Free Online Kitchen Cosmetics
The Next Eco Fair has been cancelled due to the current situation, so Friends of the Earth decided to go on a Virtual Eco Fair. It will start tomorrow ! And I am proud to say that I will be part of it ! I offer a Kitchen Cosmetics session, making Body scrub, Facial Scrub and Facial Mask.
This facial scrub could be a part of a daily routine: facial scrub, facial mask and cleanser lotion.
It would be a perfect face exfoliation. This natural scrub helps rid the epidermis of dead cells. It is soft and suitable for dry and sensitive skin.
Almond powder : cleansing
Cleansing: used in the form of a paste in your preparations in association with other natural ingredients, this powder allows a gentle cleansing of the skin and without surfactant.
Very gentle exfoliation, it eliminates dead cells without irritating sensitive skin.
Softening, this oily powder leaves a light, very soft film on the skin
Nutritious, almond powder is rich in lipids and vitamin E, which will nourish the epidermis.
Alternatives possible : sugar white or brown but really much corrosive
Vegetable oil : nourishing
Vegetal oil will facilitate application and also nourish the skin. In this natural beauty product recipe, the best formulation would be to choose sweet almond oil but if you don’t have, we can choose olive oil, you can also choose macadamia nut oil, sesame oil, and out of your kitchen : sweet almond oil, argan oil. Lots of formulations are possible ! Choose the one you have and you enjoy the smell. The scrub has to be really very pleasant.
Yogurt : antibacterial
It can be cow milk yogurt, or soya yogurt or a Greek yogurt for its texture. It contains zinc which help skin against acne and oily skin. Yogurt is antibacterial, probably because of the lactic acid content. It also contains lactic acid, which will trigger the elimination of dead skin trapped in the pores. A mask that contains yogurt promotes hydration, elasticity and brightening of the complexion.
