DIY Rose Water

Hey guys, I’m back with another great beauty DIY! This DIY Rose Water has so many benefits that you can easily add to your daily beauty regimen, and the best part – it can be made in less than 10 minutes! I use dried rose petals for this, but you can substitute with fresh rose petals. It’s a lot more cost efficient to buy the dried rose petals!

I use this rose water for a variety of things. I add a couple of drops to my conditioner and let that sit for a few minutes before rinsing it out. I add a few drops to witch hazel to use as a toner, I use this as a facial rinse after I wash my face with regular facial cleanser, I also add a few drops of rose water to my facial moisturizer.  You could even add this to a bath!

Contains Antioxidants
Has anti-inflammatory properties

DIY Essential Oil Perfume

Hey guys, I’m back with another quick and easy essential oil recipe idea! This DIY Essential Oil Perfume can be made in 2 minutes! All you need is 3 essential oils, witch hazel and some distilled water. The great thing about making your own perfume is you can control and adjust your scent to your liking, it’s a lot cheaper than buying a store bought perfume and no one else will be wearing the same scent! It may seem a little expensive to get started with buying essential oils, but you get about 250 drops to a 15mL bottle, so it’s well worth it and there are so many different things you can do with oils.

Homemade Peppermint Lotion Bars

Countdown to Christmas Day 15

Hey guys, I’m back with another great homemade beauty product! These Homemade Peppermint Lotion Bars are the perfect cold weather gift! Everyday from December 1st to Christmas day, I will be showing you all Christmas crafts, offering a free printable or a favorite Christmas recipe! Make sure to check back everyday for those posts, or better yet-sign up for my emails so you don’t miss anything!

With winter here, my skin gets so dry especially doing dishes constantly after 5 kids. I got tired of spending money on expensive hand creams that barely work so I decided to make my own. The added benefit to making your own beauty products is you know exactly what is in it and you know what you’re putting on your skin.

This is not lotion that can be pumped, lotion bars are just bars that you rub on dry skin. You could add water to make it less hard, but then you would have to add preservatives to keep it from growing bacteria. Water is what creates mold, so if you do want a lotion make sure you add preservatives to keep it from growing mold. I will be posting a lotion recipe soon with preservatives!

You could throw these peppermint lotion bars into a gift basket along with these homemade products: DIY Peppermint Bath Salts, Homemade Peppermint Lip Balm, and this: DIY Bath Melts.

These lotion bars requires about 30 minutes to make and you can make these to give out as gifts! Scroll to the bottom for some other great homemade beauty products.

You could also add food coloring to make them look more festive!

Homemade Gingerbread Lip Balm

Countdown to Christmas Day 11

 

Hey guys, I’m back with another great and cheap gift idea! This Homemade Peppermint Lip Balm is the perfect addition to a spa gift basket! This requires 5 minutes of your time and can be made in the microwave! You can scroll below for other DIY beauty products to add to your gift basket. Click here for the Gingerbread Lip Balm Printable.

I did make a DIY 2 Ingredient Lip Balm way back when, and I absolutely love that one, but I wanted something not as thick and creamy so I decided to make this one and I absolutely love it!!!! This Homemade Peppermint Lip Balm is super moisturizing and is perfect for the cold air! I sometimes also use this for my hands! I LOVE LOVE LOVE making my own products because I know what I’m putting on my body and it’s so fun and simple to do! Who doesn’t love receiving these as gifts?! I already did have all the supplies I needed to make these on hand, so it didn’t cost me anything to make. If you do need to buy all of these supplies, it’ll cost about $30. I know it does sound like a lot, but it will get you a long way with how little of the ingredients you actually need to make these lip balms. You will have more than enough to make the other products at the bottom of the page!
