As far as DIY products: Face cleanser :Natural, ingredients from my pantry.
Dry skin: Light cream (1/2 tsp) +gram flour (Besan) 1 tsp+ turmeric powder 1/4 tsp. use as face wash at night as a bedtime routine. No soap as turmeric turns soap red!!
Oily Skin: skip the cream. rest is same. can use with aloe gel to get the gooey soapy feel.
(its important to keep this powder dry in an airtight container for multiple uses)
Hair: Just tried this and it feels awesome! gel from 2 aloe leaves from my plant +distilled water and blend. Add 1 tbsp virgin olive oil and apply as a pre poo. So--soft hair!!
Thanks!
peace and love

I tried Trader Joe's coconut oil in my hair as a pre-cowash treatment yesterday, and I'm loving how my hair looks and feels today! So soft and silky, and you can really see my 3a/b pattern: varying in size and tightness, from sidewalk-chalk to Sharpie-sized curls all over my head!

1 heaped tsp of plain unsweetened yogurt
1 flat tsp of uncooked oatmeal (crumbled a little more with your fingers)
Mix both ingredients and apply it on your face. Keep it on for 20-30 mins and wash off with warm water.
the recipe is simple: ground coffee (for face fine meal would be better ) + fav oil (I use olive) + fav essential oil for more scent (optional)
also, you can add some sea salt, sugar, vitamins (a or e), even cream. it's up to you

I use it in a flairosol fine mist spray bottle. Found this type of bottle sprays a super fine mist that doesnt disturb the curl. I bought mine off of Amazon.
Recipe:
2 tbsp of leave in
1 tsp of glycerin(only in low dew points during winter)
4 oz of rosewater
1/4 tsp of grapeseed oil
1/4 tsp avocado oil
Shake shake shake to mix everything then I fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water (4 to 6 oz) the shake again.
Its smells amazing cause of the rosewater and gives my hair some added moisture.
