Your face is one of the parts that makes "you". Shouldn't we treat it with extra special love and care?
Lots of store bought skin products contain harmful chemicals, hormones, and loads of toxins, not exactly something I would want on my face!
It's always best to go with organic items, but those can be pricey and my even have things in them that you can't even pronounce. I like it when I know and can pronounce all the ingredients in my facial products :) That's where DIYs come in!

When you use plant based products, the plants already carry antibacterial properties, pretty amazing right?
