Basics of making homemade cosmetics
It's easy to create an anti-wrinkle eye cream, scrub or mask at home.In this matter, the preparation process is of great importance:
- You cannot use a kitchen blender, mixer or any metal utensil.This is explained by the property of iron to oxidize, which is why it is a home remedy against wrinkles.Wooden spatulas, spoons, heat-resistant glass, enameled dishes are what you need.
- Ready-made cosmetic preparations must be stored exclusively in glass containers, tightly closed (screw).
- To accurately determine the required amount of ingredients, you will definitely need a measuring cup, a syringe, a pipette and an electronic scale.
- The containers of the anti-wrinkle product prepared around the mouth and eyes must be sterile.
- Long-term storage of such cosmetics is not allowed, maximum 14 days.It is therefore not recommended to prepare large quantities of cream;15-20 ml of product will be sufficient.
- Expired or questionable ingredients should not be used.This is not safe for your health!
