Taking The Stress Out Of Gluten-Free Grain-Free & Dairy-Free Living
Homemade Toner & Fabulous Face Cream
I’m in body care product making mode.
This seems to be a great time of year to do it and typically when I run out of all my favorites.
Yesterday I made gluten free, dairy free, non-toxic, fantastic for you Facial Toner.
Love it.
If you look carefully, you can see the “Mother” floating around in there. The “Mother” is made up of very beneficial living enzymes. You need to make sure you buy the good vinegar that looks cloudy and is organic. “Regular” vinegar manufacturers filter all of the good stuff out so they can have a prettier product.
I also made my Fabulous Face Cream.
I don’t know about you, but I’m 46 and my skin needs all the moisturizing and healthy products it can get.
It’s been abused by my love for the sun, stress, and unfortunately Lyme Disease likes to take a toll in every area, even your skin.
These are such relaxing projects, I can’t even tell you. It’s so much fun! Smells fantastic of course. Doesn’t break the bank like department store $$$$ creams, doesn’t load your body up with chemicals and toxins, and you can share the healthy love with your friends and family as gifts for the holidays. It’s win-win.
Have fun!

I do love your creams! And yes, at this time of year, making your own is such a great idea as some can always be given away as gifts. Fantastic ingredients with no chemicals! xx

These recipes look great. I just made cocoa butter and peppermint whipped body butter and fizzy lavender bath bars for Christmas gifts this year and was surprised at how easy and fun they were to make!
