Final Thoughts

If you prefer all natural ingredients, these are great recipes you can do at home for pennies. DYI natural beauty products are just as effective as the store brands. Our skin absorbs 60% of what we put on our bodies. That’s a scary thought. When we get rid of toxins our skin will start to respond to the natural ingredients, helping with the signs of anti aging such as redness, wrinkles, fine lines and discoloration. You should start to see a difference within about 3 months. Let me know in the comments if you have used any of these. If you have any comments or questions I would love to hear them.
