You Can Make Your Own Natural Skin Care Products

Mind is All

With people becoming much more aware of what they are putting into their bodies it is no wonder that people are also starting to consider what they put on their skin also. If you pick up a bottle of facial soap or lotion and read the label, the first thing you will notice is now jam packed full of chemicals the products are. People should really avoid many of the chemicals that are on these lists.

You don’t have to live in the world of chemicals if you don't want to. By using products found in nature such as antioxident rich fruits, vitamin E rich oils, and natural prodcuts like bee's wax you can create many beautiy prodcuts at home. One great book to consider is Better Basics For Your Home which not only speaks about easy to make products for your skin and hair but green cleaning ideas for all over your house. It is easy to make your own products from scratch and also fun. You can make your own lip balm out of bees wax, organic coconut oil, olive oil, and a little bit of vanilla extract. You can store extra products in the fridge or freezer for later use. You can purchase premade kit for making chap stick if you prefer to try out some before you make your own.

If you really decide to ditch your chemical laden soaps you can learn to make your own easily from scratch. Books such as The Natural Soap Book can teach you how to make your own chemical free soaps. By learning to make soaps from scratch you can tailor your soap to be more or less cleansing depending on your skin type. Plus making soaps has come down to a science; the days of getting burns from lye-based soap are over. These lye soaps are incredibly gentle on the skin and are actually super fatted so they are actually moisturizing for you skin.
