The use of natural ingredients for daily skin care is an admirable task. While it may seem easy to cultivate ingredients in your own backyard, the selection of the right materials for certain types of recipes can sometimes be difficult. For one, it may not be as effective as you think compared to what professional skin care products can do. Secondly, the quality of ingredients may also affect the effectiveness of your natural skin care recipe.

To help you on choosing the right ingredients for your recipe, here are some tips and tricks you could do to make the procedure easier and more convenient.


Tip # 1: Do your research. An important aspect of any natural skin care recipe is research. Without the proper research on the effects of certain herbs and spices among other natural ingredients, the desired effect of your natural skin care lotions or cosmetic creams won’t become a reality. Make sure to calculate the effectiveness of your homemade beauty products and compare it to professional skin care products.

Tip # 2: Tend your garden. For individuals who cultivate their own products in their backyard, it is best to always tend your garden and take care of your plants. This is to ensure the quality of materials you will be using to create your natural skin care products. Remember to always water the plants and weed out unwanted plants that leech out nutrients from your garden.

Tip # 3: Clean containers. Before starting off on your recipe, make sure that all containers you will be using in creating your homemade beauty products are all clean and sanitized. This is to avoid bacterial infection and/or contamination once the ingredients come in contact with the containers. Unsanitized containers can contain germs and other foreign substances that may harm the skin. Inappropriately created homemade beauty products can even sometimes result in pimple breakouts among other skin problems.

Tip # 4: Mix it with professional skin care products. It wouldn’t hurt to experiment with your recipes, and it surely wouldn’t hurt to mix it with professional skin care products that have been tried and tested in terms of its effectiveness. Some homemade skin care lotions can make use of regular moisturizing lotions added with essential oils to add extra effectiveness among other intended effects.

Tip # 5: Do a patch test first. In order to avoid allergic reactions to your untested recipes, it is important to always do a patch test first before applying it to your skin. A patch test basically involves applying a small amount of the product to hidden patches of your skin such as the back or just below the armpits. This will allow you to observe the effects of your homemade cosmetic creams to your skin. Conducting a patch test is also an ideal method if you have sensitive skin as most people with this skin type tend to develop adverse allergic reactions to foreign substances. If the patch test shows some positive results, gradually increase dosage to help your skin cope with the mixture of new natural ingredients.
