It’s easy to forget about, but our skin is a beautiful organ (our biggest one to be specific) that we should treat with the same respect as we do our insides. Taking a good look at what you use on your skin is a good idea as what we put on our body, goes in our body. Feeding your skin natural and nourishing products can greatly support your overall health and to be honest, it just feels so good!
I love these simple and delicious DYI recipes, made from ingredients you’ll find in your kitchen pantry and pure and potent Essential Oils.
These would make amazing DYI Christmas gifts as well!
