Egzandra Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Hi everyone, it's some time since I have been on here, not had much time for crafts as we have had a house move. Lately I have been thinking of making my own cosmetics and wondered if anyone else had tried this? it started because my daughter bought me some Liz Earle face cream, which is lovely but expensive. My daughter bought me some trial sizes and I have since splurged on the full sizes, and my skin has improved because of this. However, I wonder if making my own using natural ingredients, like shea butter and rosehip seed oil might be just as good. Any thoughts, anyone? I made some soap last year and it turned out well, there is enough to last us about four years so can't make any more of that just yet.

Snowy Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I think it's worth a try! I like to use a homemade recipe (in the self sufficient section I think) on my face for cleansing - it's just a mix of virgin castor oil and olive oil with a few drops of essential oil (clary sage) to make it smell nice. It works really well so I am sure other things could be made! Let us know how you get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egzandra Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Thanks, Snowy I will. I have got some oils left over from my soap making last year, including some apricot kernal oil, so I'll start off with them. Sorry, Liz Earle, your creams are gorgeous, but I am going to try my own creations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
