In the making...

I have been working on a new product for awhile. What is it?

FACIAL TONERS!

I've created a few before & sent some to Chickage, a friend/makeup/fashion enthusiast, to try out. But, I am currently working on the ingredients.

There will be two main ingredients I will be using: Melaleuca alternifolia and Eucalyptus globulus - also known as Tea Tree & Eucalyptus. Why these two ingredients?

Tea Tree is known to help skin heal by encouraging the formation of new scar tissue. It's also an excellent treatment for acne. One study shows tea tree oil to be as effective as benzoyl peroxide, but without th side effects like redness and peeling. If you happen to have Tea Tree Oil on hand, it can be great to treat minor wounds & prevent infection.

I'm known to always smell like or have pure Eucalyptus Oil on hand. Great alternative for (premenstrual) cramping if you don't have a heating pad available. Just rub it into your skin & it will slowly warm up your skin. Always avoid your eyes and lips! Eucalyptus is known to have a cleansing effect on the skin and reduces redness and irritation.

I can't wait to share with you the finished product!
