DIY Spa Day Routine

This week is a longer video because I’m jamming so many (actually awesome) DIY spa/pamper ideas PLUS my DIY facial. Everything you need is listed and linked below this description! I am a huge fan of treating yourself but I also am not one that likes to socialize when I want to chill 🙈. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good spa but I love being at home more. I wanted to show you guys how I pamper myself including the honey facial all my ladies inquire about when I post it on my Instagram (feel free to follow me @rachel_metz and see my obsession with my dog if you want). There are so many different DIY spa day routines out there, what works for you? Let me know if you guys want to see more of this! I have so much in the works but what matters most is what you want so leave me a comment below. Happy Wednesday, stay rad 🤘.

Everyone’s skin responds different but this is what works for me. I do this facial every four days! This facial works for brightening and moisturizing the skin while helping reducing blemishes. Honey for , lemon for and baking soda for . I use Apple Cider Vinegar for my toner ONLY when I do this facial but normally I use Witch Hazel as my daily toner. Coconut oil doesn’t work for everyone (it’s a trial & error kind of deal) but my skin LOVES it.

Scarlet Do you have a job?

[@shannh6724]

Taylor How do you know?

[@shannh6724]

Taylor How in the hell are you going to tag me to say that dumb crap but wont say how you know?! Or are you just assuming dumb shit?!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

KZbin is my job, my mother is dead and I'm 29.

[@emilydao_]

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Cody Khaoz 😘

[@daisyflower2653]

Omg

[@SimplyHandmade]

Looks like a nice relaxing spa day! I wanna try the coffee massage bar one. Looks amazing.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

It really is! I used it on Paul's back later and he's obsessed. I didn't do the coffee infused oil because I hate when something smells too strong of coffee and then it sticks to you all day.

[@SimplyHandmade]

Living to DIY with Rachel Metz yes I agree w that. The beans are enough.

[@bananamolk1713]

Am I the only kid who watches this kind of stuff 😂

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Super easy diy vanilla lip scrub! Mix sugar and vanilla extract

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Love!

[@danielle8877]

Dont put apple cider vinegar, baking soda, or lemon on your face. Even if it seems like its helping for now it's super damaging and you'll notice in the long run

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@linaalbaddawi20]

I’m so grateful that I found your channel amazing DIY’s most of them reflect my character

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you! I hope you have a great day as well xx.

[@MrHippoty]

i think the end results were great but it seemed a little rushed and i think you should have had all the right ingredients for the recipes first. no hate though;) it was great

[@ginafriend1690]

Good one! 👍 💆😘

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@skdxb060572]

Love the vid

[@tick-tackgirl335]

l love how you went straite to the point.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@iolite13]

This video is nice but oh my god please don't use lemon, baking soda, apple cider vinegar and coconut oil on your face. Lemon is photosensitive and very acidic, baking soda is quite basic (in terms of pH) and there is a reason people use it as a DIY detergent ingredient. Apple cider vinegar is also very acidic (ethanoic acid) and should only be used when its very diluted down and coconut oil is also comedogenic (blocks pores). Try things like making an oatmeal mask which doubles as a scrub and has hydrating properties, also witch hazel and rose water make for good toners too. Shea butter is also a good alternative to coconut oil on the face since its non-comedogenic.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thanks for the tips! Truly appreciate the info.

[@accesstotheredcarpet]

That’s what I use fragrance free organic witch hazel. And yes Shea butter is awesome!

[@angies.7538]

Came to say this! Great comment!

[@anamikakumari4997]

In the facial can you skip baking soda 🙂🙂

[@spoopyspelepons4793]

Can we put in the muscle soak and bath melts at the same time?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

+gmoreno 4900 yes!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

+gmoreno 4900 it worked for me at least!

[@spoopyspelepons4793]

Living to DIY with Rachel Metz thanks!

[@abbila1708]

Facial over eyebrows too? Wish I had a bathtub like that.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

My eyebrows are minimal and I actually break out in them haha thanks for watching!

[@cutiiieclxuds2895]

I added coffee to the muscle soak

[@accesstotheredcarpet]

I tried the ACD and could not tolerate the smell. I use fragrance free organic witch hazel toner.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I use that as well but have had to upgrade to Mario Bedescu products.

[@kittenmimi5326]

The massage bar seems like it'd be awesome for your back but it's kinda hard to reach so you maybe would need someone else to do it 😅

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I guess we can turn it into "Romantic DIY Spa Night" haha.

[@kittenmimi5326]

@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz Lol haha guess we can~ it'll be so much fun 🤣

[@peytons6210]

Do u put the mustle soak in a bath

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Yes.

[@emmaboyd2270]

This said diy, the only thing diy was the drink Edit: wrong video, I actually really enjoyed this video! honestly it’s probably the best one out of all the ones I watched!❤️

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Plenty of other DIY channels out there with way more in depth spa day ideas. This was when I first started my channel so these videos weren't the best but I use power tools mainly now so no need to fret about me making more like this. Have a great weekend!

[@emmaboyd2270]

Living to DIY with Rachel Metz wait omg idk why I commented on this one!? Idk why but I very much apologize for this comment! I was meaning to comment on something else, but this video I really liked and I saved it to my playlist😍 im soooo sorry😭😭😭

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

No worries at all! No need to apologize xx.

