Simple Cosmetic Recipes
When making natural cosmetics it is imperative that you work with clean hands and utensils. Make small batches and refrigerate what isn't being used. Use your homemade products within a few weeks, then make a fresh batch. It is fun, inexpensive, empowering and you will know exactly what you are putting on your body. Plus you can avoid all the chemical additives in commercial products.
