Top 6 Reasons to Use or DIY Natural Skin Care Products

Unlocking Radiant Skin: 6 Compelling Reasons to Embrace Natural Skin Care

Hey there, lovely readers! I'm Jen, a seasoned herbalist with 16 years of crafting organic remedies at JS&S. Today, I'm here to reveal the secrets of why you should make the switch to natural and organic skincare. Buckle up as we dive into the world of revitalized, glowing skin, naturally.

1. Soothe Your Skin: Nature's Healing Touch

Are you tired of your skin throwing tantrums and looking like it's in a constant state of rebellion? Say goodbye to those chemical-laden products that leave you feeling dry and irritated. Natural and organic skincare products are the soothing balm your skin craves. Think zinc oxide, tea tree oil, and lavender extract—gifts from Mother Nature herself, leaving your skin smooth and nourished, not sore and irritated.

2. Ancient Wisdom: Tried and True

"De Materia Medica" by Dioscorides is a pharmacopoeia of medicinal plants and the medicines that can be obtained from them. The five-volume work was written between 50 and 70 CE by Pedanius Dioscorides, a Greek physician in the Roman army. It was widely read for more than 1,500 years until supplanted by revised herbals in the Renaissance, making it one of the longest-lasting of all natural history and pharmacology books.

Natural and organic ingredients have been in the skincare game long before synthetic chemicals came along. Our ancestors, wise souls that they were, harnessed the power of these botanical wonders for centuries. The best part? No nasty side effects. These ingredients are the real deal, proven through the ages, unlike those synthetic impostors with their laundry list of side effects.

3. If You Wouldn't Eat It, Don't Wear It!

Our skin is a master absorber, like a sponge ready to soak up whatever we apply to it. If you wouldn't eat the ingredients in your skincare, why let your skin feast on them? It's time to be conscious not only about what goes into your body but also what goes on it. Flip those product labels and ask yourself, "Would I ingest this?" If the answer is no, it's time for a skincare makeover.

4. Quality Over Quantity: Saving Your Skin and Wallet

Here's the deal: quality natural and organic ingredients not only benefit your skin but also your bank account in the long run. Whether you whip up your potions or trust reliable sources, you'll save money. These top-notch ingredients mean you use less product each time, ensuring your skincare lasts longer. Unlike chemical-based products that require layers upon layers, leaving you with dry skin and a lighter wallet.

5. Eco-Friendly Beauty: A Gift to the Planet

Synthetic chemicals harm more than just your skin; they pose a grave threat to the environment. The production process behind traditional skincare products wreaks havoc on ecosystems, from pollution-heavy mining to toxic emissions. Natural skincare ingredients, on the other hand, are Earth's own gifts, leaving a gentler footprint. Let's protect our planet while we pamper our skin.

6. Cruelty-Free and Ethical: Beauty with Compassion

Let's talk ethics. It's shocking how many skincare giants still test their products on innocent animals. But the good news is that natural skincare artisans stand on the side of compassion. They champion cruelty-free practices, ensuring no harm comes to any living beings. Choosing natural skincare products means you're taking a stand against cruel testing methods and supporting a more empathetic beauty industry.

Ready to DIY? Here's Your Blueprint!

My journey started with my Master Herbalist certification, hours of online research, and delving into century-old botany books. Research is your friend, and trust me, it's worth every moment.

DIY Sugaring Paste Recipe: How to Make Natural Hair Removal Sugar Paste at Home

✨ How to Make Sugaring Paste at Home ✨

Sugaring paste is one of the oldest, all-natural hair removal methods in existence. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make it yourself—right from your own kitchen—you’re in the right place. As a master herbalist and organic skincare artisan, I’m sharing my tried-and-true recipe that you can trust. 💛

---

🌿 Ingredients

• 2 Cups Sugar – White, Cane, or Raw Sugar (see below for consistency differences)
• 18 tsp (3 oz) Lemon Juice – freshly squeezed preferred 🍋
• 6 tsp (1 oz) Purified Water – bottled/distilled is best

✨ Sugar Consistency Tips:

• White Sugar: Softest texture
• Cane Sugar: Medium consistency
• Raw Sugar: Firmest – ideal for coarser hair

🧪 What You’ll Need

• Heavy Bottomed Aluminum Saucepan (avoid Teflon!)
• Metal Whisk (avoid silicone whisks)
• Candy Thermometer – target: 250°F / Hard Ball Stage
• Heat-Safe Glass Containers – I prefer mason jars 🫙

🧑‍🍳 Step-by-Step Directions

1. Combine sugar, lemon juice, and water in the saucepan. Whisk to blend.
2. Clip thermometer to side. Make sure the sensor is in the liquid, not above it.
3. Turn burner to low–medium-low. Let it simmer slowly—patience is key.
4. Continue whisking gently. Don’t leave unattended!
5. The mixture will bubble and thicken. You’ll see it darken over time—watch for 250°F!
6. Once it hits 250°F (hard ball stage), remove from heat immediately.
7. Cool until pourable (~210°F). Carefully transfer to jars using a silicone spatula.
8. Store at room temperature and use as needed.
