DIY Green Beauty Products

Did you know that most of your green beauty products can be made with ingredients that you already have right in your own kitchen. With everyone concerned with the enviroment more people are using healthy products on their bodies. These green beauty products do not have any preservatives like parabens, which damage your skin. Also the green beauty products are biodegradable.

If you don't have the ingredients already you can buy them. Some things you will need are waxes, butters, and cream bases. Other such ingredients may be fragrance oils or essential oils. Avocados, lemons, vanilla extract and olive oil, along with honey and crushed herbs will be other natural ingredients for your homemade beauty products.

You can make a nice mineral blush that will give you a rosy glow to your cheeks. With just two teaspoons of Bordeaux mica and one teaspoon of oriental beige mica and 1/2 teaspoon of splendid blue mica, you will make your own blush. Just by mixing all the ingredients in a small plastic bowl until the colors are well blended. A mini grinder will get rid of solid pieces of mica. Store your blush in a plastic container for future uses.

A nice green body scrub, that will moisturize and exfoliate, is made of two and a half cups of brown sugar, one half cup of sweet almond oil, and one tablespoon of Shea butter, add four tablespoons of honey, with two drops of bergamot essential oil, and one drop of neroli essential oil. Stir your sugar and almond oil first, stir it well. Add your Shea butter and honey and gently whip the mixture with a mixer until it forms a thick paste. You can store this in a glass jar for future use.

It is certainly easy to make great green products with some basic items around the house. If you'd like someone else to provide your natural products, there is a large quantity to choose from these days!
