How to create DIY SKINCARE using natural and organic ingredients.

Have you ever thought about creating your own skincare products?

Not only is it easy, affordable, it's actually quite fun once you know how. Plus you have the confidence of knowing exactly what goes into your skincare (with no hidden nasties!) 

I first started to experiment with my own skincare many years ago, starting with a simple recipe for face moisturiser that is soothing, nourishing and 100% natural. This is a great recipe for beginners to try, so I thought I'd share it with you. 

Here's how I did it. 

Recipe for natural moisturiser
You will need:
One part carrier oil (I used Almond oil)
One part butter (I used shea butter)
1 or 2 essential oils (Lavender and Rose geranium are a great combo).

Method:
Add the almond oil and shea butter to a glass bowl and heat it up using the double boiler method (this is where you heat water in a saucepan, and put the bowl on top so it melts gradually).

Heat the oil and butter mid on low to medium heat.
When the butter has melted, remove the glass bowl, mid gently and allow to cool. 
Once cooled, add a few drops of your preferred essential oils.
Stir gently then pour into a container wiht a lid.
Label the lid with the content and a date and refrigerate until solid.

You now have a beautiful, toxin-free, 100% natural homemade moisturiser!

Playing around with this recipe is what started my journey to become a fully qualified aromatherapist, and I've since learned how to make facial oils, cremes and serums, moisturisers and body lotions and cleansers and soaps.

I love creating pure, natural skincare for my customers and experimenting with natural ingredients to deliver the best health and beauty results.   

I hope you enjoy this recipe.
