First mix the coconut oil and Castile liquid soap. The coconut oil conditions the hair while Castile liquid soap does a good job cleaning it without damaging it. Then, add 1 tablespoon of vitamin E oil to preserve hair’s natural oil.
Step 1: Mix the coconut oil, Castile liquid soap and vitamin E oil. Add 1 tsp fenugreek powder, great for detangling hair. In this tutorial, fenugreek tablets were used and popped open to use the powder.
Step 2: Add 1 teaspoon of fenugreek powder.
And lastly, add about 20 drops of lavender essential oil and 10 drops of rosemary essential oil. They are both good for the scalp and helps your shampoo smell good. Get your container (any container will do) and pour the mixture into it. Then, give it a shake.
Step 3:Add the essential oils, pour it into a container and shake. You now have an all-natural shampoo that saves your hair from the harsh effects of the commercial ones. It is a lot cheaper and eco-friendly.
Scant 2 oz. jojoba oil (or use more if you have a bigger jar)
1 capsule of non-GMO vitamin E (Technically, this is optional but extremely recommended)
Optional: 3 drops of soothing essential oil (I use carrot seed essential oil)
Dark glass dropper bottle for storage.
Fill the glass jar about 3/4 of the way with the jojoba oil. Prick the vitamin E capsule with a needle or the tip of a sharp knife. Squeeze the contents of the capsule into the jar. Place the lid on the jar and shake well to combine.
When you are ready to remove your makeup, use about 1/2 teaspoon of your Makeup Remover. Gently massage it onto your face, especially the eye area. It removes mascara like a charm, just be sure you use enough to fully saturate the eye area. Then, gently wipe off the oil with a cotton pad or damp washcloth.
Jojoba oil isn’t an oil, it’s a a liquid wax ester made from expeller-pressed jojoba seeds. It is the closest thing in nature to our own sebum. It doesn’t clog pores and it works perfectly for all skin types.
Jojoba oil gently dissolves even stubborn makeup without irritating the skin or eyes. It soothes and moisturizes the skin. If you have oily skin, don’t be afraid to use skincare oils! Jojoba oil dissolves excess sebum, allowing the pores to breathe.
A powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin against damage and also protects the jojoba oil against oxidative damage. It soothes and moisturizes the skin. Make sure your vitamin E is GMO-free! These vitamin E capsules are perfect for this recipe and are GMO-free.
Because light can damage and oxidize (rancidify) the jojoba oil and vitamin E, do not store this in a clear glass jar. Keep in a dark glass dropper bottle. The dark glass prevents light from oxidizing the oils.
How to wash your face with honey
Use raw honey. If you want to splurge, try the potent manuka honey, which contains vastly higher levels of antibacterial properties to heal acne.
Remove your makeup first. Use honey cleansing in the morning (and evening, if you don’t wear makeup). Take about 1/2 teaspoon of the honey on your fingers. Warm it between your fingers. Add just a few drops of water if necessary to make a spreadable consistency. Smooth it gently on your face. Rinse off with warm water and pat your face dry. If you have time, you’ll get the best results by leaving the thin layer of honey on for at least 10 minutes before rinsing.
Finish with patting a toner on your face for best results. You can make your own by mixing 2 Tbs. raw apple cider vinegar with 1/2 cup of water or aloe vera and putting this in a jar or spray bottle.
Raw honey (also called unpasteurized honey) provides a gentle and affordable alternative to your facial cleanser. Honey gently removes dirt and impurities without stripping the skin of natural oils. Foaming cleansers and soaps frequently strip the skin of these protective oils and cause the skin to overproduce oil. The natural antibacterial and probiotic properties of raw honey effectively reduce breakouts and prevent new acne. Raw honey also contains natural enzymes which may refine the skins texture. Since it is so gentle and nurturing to the skin, it is ideal for very sensitive skin, rosacea, and eczema. It works well on all skin types. It balances oily skin and moisturizes dry skin. Unlike foaming cleansers, honey does not strip the skin of its protective sebum, which causes irritation and dryness. Additionally, foaming cleansers are usually too alkaline for the skin and imbalance the skins naturally acidic pH. As far as excellent facial cleansers go, it is much cheaper than store bought options. Although any raw honey works excellently, manuka honey boasts superior antibacterial and healing properties. It is recommended for acne-prone skin.
3 Tbsp Hibiscus Flowers – OR 2 Tbsp Hibiscus powder
1 Tbsp Arrowroot powder – get it here
5-10 drops essential oil (frankincense, tea tree and lavender)
Coffee grinder
Fine mesh sieve
Metal or glass storage container
Small bowl
Combine the hibiscus, arrowroot and essential oil into a clean coffee grinder. Process in intervals until the mixture is a fine powder. You can use lavender, tea tree, rose or whatever essential oil you prefer. This gives it a pleasant scent and nourishes skin, and helps the powder stick better. Run the powder through the sieve and into a bowl. If you’re container is large enough, just use that instead. This will weed out the largest pieces. Store in a lidded container and apply with a brush.
Tips for Best Results
To help the diy blush stick better to skin, apply a thin layer of sweet almond oil (or another skin safe oil like olive, jojoba, castor, avocado, etc.) to your cheeks. Allow the oil to soak in a bit and then apply the blush with a brush. Be sure to grind the hibiscus flowers with the arrowroot, not separately! This really combines the two and saturates the arrowroot with color.Hibiscus powder makes the process so much easier. You don’t need as much hibiscus herb if using the powder and it yields a smoother diy blush.
