What ingredients do I need to prepare my homemade cosmetics?

This might surprise you, but to make your DIY recipes from natural cosmetics, all you have to do is open your fridge and your cupboards.

• Honey : honey is widely used in medicine and cosmetics. It is often used in the treatment of skin lesions and acne because it has antibacterial properties. It accelerates the healing of wounds. Honey perfectly moisturizes and soothes skin irritations, which is why it is an excellent ingredient in homemade cosmetics.
• Egg : an egg is a rich source of lecithin, which prevents hair loss. It also contains proteins which hydrate, strengthen and add volume to your hair. Folic acid, iron and phosphorus alleviate the symptoms of dandruff. The yolk acts as a natural emulsifier, effectively binding the added ingredients. An egg-based hair mask will therefore have a smooth texture, easy to apply and pleasant to the touch. So think about taking organic eggs!
• Banana : bananas are tropical fruits that contain antioxidants, vitamins A, B, C, E, as well as potassium, zinc, manganese and iron. It strongly nourishes and hydrates the skin, provides it with the nutrients necessary to maintain its perfect condition. Ideal for the care of oily, dry, mature, sensitive or acneic skin.
• Coffee grounds : coffee, when used on the skin or hair, has an excellent impact on their condition. Caffeine stimulates hair growth, reduces cellulite, smoothes and firms the skin. It has beneficial properties for the appearance and health of the face, body and hair. It oxygenates our skin, prevents the appearance of wrinkles, slims and reduces hair loss.
• Yogurt : yogurt is ideal for skin and hair care. Natural yogurt contains zinc, calcium, lactic acid and B vitamins. Zinc regulates sebum production, soothes inflammation and acne. Calcium protects the skin from dryness and dehydration. Vitamin B refreshes, hydrates and regenerates the skin. It especially protects cells against free radicals. Lactic acid not only improves hydration, but also has anti-wrinkle properties.
