If this season is teaching us anything, it is to be resourceful. Spending so much time at home while some of our favorite places to frequent are closed has not been easy. Many of our favorite places, like hair salons, nail salons, and spas, have been temporarily closed as the country practices social distancing. That means that a lot of the beauty treatments we are used to getting done by professionals are now left for us to try and do on ourselves or they won't get done. And, hey, no shame in giving some of those treatments up for the time being, but there's also no shame in trying to DIY them at home.

A lot of celebrities like Chiquis Rivera have also had to say goodbye, for now, to their go-to glam squads and have had to fend for themselves when it comes to their beauty treatments. Other stars like Cardi B have not been able to resist the urge and have called in some expert reinforcements to make sure they're looking good, even if they're just at home hanging out with family. Take a look at how some celebrities have adapted their beauty treatments for the time being.
Some stars are looking like it's business as usual.
While most of us are spending our days in pajamas with our hair in a bun and with no makeup on, Cardi B is making sure she still looks as glam as ever. She's may be mostly hanging out at home with her husband, Offset, and her daughter, Kulture, but her glam life is a lifestyle!
Cardi B appeared to be getting an at home wax.
It looks Cardi might have called in some help for a very specific reason. The rapper shared some videos to her Instagram Stories of herself laying down in a bed with a mask on and she seemed to be getting a bikini wax. The Grammy winner was shouting in pain, while someone went to work on the wax. Ouch!
She got her toes and nails done.
While most places were closed, some businesses were allowed to open in states like Georgia, where the rapper seems to be spending this lockdown. If you know anything about Cardi, you know that she loves her nails super long and freshly done at all times. This time is no exception! The rapper had her nails done longer than ever and also got her toenails done.
Chiquis has been styling her own hair.
While we love seeing Chiquis with her long extensions, we also adore her rocking her short bob. The singer shared a video of how she is styling her hair at home, while using a blow dryer brush and she styled her hair in less than 10 minutes! Sadly, she has since deleted the video because she scrubs her account from time to time.
Chiquis is so good at doing her own makeup.
Chiquis' glam squad is unmatched. We're sure the ones the singer usually goes to do her makeup for events and her concerts are proud to of how well she does on her own when they aren't available.
Jessica Alba shared her skin care routine.
Being home all day doesn't mean we should slack on our skin care routines, and Jessica Alba made sure she showed her fans how she does her routine. "My daily skincare routine is up and skincare is my jam guys! I feel like skin is the foundation of a good beauty routine. I’ve been working as an actress since I was 12, so giving my skin the love and care it needs has always been a priority (thanks mom @cathyalba !)" she captioned this pic. "As a mom of 3, entrepreneur, actress, etc. my skin care routine has transitioned into being the foundation of self care!"
The actress has been sharing a lot of no makeup selfies.
The Honest Company founder has been doing her due diligence when it comes to skin care. She has shared different types of masks and scrubs she has been using, and since she owns Honest Beauty, she probably knows a thing or two about making sure our skin is looking good.
Kylie Jenner has been showing off her clear skin.
Kylie is a makeup and skin care mogul so it is literally her job to make herself look good as part of her brand. She has been hanging out at home and keeping it more natural in terms of makeup and hair.
Kylie has been working on her makeup routine.
Kylie's go-to makeup artist, Ariel, must be so proud. Kylie has been trying new makeup routines and looks while she is home to stay busy. In a since deleted mirror selfie on Instagram she wrote: "Experimenting with makeup has been keeping me entertained. hbu?"
The makeup mogul shared a closeup of her work.
Kylie Cosmetics shared this closeup video of Kylie showing off her makeup look and it looks fantastic. This is a good opportunity, if you have free time, to work on your craft–and it looks like the reality TV star is making the most of her downtime.
Kendall Jenner shared how she uses her sister's products.
Kylie Jenner's older sister Kendall Jenner is a supermodel who could pretty much use anyone's beauty products. Still, she likes using the ones made by her sister's beauty company, and shared a video of how she uses them on herself—from bronzer to blush to gloss!
Eva Longoria touched up her own roots.
When Eva shared how she covered her roots at home in a pinch, hair salons were not an option. Eva was well aware that for those of us who need a quick root touch-up, this could be a problem. Eva shared a product she used to quickly touch up her roots by herself, without the need of any external help.
And it turned out pretty well.
She later shared this photo of her results and she looked as good as new! She had quite a lot of gray hair coming in and by the looks of it, there is not a gray hair in sight. Good for her!
Eva also shared how you could cover your roots more permanently.
If you need a quick fix, spraying your roots is easy enough, but if you want something more permanent, Eva shared how easy it is to color your hair at home with an at home hair dye kit. The results are pretty stellar and it really doesn't take that much time or money to do.
Eva also has some advice on how to pamper your skin at home.
She shared a sponsored post about how she brings the spa home and wrote: "Clean, fresh, and vibrant skin is always in and finding at-home spa-like beauty devices is more important than ever. I’m in love with the @spasciences NOVA Cleansing Brush and MIO Microdermabrasion tools available at Walmart and spasciences.com "
Jada Pinkett Smith shared how she cares for her skin.
Here's part of the caption she included when she shared a self-care post:
"My Skin Restarter Routine
Hopefully there is a little something in here for everyone on this #selfcaresunday✨
Here is one of my skin restarter routines that I use after wearing makeup everyday on shoots and so forth. I USE THIS ROUTINE ONCE EVERY 2 – 3 MONTHS. For instance… when I returned from shooting the Matrix, I hit this routine.
I AM NOT BEING PAID FOR THE USE OF ANY PRODUCTS IN THIS VID. This is ONE of many routines that I really use✨ I’m listing one product you might not be able to see in the video which is the Kreyol Essence Face Oil.
And here are the measurements for the DIY avocado and honey mask I use.
- 1/2 avocado
- 2 tablespoons of honey
This DIY mask is my fav!!! Skin is a living organism and loves nutrients like what this mask offers.
The rest of the products you’ll see in the video. I’ll share one of my daily routines next."
She also shared what beauty product makes her feel courageous.
She wrote: "Mirror mirror on the wall who’s the boldest of them all? A red lip always brings out my courageous one ✨#bebold What’s the thing in your life that helps you to be more bold?" If you're like Jada and the answer is red lipstick, then wear the lipstick, even if you're not going out.
