I love all of these ideas! Thank you so much for sharing my lotion bars Angie! I missed seeing you at SNAP!
What a great list! So many to try! Thanks for including my Lavender Vanilla Sugar Scrub! Have a wonderful week!
Hello, Thank you for sharing these recipes. Could you advise how long they can stay fresh for or how long they will last in the fridge etc please?
I would use most of them within 2 weeks.
Is there any way to make them last longer
Sorry. Handmade beauty products are all natural with no preservatives. You can make them last a little longer by storing in the refrigerator.
