Hair & Skin Type Recommendations

Dry Skin/Hair: Use ingredients like avocado, coconut oil, honey, banana, and shea butter.

Sensitive Skin: Stick to oatmeal, chamomile, honey, and cucumber.

Final Tip:

Always do a patch test before trying new recipes — even natural ingredients can cause irritation for some people.

Your kitchen is your personal spa — all you need is a few minutes, a few ingredients, and a little self-love.

We wish you well.
