Try any of your favourite essential oil for bit of smell.

My grandmother as a little girl, used to get her hair washed with milk or lassi lol.

I tried lemon essential oil in the shampoo this morning - my hair smells like pine sol and spinach

I’ll look for lavendar tonight I think

@best_friend

For conditioner you can use lemon juice diluted with equal parts water.

For deodorant, you can use crystal rock salt deodorant. Or you can just rub baking soda in your underarms it eliminates odors.

For body lotion, there are many recipes on the internet for body butters, I guess you could use them instead of body lotion?

And sometimes I wonder the same too lol…

I found recipes for both - I think I’ll be trying them in the next week or so.

@Muzna

try just plain old besan instead of face wash.
you can add a drop or two of rose water and almond oil if you like…

chemicals are not good…no conspiracy about that.

For face wash, I switched to the OCM which takes off my makeup too so I guess that’s where it started.

I bought aloe vera last night…going to see how I could use it.

@Princess121

I’ve tried crushed rose petals (bought as a powder) mixed with a little oil / water (can’t quite remember) as a face mask. Not sure if it actually helped my skin but it was fun!

It is fun actually. I couldn’t break the coconut though so my dad helped me a little bit with making the shampoo

I am going to try an avocado hair treatment I keep thinking about…one of our old users farrah posted it a while ago. Her hair changed dramatically in only two months but she really took care of it. The avocado mask was a part of her regimen.

I will do this step by step to see if it works for me…I’ll perfect my shampoo first, then conditioner (all the conditioner recipes I find call for ACV which stinks like a zoo), then deodorant, then lotion and then body wash.

Although for lotion I could probably use an oil except I love my Nivea so much - the German one - that shouldn’t need replacing right?
