The beginnings!

I have over the last year loved learning about how to make your own style cheap but also natural. Who wants to put tons of chemicals on your face and hair if it can be avoided and maybe even cheaper?! coming up on the Christmas season, I want to look my best for all those picture to come.
My first product is makeup remover. It can get expensive and so here is an easy way to remove and hydrate your skin at the same time.

Ingredients:
  • witch hazel
  • olive oil
These two simple ingredients make a wonderful eye makeup remover. In a small container fill it 3/4 of the way full with witch-hazel. Despite the name, witch-hazel is quite harmless and can be easily found at any health food store. Then put about 3-4 Tablespoons of olive oil in the container.
For use shake well before applying with a cotton ball. The Olive oil will help remove the oil residue on your skin and leave it with healthy oils. "likes remove likes" The witch-hazel works as a toner and cleanser.

I also use witch-hazel as a toner.
Ingredients
  • witch-hazel
  • tea tree oil
  • lavender oil 
The witch-hazel is the toner, this helps in clarifying your skin. The tea tree oil is used as a cleanser, like for acne or any blemishes. Tea tree oil is amazing. I will do a blog post about it later. The lavender oil helps to stop any irritation or redness that might occur. Lavender is known for its soothing qualities.
