Have you ever wondered why there are so many skincare products? So many brands and suppliers, all promising the same thing: smoother skin, younger-looking skin, glowing skin. But does it really work for you?
Let’s take a closer look.
You’ve probably tried a product recommended by a friend, only to find it wasn’t quite right for you. That’s perfectly normal, even if you both have the same skin type. With millions of people in the world, there are countless skin variations, and each skin reacts differently to ingredients.
Many Factors Influence Your Skin
- Genetics
- Hormonal changes
- Diet
- Climate – cold wind or hot summer
- Lifestyle –physical activity during the day
Our skin reflects a lot of what’s happening inside and around us. So don’t ask yourself why you should make a cream at home—ask yourself why not?
Skincare Should Be Personally Tailored
Since each of us is unique, it’s important that skincare is also personally tailored. Not just to a general skin type, but to the current condition:
- Is it summer or winter?
- Are hormonal imbalances affecting your skin?
- Do you smoke, sleep poorly, or drink alcohol?
- Are you on any medications?
- Are you currently stressed?
- Do you use a lot of makeup or overuse facial cleansers?
- Do you work in a dusty or dirty environment?
- Do you hydrate enough?
All these factors affect your skin’s condition. When you take them into account, it’s clear that a single cream for one skin type cannot satisfy everyone. No two people need exactly the same product, which makes homemade skincare the perfect solution.
Why Homemade Skincare Works
- Customised natural products – made specifically for you
- Not heavy or herbal-only – these creams can be light and smooth, just like store-bought ones
- Choice of ingredients – you pick exactly what your skin needs
However, making personalised skincare still requires some knowledge and experience. We won’t become experts overnight, but you don’t need a degree to start creating your own creams. Be cautious with online recipes, not every recipe is tested or safe for your skin. Knowing the right ingredients, proportions, and safe usage is essential.
Workshops: Learn to Make Your Own Cream
On my workshops, I teach how to create skincare that:
- Is safe and effective
- Contains the ingredients you want
- Can be tailored to your current needs
So…
Making your own cream isn’t just a trend. It’s empowering, personalised skincare. When you understand your skin and the ingredients it needs, you can create products that truly work. Why settle for a generic cream when you can have one made just for you?
