 | If you are looking to give unique gifts this holiday, maybe homemade beauty gifts are an option for you. These gifts are extra special because they will be made by you. The recipes are easy to follow and the person will be impressed with your beauty product making skills. |
| I have come up with four recipes that are all unique. The first recipe is an eye serum. The ingredients you will need for this recipe are, 1/8 cup of organic coconut oil, 1/8 cup sweet almond oil, and 1/2 tablespoon of pure vitamin e. Mix all together and you can put it in a plastic container with a lid, as shown in the picture. Apply the eye serum every night and make sure to shake it before each use, and it will smooth the skin, hydrate the skin, and help with wrinkles. Apply with a clean finger. You can place a gift tag on the plastic container with the directions on how to use the eye serum. |  |
| The next recipe is a homemade citrus scrub. These are the ingredients you will need, lemon essential oil 15 to 20 drops, 1/2 cup of sweet almond oil, or 1/2 cup of grape seed oil instead of the sweet almond oil, and 1/2 cup of white sugar. Mix all ingredients together and place in containers with a lid, and always remember to put a gift tag on the container explaining how to use the product you have made. This scrub can be used on your hands and your entire body; do not use on your face. It will exfoliate your skin leaving it smooth and smelling lemony fresh. You can use this scrub 1 or 2x a week. |  |
 | Now we will create a face toner that will moisturize deep clean, help with acne and wrinkles. The ingredients you will need are 4 spoonful’s of rose water, %100 pure geranium essential oil 5 drops, and 3 drops of vitamin e oil. Mix all together and place in a plastic container and they can just put some of the toner on a cotton ball, and rub all over face and neck. Then repeat again with a clean cotton ball. Also apply gently under the eyes. Repeat this every night before bed. Shake bottle before each use. |
| The last recipe is for a solid perfume. The ingredients are vanilla oil 50 drops, 50 drops of sandal wood essential oil. Also 4 table spoons of beeswax pellets and 4 tablespoons of sweet almond oil. Now melt the beeswax in a double boiler over low heat. Once melted add sweet almond oil. Remove from stove once wax and oil are blended well. The temperature should be warm, if too hot let cool before adding the essential oils. You can pour it into a tin, locket or anything you would want to have solid perfume in. |  |
I hope you love these recipes and that they will make great beauty gifts for family and friends. I will be back in the new year, with new recipes and product suggestions.
