Health and Beauty Products

If you like making your own products and embracing your inner beauty as much as we do. Making your natural beauty products is easy to do. I hope you enjoy the selection of books we've picked for you.

The books we've picked can help you learn about using essential oils and aromatherapy and how you can incorporate them in to the recipes you make for skin care or just adding to a diffuser. CBD and Hemp has also become a popular item in beauty care products (have you read our article on making your own pot salve?) It can be immensely helpful for skincare needs including acne, aging, and skin irritation.

Diffusers and essential oils are a great way to fill a room with natural fragrance. Diffusers come in many different sizes for large rooms to plug-ins. We also have plenty of recipes on our website for you to try.

Making your own homemade products can be good for the whole family. Once again, I hope you like the items we've selected for you.

If you are purchasing skin care products or essential oils for the first time, you can perform a patch test if so desired.

  • To do this, mix 2 drops essential oil to about 1/2 teaspoon carrier oil then apply to a patch of skin such as the forearm.
  • Observe that area over the next 1 to 2 hours for any noticeable reaction; this will usually occur within 5-10 minutes.
  • If you experience any irritation or discomfort either stop using or adjust the amount of essential oils you've used.
  • If you have not used a carrier oil before, you can also perform a patch test to the inner arm area.

Prior to using essential oils, always check the label for appropriate usage and do not apply essential oil to sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and mucous membranes. If you have a medical condition and/or you are taking medications, consult your physician prior to use.
