HOME MADE DEO: Which are the wonders of coconut oil?

I have thought about this one. A friend of mine suggested me to do my own deo at home. How could it be possible? She said it was very easy and so she described. The description is similar to this one: Ingredients 6 Tablespoons coconut oil 4 Tablespoons baking soda 4 Tablespoons arrowroot or cornstarch Essential oils (optional) I think as the next thing, I will try this coconut deodorant that is super easy. It does not contain any kind of unnatural stuff such as sls, paraben, silicone... so that is great news as well. It does not have many costs, that is great for the budget.  Have you ever tried to do your own? Does it function? Let me know.

Dear Readers, I am planning to prepare really well-written content in order to give you more information on the quality of the things that we are using... However, this will take time. Basically, I have slowed down my consumption slightly and it means that first of all, I need to finish the products that I have. One of the main reasons for this is that I have another job now and need to focus on it. The other reason is that I feel that I am spending too much on cosmetics and I am using too much plastic. Both of these habits need to change if I want to grow up as a person, not only as a woman.

Nothing beats the cucumber tonic that you make at home and that you

Here is how I have made my own exfoliator, mask and tonic.  The exfoliator (the brown one) has cacao, coffee, yoghurt, a bit of lemon, honey and a bit of sugar in it.  The mask (the yellow one) has yoghurt, the residues of a cucumber when I made the juice (I did not throw them away but used them for the mask), honey, Curcuma, a bit of lemon.   The tonic is basically the cucumber juice. If you want you can add a drop of lemon inside. If you think that would disrupt your skin, do not do that.  I have put them in the fridge, tried all of them one day after or after I had kept them in the fridge for a while. Especially the mask and the tonic are great to use! It is super hydrating for dry skin. The coffee exfoliator wakes you up in the morning! Moreover, it is without any preservatives, any conservatives... So that is the great part! And the colours are great, too!
