Have you tried making your own organic beauty recipes yet? It’s Organic Beauty Week this week so now’s certainly a good time to give it a go.
I’m always trying out new homemade scrubs, creams and more so the team asked me to round-up my favourite ones for every skin type. The best thing about every one of these (in fact, every beauty remedy I make) is that they are completely natural – no nasty chemicals, just lots of good-for-you stuff. And, if you have a look in your cupboards at home, you’ve probably already got what you need to make some of these. Here they are…
Super-soothing, this easy-to-make cream’s great for every skin type, but especially good for sensitive skin. I made it with aloe vera – known for its natural antioxidant and healing properties. Get the recipe here.
I love using this one as the seasons change and the nights draw in. (It’s the perfect excuse for a long, soothing soak in the bath!). The lavender in this recipe will really help you drift off, too. Get the recipe here.
Like aloe vera, green tea is also loaded with natural antioxidants – and works just as well n beauty recipes as it does in a cup!
The sugar in this face wash means it’s a natural, yet gentle, exfoliator. Honey moisturises your skin, while the green tea can help reduce any redness, too. Get the recipe here.
