Understanding Herbal Skincare Benefits

Key benefits are: • Skin feels soft without harsh irritants. • Scars, blemishes, and cuts start to mend. • Natural antioxidants block free radicals. • Skin gets moisture from nature. • You hold the list of each ingredient.
Starting Simple in DIY Herbal Beauty
Before you work on a formula, note these tips:
- Pick fresh herbs. Use dried leaves or stems when you must. Use natural oils like jojoba, almond, or coconut oil. Use butters such as shea or cocoa when possible.
- Clean your tools. Work in a tidy space. Use clean jars to stop germs.
- Check for skin care. Try each new mix on a small area of skin.
- Keep things cool and dark. This helps the product to last up to 3 months.
- Change the mix. Work with herbs that suit your skin type.
