Many people choose to make their own skin care products, so how to make skin care products?

How to make pure natural hydrosol

First, prepare a relatively large enamel kettle, and then prepare a long plastic tube to plug the spout of the kettle (I seem to have seen a netizen use a pressure cooker to steam dew before, the principle is similar). Put the flowers to be distilled into the pot and add a certain amount of water to the pot, preferably enough to cover the flowers. Place the kettle on the stove, and place a low table or stool next to the stove that is no higher than half the height of the stove, and place a bowl of ice on the table. Then put a glass bottle on the floor next to the table, bend the plastic water pipe so that the bent part is just immersed in the ice, and then stick the other end of the water pipe to the glass bottle on the floor (this glass bottle is used to collect the pure dew).

Heat the kettle until the water boils, then reduce the heat and allow the water to simmer for a while. Be careful not to wait until the water is burned out before turning off the fire. Turn off the fire when you think the water is almost burned out.

This is a simple distillation setup and procedure. When the water boils, the steam that comes out of the spout contains essential oil molecules. It cools down when passing through ice cubes. Finally, the drops of liquid collected in the kettle on the ground contain a mixture of essential oil particles and water molecules. After completing this process, the essential oil will float to the top of the liquid in the kettle, and the pure dew will be below.

This is suitable for distillation when there are not many flowers and plants at home. Ice cubes in the bowl can be added at any time to ensure the temperature of the distillation.

Homemade all-natural lotion

Step 1: Prepare tools and materials

First, an empty glass jar or sealed bottle containing lotion.

Then there is the relatively pure aloe vera gel, which is the most basic raw material and is necessary for making this homemade lotion.

The third is essential oils, which can be mixed according to your own situation. Here are a few recommended ones: lavender essential oil controls oil and moisturizes, balances oil secretion, and has anti-inflammatory and acne effects; frankincense essential oil purifies and calms the skin and prevents allergies; palm grass essential oil is a holy product for moisturizing; patchouli essential oil can effectively tighten the skin.

The fourth is rose hydrosol and mineral water.

Step 2: Production process

Squeeze an appropriate amount of pure aloe vera gel into a glass jar or sealed bottle; then add a few drops of essential oil suitable for your skin type and mix it evenly to form a thick milky white translucent paste. The lotion at this time is still relatively viscous and may not be easy to absorb; add a little rose water and mineral water, and stir evenly until it becomes thinner.

Step 3: Trial Results

Before adding rose water and mineral water, it was quite viscous and a little poorly absorbed; then when I tried applying it on the skin, it was absorbed very well and the skin was dry and not tight. Pure natural and economical.

Step 4: Notes

Don't use too much essential oil, one to two drops of each will be enough, and make the appropriate proportion according to your own situation. I have oily to slightly dry skin, so I can make this homemade lotion by changing the formula of the essential oils according to my needs.
