According to organic gardener, Tanya Anderson, a host of plants can be used to aid beauty and wellbeing.
Here, we share three plant-based products you can make at home:
Lavender herbal oil
Fill a jar halfway with dried lavender and add a light carrier oil like grapeseed. Leave for 2 – 6 weeks in a warm spot out of direct sunlight, then simply strain through a sieve. The finished product can be used to make massage oils, salves, lotions and skin cleansers.
Rose petal facial mist
Make a glycerite from vegetable glycerin and distilled water, then add that to a rose tea infusion, made by putting rose petals in scalding hot water.
An expert offers a guide to making bath bombs, spritzes and soaps from common garden plants. Want to create your own bath fizzers, soaps and other skincare favourites with botanicals from your own garden? If you grow roses, chamomile, lavender and other common plants, you can use them in your regular skincare routines, says organic gardener Tanya Anderson, founder of Lovely Greens (lovelygreens.com) and author of A Woman s Garden: Grow Beautiful Plants And Make Useful Things, a guide to how you can use your garden plants to aid wellbeing. We tend to think of botanicals as plant extracts that come pre-packaged, but the truth is that you can transform chamomile, roses, lavender, and even more exotic plants, into high-end skincare in the average kitchen, she insists.
