I am trying to teach my children some of the basics about natural skin care. Along with this goes teaching them techniques for making our own products whenever possible.

The kids and I had fun this afternoon creating a batch of lip balm created with all natural ingredients. They were fascinated by the concoction of natural ingredients that we melted. After it was all melted and everyone had poured at least one thing into the sauce pan, we flavored it with natural almond flavoring and poured it into the lip balm tubes. Absolutely neat!

We now have a sizable supply of all natural lip balm that should last us a long time. Not only is it all natural, it was an economical process also. Lip balm…at least the good stuff…isn’t cheap!

Sounds like a fun “science experiment”. How about some picture of the finished product?!

I went to the site, cut did not see a recipe…can I ask where you got it, because this is the kind of thing I’d like to do with my kids too!

There are different brands of facial products. Clean and Clear is a really good brand. They have different types of washes for skin types: sensative skin, dry skin, and oily skin. They also have moisturizers for dry skin and it is oil-free. Along with those they have spot treatment.
