How many times have we not thought about the amount of chemical components contained in the productos cosméticos What do we buy (at least mostly) and what can damage our skin? Are you one of those who, like me, has always wanted to make your own beauty products for save money or to customize them to your needs?
Well, if the answer is yes to both questions, perhaps this article from the Beauty category that we present today will interest you. In it I tell you how to make 3 beauty products yourself. You will save money and you will do super well now in this spring-summer time. Two are for the face and one is for the nails. If you want to know more about what they are, what they are about and how to do them, keep reading below. We tell you everything!
Water of roses
Rose water is a product that we will use for the face as a invigorating to refresh in this hot season we are about to begin. It comes to be the same, or at least, to give the same utility as the typical ones oat waters that we usually find in the cosmetic and beauty market. While these have a price that can be around 3 euros to 12 perfectly (depending on the brand that markets it), making your own rose water will not cost you anything. If anything, what a small empty boat to apply in spray.
If you want to know how we make it, These are the followed:
- Put half a liter of water to heat in a saucepan.
- Add some rose petals (preferably red) to the water.
- Let it boil and stir every little time so that the petals release both their essence and their color.
- When the petals begin to lose color, remove from the heat and wait for it to cool down a bit.
- Strain the resulting solution, separating the liquid from the petals and fill as many spray cans as you have at home.
- Put it in the fridge and take it with you every time you leave the house.
This rose water it will refresh and tone your skin also providing that characteristic rose smell. It can also be a great idea to give to your friends.
Illuminator for the face
Areas of the face where we can apply the illuminator
If you don't have an illuminator but you do have one eye contour cream and an eyeshadow with some highlights silver or gold you can perfectly make your highlighter.
Highlighters, as their name suggests, serve to bring light to those areas of the face where we usually apply them and provide youth and vitality. It also visibly reduces signs of fatigue. These illuminators, depending on the brand, can go perfectly from 4 euros to 30 or 40 euros. So with just a glitter eyeshadow and an eye contour cream you can make your own. Add grated eyeshadow powder until you achieve the desired effect for your highlighter. Don't go too bright ... We don't want to look like LED light bulbs!
Nail polish remover with sponge
They came onto the market relatively recently and it was a 'boom ' in sales. They are these nail polish removers that come with a sponge inside, which just by putting your finger with the nail polish and rubbing it a bit for a couple of seconds, leaves the nail completely free of paint. Well, this type of nail polish remover usually costs a little more than 5 euros, while the usual conventional ones that we have to use with make-up removal discs cost about 2 euros.
What if I told you that with a plastic pot that you no longer use and want to recycle some of these soft dishwasher sponges, can you make your own nail polish remover with a sponge? It's as easy as introduce these cut sponges to the measure in the boat that we want to recycle and add that lifelong pot nail remover, impregnating these sponges well. Then, do the test if you want and you will see that the result obtained is the same or better than the one they sell you already made.
It is a good way to save a few euros… Don't you think?
If you add up the euros saved in each of these three products, almost certainly they will give you for more cosmetic products ... Promised!
