Hey everyone! Today, I’m super excited to chat about something cool and useful: making your very own herbal extracts right at your place. It’s a fun project that’s not only easy to do but also super good for your skin. We’re going to use a method that doesn’t need heat, so it keeps all the goodness of the herbs in the extract.

Why Herbal Extracts Are Awesome

Herbal extracts are like a secret weapon for your skin. They’re natural and can make your skin look amazing. We’re using a method today that’s perfect if your skin doesn’t like harsh stuff because it uses glycerin instead of alcohol. This means it’s gentle and keeps your skin happy and healthy.

How to Make Your Own Extracts

Alright, let’s get into how to actually make these extracts. You only need a couple of things to get started:

What You Need:

• Your favorite dried herbs (I’m all about hibiscus, chamomile, and green tea because they’re great for your skin)
• Glycerin (this is what pulls all the good stuff out of the herbs)

How Much:

• About a spoonful or two of each herb for every jar
• Enough glycerin to cover the herbs in the jar

What to Do:

1. Put your herbs into clean glass jars.
2. Cover the herbs with glycerin.
3. Give it a good mix, close the jars, and find a cool, dark spot for them to sit.
4. Shake the jars a little bit every few days, and let them sit for about a month.

When the month is up, strain out the herbs, and you’ve got your own homemade herbal extracts! You can use these in DIY beauty products or as part of your daily skin care.

Final Thoughts

Making these extracts is one of those things that’s super satisfying. You get to pick the herbs, mix them up, and then see the magic happen over a month. I hope this little guide inspires you to give it a try and see for yourself how cool it is.

Catch you later, and happy extracting!
