Save money by making your own facial cream at home.
Instead of purchasing facial creams at the store, you can make your own at home. Facial creams help to moisturize and clean the skin. Commercial facial creams often contain many additives, including preservatives that can irritate the skin and artificial color. Homemade creams allow you to use natural ingredients, which will save you money. Store your homemade facial cream in the refrigerator for three to six weeks. Does this Spark an idea?
