Skin Care

A refreshing, pH balanced skin toner is easy to make! Natural Facial Toner for Oily and Acne Prone Skin - this is a great and easy recipe for a toner for oily and acne prone skin. It uses a witch hazel base, and has essential oils added for their antibacterial properties.

Avocado and Clay Natural Facial Mask - a recipe for a great moisturizing facial mask using avocado and honey, for dry skin. For oily skin, the addition of natural clay helps absorb excess sebum.

Make your bathroom into a Home Spa!

Herbal bath oil- a great, easy recipe for massage oil, as a skin softening bath additive, facial precleanse or scalp massage oil. It can be whatever you want it to be!

Oatmeal Bath Recipe - a soothing bath for dry skin or itchiness associated with psoriasis, eczema, insect bites or any other inflammation. Add your favorite essential oils, or powdered milk for more skin softening.

Bath Bombs Recipe - a delicious treat of fizzy, fragrant yum! With added benefit of skin softening ingredients. This is the way to relax at the end of a long day.

Hair Care

Natural soapwort shampoo - A great basic shampoo based on soapwort - a naturally sudsing herb with saponins. I've included a bunch of add-ins for hair growth and shine. (Don't let the "soapwort" scare you away - you can also just use a base of pure castille soap!)

Natural Dandruff treatment - an alternative to shampoos containing selenium sulfide, using apple cider vinegar as a prerinse for your hair. Dandruff-free in a week! (and it *really* worked for my husband.)

Vinegar Hair Rinse for Shinier Hair - few hair rinses with vinegar, beer or lemon to add shine and get rid of the last of your dulling shampoo or conditioner residues. Highly recommended if you have a leftover flat beer.
