DIY Cuticle Cream

Love this DIY recipe from Kym Douglas of the Hallmark Channel!



Ingredients for All-Natural Cuticle Cream

1 Tablespoon beeswax pellets
2 Tablespoons Almond oil
1 drop lavender essential oil
2 containers, at least 2 oz



Directions

1. Put beeswax, almond oil, and essential oil into a glass bowl.

2. Melt these ingredients together over a double boiler. Alternatively, you can cook for about 1:30 in the microwave, taking the mixture out and stirring it every 10 seconds. Stop once it is fully melted.

3. When fully melted, pour into a clean container. I used some old chapstick applicators (and a small funnel) so I could roll it on easily. This recipe filled about 3 chapstick containers.

4. Let it cool and harden completely then roll it onto your cuticles daily!

DIY Makeup Remover Wipes

These makeup remover wipes sound wonderful.  

I love the idea of tweaking my own blend and having control of what ingredients go in there.

I found the oil Heather used at the Walmart website.

DIY Mimosa Sugar Scrub

If you love the benefits of fragrant sugar scrubs, but they are too expensive for your budget, make your own for a fraction of the price!

Although our skin cells shed every thirty days for new ones, sugar scrubs give the process a boost for faster results.  Sugar cane contains a naturally occurring AHA, a glycolic acid which will clear away dead skin cells, rejuvenating the skin to achieve healthy skin.

Sugar is not a magical ingredient that is hard to find . . . you probably have some in your kitchen pantry along with a few more ingredients, you are on your way to making your very own customized fragrant sugar scrub.
