I keep a collection of
natural ingredients at my home. At any
time, when I feel that I need a good facial, a good spa, or just simply a good
bath, I whip out one or more of these ingredients from my collection, combine
them from stuffs from my kitchen or garden—whoola, I have a homemade facial scrub,
a homemade facial mask, or a homemade body mask to enjoy. Here are some examples from my
collections. I would recommend you start
creating your own collection based on your likes and dislikes and more
specifically your skin type.
Lavender essential oil: Works in every blend to relax both mind and body. You can add a few drops to your bath water, a few drops to your facial message oil, facial toner, or facial mask. The lavender oil is anti-inflammatory and has estrogenic effect. It’s good for a woman’s health inside out.
Lemon essential oil: Especially suitable for oily skin. Lemon oil can be used as an astringent and works well with a skin toner. The oil also has antiseptic effect and therefore is good for recipes for acne prone skin.
Sweet almond oil: Great for all skin types. You can use as a base oil in a face or body message oil, beauty oil, or make a lip or hand balm with a thicker oil such as shea butter.
Calendual oil: This oil has great anti-inflammatory properties and vulnerary properties. You can use as a base oil in recipes for dry cracked and irritated skin.
Beeswax: This is a must have ingredient that you can use to tickens balms and creams naturally.
Shea butter: This is natural fat obtained from shea nut. The butter melts easily and is solid at room temperature. The butter is a natural moisturizer. Mix an essential oil of your choice into shea butter, you can make a great natural balm.
Chamomile herb and essential oil: This herb calms and cools the skin and therefore is very versatile. You can use it as a tea, an infusion, a mask, a skin toner, or in the bath as it. You can add the essential oil to a balm, a skin oil, or cream and it treats allergies, cramps, skin irritation and sensitivities.
Aloe vera: A great first-aid plant that grows easily on your window sill. Break off a piece to relieve a burn. You can also buy in the liquid or gel form, which can be used in cooling sprays, skin toner, and creams to moisturize and calm sensitive skin, and relieve itching.
Oats: Soften and nourish the skin. Use whole oats to make oat meal and use the supernatant as a lotion base or in a moisturizing mask. Use oat flour in a facial wash, a facial scrub, or a facial mask—it is a mild exfoliant, especially for sensitive skins.
