On Saturday 11th I went to an organic skincare making workshop at NorthDown Orchard. We made a moisturiser, anti-aging cream, body butter, and 7 lip balms each. The whole process was mesmerising, and the organic farm was so beautiful. You get to create skincare products that cater to your skin type through the use of essential oils.
The Orchard was located down long country roads surrounded by fields of flowers. The little work stations for creating the skincare was in the upstairs of a barn, and as soon as you enter, you’re hit with the beautiful aromatic scents of essential oils. The workshop has a maximum of 6 people, which is perfect as its more private and you get to learn far more.
We created the moisturiser first which is made from only organic local oils, which makes it extremely good for the skin. The essential oils I chose for this product were; Neroli, Rose, and Clary Sage. These three are good for acne prone skin, scarred skin, and help reduce inflammation.
For the anti ageing cream, I went with; Frankincense, Lavender, and Lemon. The body butter was all lavender, and the lip balms were White Lotus (which smells like sugared doughnuts to me!).
I have used the products a few times now, and I am OBSESSED. The moisturiser and lip balm have to be my favourites!! The moisturiser instantly helped with redness and scarring, and the lip balm is so thick and moisturising.
p.s I now have a shop, so take a look here!
Have you ever made your own skincare products? Would you?
Such a wonderful day! I want to do it all over again 💓💓💓

It really was! Id do it again in a heartbeat! xx
I have never made skincare products myself, but I really want to do it, even though I’m not good at chemistry hahah. Such products are much better than those we can buy in shops because we know what ingredients we added. It’s really important for me.
