Make Your Own Skin Lotions, Oils, Salves, and Washes from Recipes below.
Making your own products is a liberating experience!
And a great way to try out a solution for your question, “what exactly is clean beauty?”. Assess whether it matches your expectations for ease of use and self-care. Does your skin feel just as clean and smooth, do you feel a little thrill from using your own mixtures?
Being an astute label reader and consumer helps you collect the right ingredients, the ones that are minimally processed and free of preservatives. Making just enough ensures that your mixtures are fresh and vital. Thus, making your own clean beauty allows for creativity and unique or bespoke results. Store them in cold and dark cupboards or the refrigerator during hot weather.
