\"beauty<\/a><\/p>\n

Bath products with tasty sounding names, and scents, were one of my favorite things to buy as a teenager. Now, with the discovery of toxins in some popular scented products and antibacterial soaps<\/a>, it may be a good time to steer your teens towards healthier bath and body alternatives. Safe cosmetics are something to fight for<\/a> and be aware of in our day to day lives.<\/p>\n

Teaching your teens early about the dangers of the chemicals they put on their bodies will only empower them to make the right choices when it comes to bath and beauty products. They can still get the young and yummy scents but in an all-natural and safe way. Here are three bath and body products in delicious summer scents that \u00a0your teens (or even you) will love to whip up!<\/p>\n

1. Mango Body Butter<\/h3>\n

Over on Bloom, Bake, and Create, learn how to whip up some decadent mango body butter<\/a>. This cream would be a perfect one to apply after a long day out in the sun right before bed. The oils and addition of Vitamin E will replenish your summer skin.<\/p>\n

2. Orange Jasmine Scrub<\/h3>\n

Orange and jasmine are a delightfully light and refreshing scent combination. Martha Stewart shows us how to make an enticing body scrub using these two essential oils as the scents.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0I love the use of beach sand as the exfoliant but you can easily sub the sand for sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, or even coffee. Test each one to see which gives you the perfect level of exfoliation without being too rough on your skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Customizable Soothing Body Spray<\/h3>\n

If you aren’t able to take a dip in the pool, it’s nice to have a portable solution to a quick summer cool down. This body spray recipe, from Pioneer Thinking, is the answer!<\/a>\u00a0Cucumber and witch hazel are cooling and invigorating and the great part about making your own beauty products at home is that you can customize them to your liking. Swap out the lemon essential oil for one of your favorites like grapefruit, lavender, or vanilla.<\/p>\n

Who needs all of the toxic ingredients in traditional beauty products when you can make your favorite scents and products at home? Do you like to make beauty products with your teens and pre-teens?
