Not only are homemade beauty supplies less expensive, they\u2019re better for you and for the planet. Try these DIY beauty recipes!<\/h2>\n

Conventional beauty products often contain harmful additives to increase lather or give the product a creamy texture. Ingredients like Sodium Lauryl\/Laureth Sulfate (SLS)<\/a><\/strong>, for example, are in pretty much every skin- and hair-care product. SLS is a known mutagen and skin irritant and is even a suspected carcinogen! Even many natural products contain some of the more toxic beauty industry chemicals<\/strong><\/a>. You can keep harsh chemicals off of your skin and out of the environment by making DIY beauty supplies at home!<\/p>\n

1. Instead of buying plastic razors or toxic hair removers, you might give sugaring a try<\/strong><\/a>! Sugaring is an inexpensive way to remove unwanted hair that isn\u2019t as painful as wax removal.<\/p>\n

2. You can exfoliate and moisturize with this home made sugar scrub<\/strong><\/a>. This recipe is fun because it\u2019s really flexible! You can experiment with different base oils and essential oils for all sorts of great-smelling outcomes! Check out the comments for a really festive alternative that you might want to crib for the holidays.<\/p>\n

3. Pioneer Thinking has a great, simple shampoo recipe<\/strong><\/a>. The post lists several variations on castile soap shampoos. \u00a0All you really need is castile soap and whatever oils you choose. \u00a0Castile soap is super inexpensive and a little goes a long way. \u00a0Experiment and see which combos work best for you.<\/p>\n

4. It\u2019s really easy to make your own perfume! Just mix around 40 drops of your favorite essential oil in a 2 ounce spray bottle full of rubbing alcohol. To turn this into a deodorant recipe, use oils that have antiseptic qualities, like tea tree or sage.<\/p>\n
