Can't tell you what I kick I get out of making skin care:
Those three iron nails (in the background) are 125 years old. When we did the third-floor reno, we found them in the walls. - Neroli eye balm. This stuff is NICE. (Neroli hydrosol, apricot kernel oil, rosehip seed oil, emulsifing wax, vitamin E oil, carrot seed EO, lavender EO, ylang ylang EO, Germall Plus preservative)
- Grapefruit/Rosewood body oil
- Face Serum A
It's so easy to give this stuff away!
I now make my own body oil, eye balm, face serum, hand cream, lip balm, arnica salve and calendula salve.
How much would I spend on that if I bought it? Just so happens I can tell you:
- Body Oil (Weleda) - $25
- Eye balm (L'Occitane) - $70
- Face Serum (various) - @$70
- Hand Cream (various) - $20
- Lip Balm (Korres) - $15
- Arnica Salve (Thompson's) - $15
- Calendula Salve (Thompson's) - $15
Costs a fraction of this to make your own product and it's fun!
