Unlock the secrets of radiant, healthy skin with The Handmade Spa: Natural Cosmetics. This comprehensive book, written by Sara Duménil, the founder of French skincare company Formule Beauté, is a treasure trove of inspiration for anyone looking to create their own customised beauty products.

Making your own natural beauty products is not only empowering but also ensures that you have control over what goes onto your skin. With this guide in hand, you'll learn the art of crafting 100%-natural beauty products that are tailored to your body:

  • Personalise the recipes according to your desires and your needs.

 

Featuring 20 carefully curated recipes, this book covers a wide range of beauty essentials that you commonly find in your bathroom. From facial cleansers, lotions, and moisturisers to body creams, scrubs and even personal hygiene products like toothpaste and deodorant, you'll have all the tools you need to glow up your natural beauty routine. The recipe preparation time is short, from 5 to 20 minutes depending on the recipe.

Recipes include:

  • My tailor-made micellar jelly
  • My custom moisturiser
  • Moisturising milk on the skin
  • 2-in-1 conditioner mask
  • Solid protein shampoo
  • Face & body cold cream.

You'll find essential guidance on selecting the right ingredients for your skin type and familiarising yourself with the steps involved in creating your own beauty products from home. Discover the benefits of using organically farmed ingredients and how they can enhance the effectiveness of your homemade creations. Learn about the necessary equipment, explore attractive, reusable containers for storing your creations, and gain insight into best practices for achieving optimal results.
