Natural Skin & Body Care Making
6 Week Course
Learn how to craft nourishing and natural daily skin and body care for yourself and loved ones.
I am so thrilled to share this 6 week course with you!
​
Crafting our own herbal skin and body care is one of the core ways I interact and work with herbs and natural oils daily.
When we craft our own skin care and products we use daily such as face serums, cleansers, body wash, toothpaste, we know exactly what’s in them.
It’s not only such a joy to craft these natural products , but we can be sure about every single ingredient within it, bringing us comfort, deep love and nourishment not only to our body but to our mind too.​
In these 6 weeks, I will share every single thing I know and love about crafting our own skin and self-care for facial and body care.
Expect to never have to routinely buy any shop-bought face serum, body cream, toothpaste, deodorant , lip balm or body wash again. Just because you know exactly how to craft a deeply nourishing one yourself!​
In this course, I share every step of crafting a wonderful face or body care creation, from the very beginning stage of how to select herbs for your skin type or purpose, to methods of infusing and crafting it, to then bottling and labelling it.
It also brings me so much joy to share this a 1-2 months before Christmas, because these recipes make the best gifts!
We meet online on Saturday Mornings from 10-11:30am.
Our sessions are held on 18th Oct, 25th Oct, 1st Nov, 8th Nov, then a break on 15th Nov for you to test recipes out and come with questions before we have our last meeting on 22nd Nov.
All classes are recorded and will be emailed to you on the same day.
​
All classes come with detailed herbal information and recipe booklets for you to download and/or print out.
I look forward to seeing you there!
