Elevate your skincare routine with Boots Traditional Glycerin and Rosewater. This classic blend serves as a versatile toner and facial mist. Glycerin locks in moisture, so spray it onto your face after cleansing or whenever your skin needs a boost of hydration.

Boots Vitamin C PRO Brightening Booster Serum:

Unveil a brighter complexion with Boots Vitamin C PRO Brightening Booster Serum. Infused with stabilised vitamin C, this serum evens out skin tone. After cleansing and toning, apply a few drops to your face and neck, gently patting it in.
