"If you wouldn't eat it, don't put it on your skin!"
As the most permeable membrane in the human body, it's amazing how many of us put things we can't even pronounce on our faces & all over!
After getting fed up with trying & trying to find a moisturizer with non-sketchy ingredients that I could actually afford, I finally threw in the towel on shopping & made my own. My skin absolutely loves this top quality skin food & I also use it as a makeup base!
Ingredients are:
Coconut oil, shea butter, and vitamin E.
To be honest, I don't use exact measurements, but generally I try for 2 times as much coconut oil as shea butter.
Also amazing to add are:
essential oils, beeswax for body butter, and argan or emu oil for a more luxurious face cream.
Please let me know if you try this yourself, or if you make your own skin care products!
I can't wait to hear about everyone's DIY skincare experiments.
