The cosmetic industry sells millions of products each year. Most products are made from ingredients with many preservatives and chemicals in them. They are tested on lab animals. They are unhealthy for us. Yet we continue to put them on our bodies. The packaging is helping to overflow our landfills and hurt the environment. Homemade beauty products are a solution to this problem. They are easy to create, use ingredients that are not as harsh and do not harm the planet.

Treating acne is an important task for any woman. Making a homemade acne facial mask is a way to help control the issue. A yogurt honey mask is a good way to exfoliate the skin and leave it cool and fresh. Combine one tablespoon non fat yogurt and one teaspoon honey. Add one teaspoon lime juice to this concoction. Mix together and apply to your face. Sit and relax and let the mixture stay on your face for approximately a quarter hour. Rinse off with a washcloth that is warm not hot.

There are many beauty cosmetics that can be homemade. For example, if a woman would like to make her own lip gloss it is not difficult to do. Take one quarter of a cup of castor oil and bees wax, add two tablespoons of sesame oil and a dash of beet juice.

Chances are most of the ingredients are in your home already. Using these types of cosmetics and skin masks are a way to improve your look without breaking the bank.
