Simple Safety Homemade beauty products are the treatments of choice for people with sensitive skin, because they're free of the artificial dyes, fragrances and preservatives that can sometimes cause irritation. And since you control exactly what goes into your treatments, you can be sure that only fresh, organic ingredients and pure, distilled water touch your hair and skin. Those with food allergies need to be extra cautious, though. Never include an ingredient that might trigger an allergic reaction. Choose a different recipe or substitute an ingredient you're not sensitive to. (If you're allergic to peanuts, for example, use olive oil in place of peanut oil.) And when you're giving homemade beauty treatments as presents, always list each ingredient you've used on the jar's label. |
