I like doing DYI projects. Stumbling on homemade beauty products is amazing. Making them are fun to do. They usually have items we already have in our home. Here are a few example:

What lead me in liking so much homemade beauty product? A few years ago, I was a bit out of control with my eczema. I visited regularly an dermatologist. He gave me various prescriptions for my skin. What I liked the most was his homemade lip balm prescription. I had to apply it twice a day and putting regular lip balm during the day. Because his homemade lip balm was so effective, I didn't have to go for the commercial one during the day. I had love it so much that I couldn't step back to buying lip balm only.
It is amazing, sometimes, how homemade products can be more effective than store bought ones. In many occasion, homemade is less expensive too. In addition, it is fun to do. Also there are more chance to use the product we make. I know I am a bit proud when I make it. There was a few occasion where it was the subject of small talk with some people. It also make me popular. I can give some gifts at a fraction of the price. I can put all in the packaging. Usually, I make soap to give. I do personalized ones with essential oils. For example, I have created a "healthy essential oils mix". It include a citrus essential oils, eucalyptus and a essential oil for the skin.
I like writing about mad scientists but sometimes, I feel a bit like one. One who is sane, anyway...
