You could say, paraphrasing a well-known proverb, that natural cosmetics are good because… they are cheap and good! And this is actually one of their greatest advantages. In addition, homemade natural cosmetics can be prepared in a completely natural way, knowing what ingredients are used and in what quantities. These are also cosmetics that do not cause allergies – we choose the ingredients ourselves, so we have a real impact on the final effect of our work. What other advantages do home cosmetics have and where to start your adventure with them?
The biggest advantages of natural and home cosmetics. Why is it worth getting to know them?
- First of all, homemade cosmetics and natural cosmetics are not usually tested on animals. This means that we have an influence on what intermediates we use to create our natural cosmetics (of course, some of them can be tested on animals, and we have to check it ourselves!).
- The second biggest advantage, already mentioned above, is the anti-allergic nature of natural cosmetics produced at home from pure ingredients and semi-finished products. They can be used by people with atopic dermatitis, allergic problems or skin with acne.
- The third advantage of using and producing your own cosmetics is simply certainty as to their composition and origin. Thanks to this, you do not need to carefully analyze the composition of cosmetics, which is usually given in a typically chemical form, with names that need to be translated from “Polish to ours”. Therefore, natural cosmetics are, above all, proven and reliable cosmetics.
Good tips for making your own cosmetics:
- It is worth using in the production of home and natural cosmetics proven dietary supplements available in pharmacies, i.e. all kinds of vitamins and micro- and macroelements. This is the easiest way to add great healing and soothing, but also rejuvenating properties to your cosmetics.
- It is worth starting your adventure with natural and home cosmetics from the simplest ones, e.g. those used for moisturizing or removing makeup.
- It is worth using only proven pharmacies and drugstores, where you can buy additional ingredients for the production of natural and home cosmetics. In this way, you can be sure about the safety and quality of the semi-finished products used.
- It is very important to carefully check how the intermediates to be joined will behave towards each other. This is important even in the case of ordinary vitamins or other micro- and macroelements. Some counteract their own effects, some enhance the body’s intake of others, and so on. This is one of the most important points to remember when creating your own and natural cosmetics, if you use more intermediates.
