Valentine’s Day Body Treatments
Making your own pampering products is such a fun and satisfying task, and not as complex as you might think.
For example, Strawberry Sugar Scrub is made with 5 ingredients – and I bet you probably have 2 of them (sugar and olive oil) in your pantry! The other ingredients are heart-shaped sprinkles, soap colorant, and fragrance oil.
The scrub is a lovely treat for yourself, or as a homemade gift for Valentine’s Day.
These Layered Hearts Valentines Soap Bars are such a cute DIY for Valentine’s Day. You can make these bars in just a few steps using melt-and-pour soap.
The homemade cosmetics listed below were not specifically made for Valentine’s Day but would be a great gift to make:
