Skin Care Recipes, Make Up Your Own From Home With These Simple Formulas.
I recently attended a ‘make-your-own’ skin care workshop and took my girlfriend along to share the fun with. Talk about a blast!
I had no idea how easy it is to make your own lipstick, lotions, essential oils, body wraps, soaps and so on, and I didn’t appreciate either that there is a entire community of folks conjuring up their own beauty potions and saving a small fortune while they’re at it.
My buddy and I started in the ‘Beginners’ group and were gobsmacked by the seemingly infinite list of beauty products you can make yourself at home with uncomplicated to follow formulas and all the ingredients listed and easily obtained.
As a starter, I decided to try my hand at a conjuring up little lip balm while my pal decided she would cook up some bathroom products.
My welcoming and very clued-up coach took me aside to potions cabinet and explained that we only needed a few simple ingredients required to create a moisturizing, all-natural, lip balm base equivalent to any you would get from a beauty salon.
I’m not about to give any trade secrets away here so let’s have a peek at the ingredients.
· 1 ounce Jojoba
· 1 ounce Fractionated Coconut Oil
· 2 ounces Mango Butter
· 1 ounce Beeswax
· 1 - 1 1/2 tsp. Flavour Oil, Peppermint Essential Oil or Organic Spearmint Essential Oil
If you have any concerns concerning where to get the ingredients, do not be troubled she whispered, they’re all easily obtainable on the internet along with all the recipes and other hints and advice that go with it.
Ok, that appears easy enough I commented. As simple as pie she said smiling as if to say “Yup, so soooo easy that everyone can do it”.
Wasn’t long before we had a batch ready for bottling but get this! For about $20 worth of ingredients, I made enough moisturizing, all-natural, lip balm base to fill:
80 Mini Lip Balm Pots
Or,
10 1/2 oz. Silver Tins
Or,
20 1/4 oz. Clear Dome Jars
My buddy created some exquisite soaps formed from a variety of moulds and scented with a rich variety of fantastic fragrances.
We had such a excellent time that we’ll certainly be going back for another session.
However you don’t even have to physically be present at a workshop to get happening, you can learn on-line and I have found a few sites that offer an amazing array of skin care recipes, help from the experts and community forums where you can swap ideas and tips with other wizards of the beauty kitchen.
My introduction into making my own beauty products and cosmetics has been a real eye opener for me. When I think of the $100’s and hundreds of dollars I have dished out to retail brand names when I could have been making them myself using the same ingredients, the same portions and in essence the same methods… wow! My mind boggles.
The good news is that now I know how straightforward it is for anyone to do, and how much cash I can save, I won’t have to buy over the counter again, ever. I sincerely can’t recommend highly enough making your own beauty products. It’s enjoyable, it saves you loads of money, and they also make great presents for friends and family.
Anyway, guess what we’re doing next weekend. We’re going to take a batch of our organic soaps and balms along to the local market to make a bit of extra pocket money. It’s all part of the fun!
