Looking for cheap beauty product ideas

[Guest guest]

Hey all. Once again looking for some suggestions. I work at my local

alternative school, and we're getting ready to do an all girl's day

with our female students. We wanted to have them make some of their

own beauty products. But money is an issue (so making their own

bottles of lotion is out... *grr* they would have liked that one too).

Any suggestions for what I can use (especially scent wise) that won't

hurt the ole pockets too much. And my girls won't be too concerned

about the nature of the products (ie, organic, etc), only that it

smells good.

Maybe you'd want to try some kitchen cosmetics using ingredients like

oatmeal, yogurt, strawberries, mangos, cucumbers?

The challenge could be to use only things found in the market or drugstore,

and everyone could choose an ingredient to bring.

 

My favorite bath tea blend of all time is just equal parts oatmeal, powdered

milk, and lavender buds.

What type of preservative do you use in your sugar scrub? (Is it

vegetable gycerin, and how much of whatever it is you use??) A nice

air freshener can be an easy thing to make as well. I use a 2 oz.

spray bottle, (Walmart) and fill it with distilled water, and about

15 drops of your favorite essential oil. Shake well before each use,

and you're good to go! Anatolian Treasures has the

best prices for esssential oils, and they are a great quality!

what about bath bombs~ a little citric acid, baking soda, corn starch, a tad

of oil (any light oil will work) you can even use food coloring as a

colorant in a pinch, and fragrance~ and they're easy to make~ you could also

spritz them with witch hazel as they dry to make them nice an hard~ most or

all of that is grocery store items~

????????

you could in reality also do a sugar scrub~ (although I do like to use a

preservative in mine) but I do know people who do not and it seems to work

find~ or even better a salt scrub~ no preservative~ since salts help

preserve~ a little Vit -e oil and you're set~

Here's a simple scented bath powder recipe I know that uses ingredients

found at your local grocery store or CVS:

 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup corn starch

1/2 cup rice flour

5-6 drops of your favorite perfume or essential oil

 

 

Place corn starch and rice flour in resealable plastic bag. Add oil.

Seal and shake gently until well blended.

 

Apply powder with a shaker type container or puff.

 

Makes 8 oz.

 

Hope that helps.
