If making your own skin and beauty products appeals then do consider starting with some simple products.

However if you really want to make some more exiting natural skincare products at home then consider producing "aromatic" herbs and oils.
You can use many commercially available plants and herbs or even grow the most common ones in your garden or allotment.
How to make
Mix Chamomile with lavender or lemon oil. Lavender oil is a good toner and lemon oil is a good rejuvenator and toner. Add Vitamin C crystals as a preservative and antioxidant.
Plants needed
- Lavender - Chamomile
- (buy the other ingredients in a health food store)
1st Step / More information ?
If you want to produce your own skin care products then we recommend that you have a detailed look at some of the popular books (either downloaded or ordered from a shop). They will help you step by step and usually contain a wealth of recipes and ideas for producing your own skin care products.
Then you all you is decide which skin care products you would like to produce and then select the plants or herbs you need.
Why not begin with Soap ?
If you are new to making your own natural skin care products then we recommend starting with soap as it's very easy to do and you can use it as a foundation for moving onto other natural homemade skin care products.
For example the 'simple soapmaking' manual will show you have to select the best vegetable oils for lathering and hardness of the bars.
Which ingredients will preserve your soap, and extend the scent of your bars.
The key to your success will be to follow a step by step plan (you can always experiment a bit later !) For details click Here
