Cosmetic Beauty Products
You may not have your cosmetic products on you, if you are living off the grid. No problem! Commercial beauty products are ridiculously priced and packed with harmful chemicals that can irritate your skin and body. Plus, looking good and feeling good in your own skin should not have to cost you a fortune.
Here are some basic beauty products that you can organically make while living off the grid:
Body Scrub
The principle behind formulating a body scrub is to add ingredients that will either physically or chemically exfoliate your skin and get rid of dead skin cells. Add brown sugar to an oil of your liking such as coconut, olive, grapeseed, or almond oil. You could also choose an essential oil! The sugar particle’s rough edges will cause micro tears in your skin to allow new cells to emerge. Meanwhile, the oil will add a hydrating element to your shower.
Avoid using body scrubs on your face. They may be too abrasive if your skin is sensitive.
Lip Gloss
To make lip gloss, you need to use ingredients which have a prominent color that sticks to skin for long hours. Ever got the red tinge of beetroots or food coloring on your hands without any way to get rid of it? Bingo! That’s what we will be doing. Mix together a quarter cup of beeswax and coconut oil. Next, add your dying agent which will be responsible for tinting your lips with color. It is recommended to use a food coloring of your choice. Next, let your mixture cool in a long slim container (like the plastic holder of lip gloss) by keeping it in a refrigerator.
Pro-tip: Looking to shake things up? Add glitter or tiny sequins if you are looking for something special!
Eye Shadow
Eye shadow is a powerful tool in your makeup kit which can help you make a bold statement without trying too hard. Mix together mica power (or mica flakes) with a dying agent such as food coloring. You can use carrot juice, ground turmeric, spinach powder, or coffee powder for a vast array of colors if you do not have food coloring available. Next, blend them together and take the mixture out in a bowl. If you have access to powder binder, you will want to add that to your DIY eye shadow. Add a pop of color to your off-grid lifestyle with DIY eye shadows!
Note: Be careful not to apply your eye shadow inside your eyes. Doing so can cause irritation and getting it off will be a hassle.
