Make Your Own Home Made Beauty Products
Do You Think It Is Impossible To Create Your Own Organic Cosmetics? Think Again!
Home made beauty products are often passed off as cheap alternatives. Well
they may be cheap, but that doesn't mean they don't work. When you make your own
beauty products you are in control of which ingredients to use.
We know that natural oils and other natural ingredients are
better for your skin then chemically manufactured ones, so take
advantage of this and start making your own home made beauty
products today. Below are some simple recipes you can use to get
started.
Whilst it may seem easier to simply buy your cosmetics, it is
sometimes better for your skin if you actually make the
products yourself. You may think that making your own organic
cosmetics is impossible, but you might actually be surprised!
The general rule you should remember when creating your own
cosmetics is if you would not like to eat it, do not put it on
your skin. This may sound ridiculous but what makes us think
that chemicals are better for the skin than natural products?
Creating Your Own Organic Skin Care Products for the Face
All you need to get started are a few organic ingredients, a
few recipes and a little enthusiasm. Some good recipes include:
A Great Facial Scrub
In order to create a nice facial scrub all you need is honey,
yoghurt and oatmeal. Combine them altogether and rub them over
the face before thoroughly washing the mixture off. If you have
a reaction to honey, you could always just use the yoghurt and
oatmeal. The oatmeal is what makes the scrubbing part of the
scrub as the pieces of oats rub against the skin and get rid of
all dead skin. This really can leave your face looking
moisturized and refreshed.
A Moisturizing Facial
If you suffer from dry skin you may want to try the honey
facial. Honey is widely known for its moisturizing properties
and it is used in many homemade recipes. In this one simply
combine one tablespoon of honey with one egg yolk and a
tablespoon of olive oil. Once all the ingredients have been
mixed together, simply leave on the skin for up to fifteen
minutes and wash off to reveal smoother, healthier looking
skin.
Face Masks
There are quite a few face masks you can make for yourself and
one of those is the Peach mask. This is used for tightening the
skin and all you need is one ripe peach which has been peeled
and pitted, and one egg white. Whip the two ingredients
together and once completely mixed, apply the mixture to the
face and sit back for around half an hour before rinsing it off
with cool water.
Another good mask is the Cucumber mask. Now cucumber is used
for many beauty recipes but it is especially good for oily
skin. So if you do have oily skin this mask is for you. You
will need half a cucumber, one tablespoon of mint and one
tablespoon of lemon juice, as well as an egg white. Mix them
altogether into a puree and store it in a fridge for ten
minutes. Next apply it to the face and leave on for around
fifteen minutes. It is important to rinse the mixture off with
warm, and then cool water.
If you have blemishes a mask containing a ripe tomato, one
tablespoon of rolled oats and one tablespoon of lemon juice may
well be for you. Blend everything together and apply it to your
skin. You have to make sure that the mixture is thick enough to
cling onto blemished areas. Leave the mixture on for around ten
minutes and then scrub it all off.
Overall there are quite a few different products you can create
for the face. If you take a quick look online you will find
hundreds of do it yourself recipes. All you need is a little
time, motivation and imagination and you can easily create your
own products to suit your skin.
Making your own cosmetics really does not need to be expensive
and many ingredients can usually be found in the kitchen
cupboard anyway. Whatever skin type you have, there is always
something for you.
