How to Make Homemade Facials

Making your own home made facials is easy

And you can be sure they don't have any weird chemicals or harmful ingredients that may dry your skin or worse. Even though these homemade facials are created from natural ingredients, you should still use them sparingly - every other day or only once a week, as needed.

You can add almost any kind of essential oil to any of these homemade facial recipes. Just a few drops! Even if you have oily skin, an essential oil can still be helpful and healing. Buy some Vitamin E capsules and add a few drops of Vitamin E oil to each treatment for an extra healing boost.

The best skincare recipes are made from ingredients you have available right in your kitchen, so get out a couple of glass bowls and a wooden spoon, and get mixing!

Supplies You May Need

When it comes to suppliers, Mountain Rose Herbs is one of the leading online stores supplying 100% pure steam distilled plant oils with unsurpassed fragrances and oustanding depth, and importantly they are all therapeutic grade oils from reputable distillers.

They have a great selection of basic ingredients such as butters, wax and carrier oils, as well as any essential oils you might need. There are lots of other suppliers out there whose quality is similar to Mountain Rose but we havent found one thats beter value for money.
