|
Do you have someone on your gift-giving list that LOVES to make handmade skin care products for themselves or others?
Or maybe someone that has been switching to ‘all things natural’ and skin care is one category they haven’t yet tackled?
This list of all-natural ideas and resources will be HIT for the beginner and seasoned natural skin care maker alike (and bonus, these are gifts they can ALWAYS use more of, so no worries if someone had the same brilliant idea as you)!
The base of most natural skincare recipes are called carrier oils (aka lipid oils or vegetable oils). These are used to make facial serums, roll-on blends, balms, salves, and more.
While you can find a list of the top seven carrier oils for skincare recipes here, I recommend starting with the following three to gift as a starter set:
Every natural skin care maker needs a set of essential oils, and this set of three features the most-used organic oils for endless blending possibilities for the beginner.
Peppermint, lemon, and lavender essential oils are basic in any skincare routine, and a perk is that they are useful in all-natural DIY cleaning products as well!
If the person you are gifting is new to essential oils, make sure they understand that they MUST be diluted before use on skin, furniture, or fabric.
Pair this essential oil set with the Natural Skin Care Recipe Book for expert instruction on how to safely use.
Have a maker on your hands who already knows a thing or two about essential oils? A set of 14 pure essential oils from Plant Therapy is the perfect gift for any handmade skincare enthusiast!
With a wide variety of scents and benefits, it offers endless possibilities for creating custom, all-natural skincare products. Plus, Plant Therapy’s high-quality oils ensure every blend is safe and effective (when diluted properly).
As mentioned above, pair this oil set with the Natural Skin Care Recipe Book for expert formulations that use essential oils safely and correctly.
