You absolutely do not need a long list of complicated ingredients or a complex formulation for softer, fresher, younger looking skin. You need the RIGHT ingredients.
The right ingredients are the nourishing, healing botanicals. Why do you think the the big cosmetic brands are now featuring them? They have finally figured it out.
It only takes a few of these beneficial botanicals to make a cleanser, a mask, a steam, a toner or a moisturizer. In the time it takes to go to the store to purchase expensive commercial products, you can easily make each product at home. An hour or so of kitchen fun will provide all your skincare needs for two to six months.
There are so many benefits to creating your own facial skincare you will wonder why you didn't start sooner.
Avoid unsafe chemicals and preservatives of commercial products
Taylor your skincare to your exact needs
Create gentle cleansers that don’t strip beneficial oils from the skin
Deeply nourish the skin for long-term benefits
Pay for the ingredients, not the 500% markup for marketing and packaging of commercial products
This course gives you the simple skills you need to easily create a complete daily and weekly facial regimen for ultimately healthy and vibrant skin.
Here’s what students have to say:
"I really loved this course. I did not realise making homemade skincare could be so straightforward, or the results so nourishing and beneficial. Beautifully and clearly presented, too.” – Katrina L
"I love this class. My hubby and I have both been using the lotion and some oil blends I made. I also steam when I remember. We are looking so much healthier. We've been using the homemade products for about two months. I love tailoring the lotions and cleansers to our needs. Some of my fine lines are going away. Thanks for putting this class together. ” – Pixie M
"I really liked this course. Elizabeth gave an excellent demo, not only how to mix the products, but what the different ingredients would do for you, how to protect your final product and great recommendation for other products. I have watched other "how-to" homemade skincare courses, this is really worth the time and money.” – Crystal
"As an older adult, I am looking for ways to save the skin. As a celiac I have to be careful with what I use. This class was actually very good. I wasn't sure I wanted recipes when I signed up. After already making the cleanser, my skin feels better. I am looking forward to making the other products now.” – Faith F
"Elizabeth shares a wealth of knowledge in this course, explaining beautifully and succinctly what ingredients to use for various skin types and WHY to use each individual ingredient. I really enjoyed the fun beauty tips as well. I've taken several courses by Elizabeth and I would highly recommend each and every course. ” – J.N. S
This course emphasizes healing botanicals
Botanicals offer profound nourishment inside and out. The cosmetic industry is catching on. Companies large and small are adopting plant-based formulations and revisiting botanical ingredients that have been used with great effectiveness for centuries. Yet what you pay at the counter largely covers the enormous costs for marketing, packaging, insurance, administration and retail overhead. Avoid the costs, preservatives and often unsafe chemicals by making your own skincare in lovingly wholesome small batches.
You will never find better skincare than what you make yourself. It is easier than you think.
The course offers:
Detailed simple recipes
Learning from a professional formulator of natural botanical skincare
Knowledge to create complete daily and weekly regimens of fabulous quality skincare
Easy step-by-step instructions to formulate for mature or dry skin types
Understanding of the most beneficial and effective ingredients for great beauty
You will learn detailed information about making, using and storing your skincare creations including:
Cleansers
Steam
Mask
Toner
Moisturizers
This course is packed with insights from years of experience. Make skincare that is fresher, far superior and above all, safe and healthy. You can tailor to your own specific mature, damaged or dry skin type needs.
More of what students have to say:
"I found here exactly what I'd been looking for. Working with easily available ingredients, home-made products that are fun to create and save me using store-bought cosmetics that may be expensive or contain harsh chemicals. The instructor is very nice and inspiring, and she explains and demonstrates everything clearly. I really appreciate that she says not only how to do things but also why to do them that way.” – Zdenka D
"Fantastic course. A lot of great information. I've been wanting to make my own skincare products for sometime and Elizabeth takes the guess work out of it and makes it look so much easier than I imagined. I can't wait to get started making my own recipes. Thank you for this great information. Highly recommended. ” – Cathleen A
"I love the way Elizabeth tells you the benefits of the item, then shows you how to make it, and then applies it to her own skin to show you how. She's very calming and knowledgeable. I love her courses. I learn so much and feel confident that I can make everything she shares with us.” – Jay C
