For about a year I have been making soap for me and my family. A few months ago I started making creams too. At first I followed the recipes I found in the books ... then I started creating them myself. This delicate shea butter cream is very moisturizing and suitable for the winter season, it is also very simple to make. I also use it for my children, both for the body and for the face.

Summer is approaching, and your skin isn't ready yet? Here are some tips for making your own natural facial scrub at home! Exfoliating scrub is a product that should never be missing from our beauty routines. Whether for the body or the face, it's a product that, when used regularly, helps remove dead cells, promotes cell renewal, and gives the skin tone and vitality. Exfoliation removes dead cells, stimulates the lymphatic system, and aids in the elimination of toxins, improving the facial microcirculation. The result is smoother, translucent, and radiant skin, a healthier and more radiant appearance. Making your own scrub is very simple (and cost-effective!), and it reduces the risk of unpleasant allergic reactions, often triggered by synthetic ingredients or overly intense and aggressive fragrances in commercial products. It's important that the scrub is as gentle as possible to avoid irritating delicate facial skin. Let's look at three simple recipes suitable for various skin types to make our own scrub at home.

Recipe submitted to the "Saponi e buoi dei paesi tuoi" self-production contest. Why does it represent the proverb "Saponi e buoi dei paesi tuoi"? This soap draws inspiration from the beauty of Baltic amber, the roses of Polish gardens, and the natural honey from Polish bees. I would describe this soap with three adjectives: elegant, romantic, and delicate. It embodies the perfect combination of ingredients capable of awakening three senses of our body: the touch of amber powder, the scent of roses, and the taste of honey. Amber, attributed with magical characteristics, reminds me of the elegant and mysterious beauty of the Baltic Sea. The precious amber powder is used as a luxurious exfoliant, making the skin softer and smoother. Rose essential oil is known for its moisturizing, firming, and skin-repairing properties. Its wonderful scent will give you a feeling of happiness, thanks to its antidepressant properties. Additionally, rose petals create a refined composition with amber powder. Honey has relaxing, emollient, and soothing properties. This fantastic liquid gold will help keep your skin hydrated and fresh.

Recipe submitted for the "Saponi e buoi dei paesi tuoi" self-production competition. Why does it represent the proverb "Saponi e buoi dei paesi tuoi"? Because it contains honey produced in the valley at 1500 meters, juniper berries, and red fir needles collected in the woods behind the house, as well as essential oils of wild pine, juniper, and red fir to evoke the scents of the forest. The soap's green color also recalls the colors of the woods. Additionally, each soap mold was made using a piece of fir wood and two fresh twigs.
