DIY Skincare Workshops by Natural AF Australia

To my workshop guests and Merissa at the Paragon Theatre & Espresso Bar
Thank you for being so understanding this weekend when our skincare making workshop didn't go ahead as planned. It's a very difficult time for our family and we appreciate your compassion.
Details of the rescheduled workshop will be made available as soon as possible.
Again, thanks for your understanding during this time ❤️

Cinnamon powder, crushed dried flowers & herbs, oatmeal - these are all examples of natural micro-abrasives used to exfoliate the skin.

Finely powdered sea salt, raw sugar, almonds or coffee beans can also be used!

Not everything is suitable for the face, though. Some hard ingredients like salt and sugar which can have sharp edges on granules could cause micro-tears on sensitive areas of skin and are better suited to feet and body products.

Join me on 4 June 2022 for the first of four workshops where you'll learn how to create natural, safe and effective skincare products from scratch at home!

Essential oils are potent, concentrated botanical extracts which can deliver awesome benefits to the skin.

Essential oils offer amazing aromatic scents to products either alone or in blends, but they also have excellent skincare benefits when applied topically.

Some of our favourite essential oils are frankincense, peppermint, lavender, coffee and orange essential oils - each having its own profile of beneficial properties that help to improve skin health and appearance.

For example, frankincense can help reduce blemishes, improve skin tone and elasticity, and is a potent anti-inflammatory.

Peppermint can offer refreshing and uplifting benefits, and even cool sunburned skin.

Lavender is great for soothing irritation, promoting hydrating and relieving redness.

Coffee essential oil is excellent at promoting even skin tone, firming skin and improving the appearance of wrinkles.

Orange oil is amazing at relieving dry skin, repairing damaged skin and evening skin tone when redness and hyperpigmentation are concerns.

These benefits are just to name a few! If you research various essential oils you will see their benefits are broad and extensive.

At our workshops you will learn about safely incorporating essential oils in your formulas, dermal limits and which sensitizers are present - which is important to know to avoid damaging the skin when you're trying to repair or protect it!

What essential oils do you like? Let us know!

Hydrosols - otherwise known as floral waters - are created by distilling or infusing herbs or flowers into water, imparting their beautiful scents and their beneficial properties into your skincare products

Hydrosols can be created at home using your own fresh herbs or flowers, and infusing them into distilled water.

You can do this using a large pot with a metal handled lid and a medium sized bowl or beaker over a stove.

With the bowl inside the pot, place your herbs or flowers in the pot around the bowl, fill the pot with distilled water to cover the plant material but not high enough to leak into the centre bowl.

Turn the lid upside down and put it on top of the pot. Put some ice in a freezer bag and rest on top of the lid. Turn your stove onto low and let it heat for several hours while the botanically infused steam collects in your centre bowl.

This is your hydrosol! You can use this immediately to include in your skincare products!

If you're not planning to use your hydrosol immediately, it can be stored in the fridge in an airtight jar for up to one week, otherwise it will need to be preserved itself with a natural, water-soluble preservative like preservative eco/geogard ECT/plantaserv M.

In our workshop series, we will show you how to include hydrosols in your skincare products!
