Basics of making homemade cosmetics
It’s easy to create a homemade anti-wrinkle cream around the eyes, a scrub or a mask.In this matter, the preparation process is of great importance:
- You cannot use a kitchen blender, mixer, or any metal utensils.This is explained by the property of iron to oxidize, which is why it is a home remedy for wrinkles.Wooden spatulas, spoons, heat-resistant glass, enamel dishes are what you need.
- Prepared cosmetic preparations should be stored exclusively in glass, tightly closed (screw-on) containers.
- To accurately determine the required amount of ingredients, you will definitely need a measuring spoon, syringe, pipette and electronic scales.
- Containers for the prepared anti-wrinkle product around the mouth and eyes must be sterile.
- Long-term storage of such cosmetics is not allowed, maximum 14 days.Therefore, it is not advisable to prepare a large volume of cream; 15-20 ml of the product will be enough.
- Expired or questionable ingredients must not be used.This is not safe for your health!
