In case of stressed hair - dry, brittle, dull or very fragile - vegetable oils are real cure-all when used as a pre-shampoo pack (see in-depth information on organic linseed oil and how to make a mask), but they are still more effective if used in synergy with each other.

To create ypur customized hair mask, the ingredients must have four fundamental characteristics to make your hair shine again: 1. be rich in essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid or linoleic acid present in large quantities in linseed, argan and wheat germ oil for a nourishing and restructuring action; 2. be rich in vitamin E (tocopherol), without which essential fatty acids are rendered ineffective by free radicals. We can use pure Vitamin E or add vegetable oils rich in this precious substance. Examples are wheat germ, macadamia and olive oil; 3. have a high presence of unsaponifiables, that is, the fraction of oil that cannot be transformed into soap. The presence of this fraction is important because it allows a better penetration of the active ingredients. Oils with a high percentage of unsaponifiables are argan, jojoba, avocado and olive; 4. perform a film-forming action, that is, be sebum-like and therefore be able to place a micro film on the hair shaft. Jojoba oil, shea butter and macadamia oil perform this action.

Taking into consideration what has been said, we can finally formulate our recipe!

Cellulite is a blemish that worries many people, especially women. One of the various ways to take care of your legs is to massage them with functional products. Cristina has created this recipe for all of us to help us with this age-old problem!

Hello everybody,

I've been a lover of homemade cosmetics for about three years. By now I produce almost everything at home, except for a few things that I am still starting to try.

In addition to information technology, it is a great passion of mine. Creating cosmetics at home is relaxing, fun and useful for me.

Today I would like to propose a tonic for oily skin, useful for anti-inflammatory and degreasing the skin.

We offer you another recipe that Laura has experimented for us: calendula and chamomile soap, emollient and anti-inflammatory, suitable for delicate skin!

But let's hear what our self-producing friend tells us:

”I would like to share with you one of my first recipes for home-made natural soaps. Driven by the desire to create a soap to use in the shower, that would avoid me buying shower gel and above all that would respond to the needs of my skin, I formulated this recipe thinking of one of my favorite flowers and which is best suited to my needs: the calendula. In fact, the main ingredient of this recipe is the marigold oil, very easy to self-produce at home, which embodies the anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and emollient properties of this beautiful flower; combined with the Chamomile infusion, it makes this soap suitable for those like me who have delicate skin, which tends to dry out and get irritated very easily. "

Castor oil is an excellent reinforcer and invigorating for dull and not very vital hair.

Leave the treatment on overnight, or, if you can't, at least for a few hours: you will have amazing results. Rinse with a small amount of organic shampoo and warm water.
