Homemade Beauty Links I LOVE

June 11, 2008 by Jennifer  

It’s a crazy week, so instead of sharing some of my recipes, I’m going to share some of my favorite recipe links. Now, here’s the deal. I don’t always find organic body care recipe links. Do I make the item organic – why yes, and you can too. Almost any homemade beauty care recipe can be converted to organic easily. Also, if an item in a recipe doesn’t suit me, I’ll change it up.

Don’t forget to read Homemade Beauty Products – Safety 101 before you get started.

My fave links:

bodyglitter.jpgChannel your inner princess with homemade body glitter: I don’t do makeup, but I admit it; I am sort of into my sparkles from time to time. This would also make a wonderful gift for a child.

Homemade beeswax lip balm: Too many ads at this site, but a good recipe.

End of summer body scrub

A cool collection of lotion bars – I’ve altered many of them, but they give a great jumping off point, and some I like just how they are. These are nice because they’re non-messy.

Nice starter cleansing cream recipe: Alter with fruits, milks, or oils if you like.

Plus one random recipe I’ve never tried: Homemade Deodorant Recipe

    Hi Jennifer,

    brilliant article – thank you! I especially love the link to the lotion bars. I’ve been making my own things for a few years, but never made a lotion bar. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I’ve not use a ‘dry’ deodorant either; I mix up witch hazel, glycerine and my favourite essential oils for a spray that smells so lovely :) I’ve heard great things about the bicarbonate of soda route though.

    I absolutely love all the homemade beauty stuff you post at Tree Hugging Family. I’ve gotten a couple great recipes through here:)

    Thanks Mrs Green, lotion bars are pretty cool and it seems easy to alter them any which way you choose.

    Linette – good! I’m glad you’ve found some stuff to use. Now, are you going to make glitter!

    I just might, it’d be great for a little girls spa, or tea party:)