[@olabrok8281]

pozdrowienia dla Was z Polski :)

[@real-lifebrat5707]

czesc

[@spoopyspelepons4793]

Can we use buttermilk powder in the bath melts?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

+gmoreno 4900 I wouldn't.

[@spoopyspelepons4793]

+Living to DIY with Rachel Metz OK thank you,but would you recommend soy milk powder?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I would give that a try! Buttermilk just sounds nasty haha.

[@spoopyspelepons4793]

Living to DIY with Rachel Metz LOL thanks!❤

[@AR-gp7nl]

Avatar Korra I've used powdered buttermilk in mine and they turn out sooo much more moisturizing in my opinion!! It's amazing!!!

[@drishtihirani108]

Does applecider vinegar burn on the skin?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

There is a tingle like any other toner but test it on a small patch of your arm before applying to be sure your skin is responding well.

[@drishtihirani108]

Thankyou

[@caryssabarrett5360]

Don't put lemon juice and baking soda on your skin... its SO bad for your moisture barrier and can lead to worsened acne.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Really? It's only helped my skin personally but thank you for the tip.

[@shannh6724]

Caryssa Barrett Is this your skin?

[@constipatedaf]

It is whatever because they neutralise each other.

[@kiaramcnabb2504]

I aspire to be you one day lol

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Stop it! Thank you love .

[@GoldenGaming-yp7xx]

Hello a thank you for the help!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@billchr791]

I would really love to see them being tested though ;)

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

+Bill Chr I did test them at the end? You mean like a more thorough review? Thanks for the feedback.

[@shannh6724]

Bill Chr Did you even watch the entire video before commenting?

[@subhasishdey551]

Are those bath melts edible???lol

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

No! Haha

[@constipatedaf]

Lemon Juice and Banking Soda neutralise each other.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

It worked for my skin! It’s all about finding what works for you.

[@lauracarvalho4072]

oi

[@alexiabaillie9271]

Anyone here in 2020 in quarantine cos their bored😂💀

[@Bunnyb23]

No need for the honey and milk :)

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thanks for the tip!

[@cheenythegreat]

so I'm just watching a diy spa day video and fucking P-rod walks in

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Haha yeah he's my human, he tends to do that.

[@hxneymelonn3319]

DO NOT use lemon on your face !! you can replace the lemon with coconut oil or almond oil! do not use anything with acid please! :)

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

YAS I learned that after this video from you guys. Appreciate that.

[@srishti3971]

i wouldn’t recommend using coconut oil, it’s comedogenic. it can clog your pores

[@ruxxrousxxfanmixerxx5844]

For the lip scrub you don't need all THAT just use sugar and olive oil or any oil. Works just fine without all THAT.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

That's the beauty about DIY lip scrub - recipes and mixtures are endless. Have a GREAT day.

[@billchr791]

first?

[@MuhammadUsman-rw4xu]

First step:have a beautiful bathroom

[@sophiesgopro8979]

2020 ppl??

[@ivorix2009]

hi

[@catzside2365]

Jojoba oil is better on skin than Vitamin E oil

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you for that!

[@catzside2365]

Living to DIY with Rachel Metz Your welcome!

[@mast3w1n84]

Anyone in 2020

[@gymnasticsandchallenges6276]

don,t have the stuff

[@cicilps387]

You should never put lemon on your skin

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thanks for the tip! It helped me personally but I did not do it for long.

[@marciparks3377]

Please don't put baking soda or lemon on your face! Those are both much too harsh... The pH of both are so bad for your skin.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thanks Marci for the tip - everyone's face is different! This actually helped me through an insanely rough period but I no longer use it.

[@shannh6724]

Marci Parks Did you not know that everyone is different? As well as there is NO law stating this.

[@marciparks3377]

MsShaye H there is no law! I was just hoping that other would read this and not damage their skin like I did mine. My dermatologist recommended the same for anyone because of the harsh pH. You can obviously put whatever you like on your face though, it's yours.

[@shannh6724]

Marci Parks Ok just because YOU messed your skin up doesnt mean she will. Your dermatologist don't know about everyone's skin. We are all different. If its working for her, then how can you assume she's messing up her skin?

[@marciparks3377]

MsShaye H I'm pretty sure a dermatologist can talk about EVERYONES skin. It's their job. There are many articles in medical journals detailing the damage skin care products with incorrect pH can do to the skin! I would love to link some reading for you... but I feel bad because I can't find any that are free access.

[@talayrozic2212]

I would like to say that having the Buddha in your bathroom looks really bad and some Buddhist might find it really insulting. But loved your video it was really handy. xoxoxo

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

+Talay Rozic everyone gets offended over everything nowadays. Skaters got mad about using a board as a shelf but am I suppose to tailor my house to other people's opinions? No that would stink because it wouldn't make it my home. Its home decor when it comes down to it and I am sorry if it offended you but it added a great touch to my space! 🙌🏼 thanks for the comment!

[@shannh6724]

Talay Rozic Get off the bottle and drugs!

[@gardensnailll]

Shanny H ? wth?

[@Knazy]

Jesus Christ I got so stressed watching this hahah you were talking and moving on so fast

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Pretty sure this is from when I first started my channel three years ago. As with everything, you learn, grow and progress. I've slowed down but thank you for this comment xx.

[@lolahendrix8626]

you talk to fast

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

SO fast - always been a problem. Slowly but surely getting better xx.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]
