DIY Pampering Essentials

We all need a little pampering every now and then, and what better way to boost our skin than with natural, nourishing ingredients at budget friendly prices.

Most of these ingredients are ones we already have in the kitchen or can be bought from local supermarkets or health food stores.

Make as much or as little as you need to avoid waste and save money!

*Just remember to be careful when using oils in the bath or shower as they can make surfaces slippery, and always test products first before using them.*
