Here are some simple recipes that will help you with daily usage things and their preparation at home.

Obviously buying them from market is an easier option but ‘do-it-yourself’ gives you an option to add ingredients of your choice and remove the components, that you wouldn’t want to be there. Here are some simple recipes that will help you with daily usage things and their preparation at home.
HANDWASH :
Most of the liquid handwashes, consist of sodium lauryl sulfate, which is harmful for the skin on our body. You can make your own liquid hand-wash by following this simple recipe. Take an old liquid handwash dispenser and fill about one third of it with Castile soap. Add some drops of essential oils such as lavender or rosehip oil. Add around 5 drops of tea tree oil. And then, fill the rest of the dispenser with distilled water. Shake well.
AROMA CANDLES:
We all love candles of different shapes and sizes, but there are times when we are looking for a candle with some specific fragrance or of some specific shape and type. You can try making them at home, instead of searching for it in the markets. Just melt some wax and add some drops of your favorite essence. Pour this mixture in a mould. Take it out, when dry.
FACE WIPES:
Buy a pack of simple paper towels. Take a bowl, that is wide in diameter. Pour a glass of cold water. Add four tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil to the water. Now, add two tablespoons of organic baby wash. Pour two drops of lemon essence in the mixture. Dip all the tissues one by one in this liquid mixture, and store them in your refrigerator. Keep them in a plastic box and carry whenever you are going out.
BLUSH:
Take two tablespoons of beetroot powder. Add two tablespoons of hibiscus powder to it. Sprinkle about one fourth tablespoon of cinnamon powder and mix well. Store in a dry place. Use a big size brush to apply on cheeks.
