Homemade Beauty Recipes That Work, and Those That Don’t

Using nontoxic organic beauty products should be a no-brainer by now, as we all know that what you put on is as important as what you put in. Today you can effectively swap out any conventionally produced, toxin-laden products you may be using for a safer version that looks and acts just like its synthetic loaded counter-part.
Yet, many still opt for simpler skincare and go homemade. While this is an easy and cost-effective route, there are certain products that need to be created, manufactured and packaged by professionals to provide the results and safety we all want and need. Whipping up an exfoliant or cleanser is achievable and even fun. Hair products and makeup are a completely different ballgame.
