We are offering you something NEVER seen before on our blog: our favorite hidden recipes.
"Huh? Hidden recipes? Hidden where?"
If you move in the wonderful world of homemade cosmetics, you have surely noticed how recipes are often very versatile. So versatile that sometimes, their primary use can be diverted to serve something completely different. Yes, yes! We aren't saying it's a good idea to ice your cake with our whipped shea butter, but still!
The idea is a bit like the famous hidden menus at certain large fast-food chains, except that instead of having a large fry with extra Big Mac sauce, you will be able to make a scrub from a bath milk recipe. Not bad, right? Much more our style, hahaha!
So that is what we have listed here: how to use our recipes differently, so you can get the most out of them.
Go go, serum gadget!
A multi-purpose serum
We love oil, we do! And our raspberry serum is good for so much more than just taking care of your face!
We love it as a massage oil, as a hair oil, and also to clean or remove makeup from the face! It's all in there. Go go, serum gadget!
Some swell cuticles
A lip balm... for your cuticles!
You read that right.
We suggest you try the lip balm from our blog or our book on your cuticles. Seriously, it works super well!
Goodbye, smelly feet!
A deodorant... for your feet!
Do you have a baking soda-based deodorant and want to get the most out of it? Or maybe you realized that baking soda is too irritating for your underarms, and ever since, it's been sleeping at the back of your cupboard?
We have the solution for you: simply put a small amount of deodorant under your feet before putting on your socks. Goodbye, smelly feet! IT WORKS MIRACLES. For real. Try it, it's not even a joke. It's one of our favorite hidden recipes.
Self-care power level 1000
A bath milk... as a scrub base!
Our nourishing bath milk can easily be transformed into a fantastic body scrub. How? We add oil to create a paste, and we exfoliate! Simple as pie.
You can take only a small portion of our bath milk to make the exfoliating treatment, and keep the rest to put in the bath: it's time for a beautiful self-care session worthy of a spa. Ahhhh! Not a bad hidden recipe, right?
One product to replace THEM ALL
A dish soap cake for a spic 'n span house
Ahhh the dish soap cake. This miracle product. What does it not do? That's the real question. We especially love it for cleaning the glass-ceramic cooktop, and for cleaning the bathroom, like shower doors, the sink, and the bathtub. It's MAGIC MAGIC MAGIC. After that, you wonder why you still have 4-5-6 different cleaning products when the dish soap cake can do practically EVERYTHING.
The little rebel
The super balm... on tattoos!
Our super-balm's middle name is multi-purpose. It does EVERYTHING. It's truly an essential to always have on hand. Among other things, we love it as a balm for tattoos! We prefer an essential oil-free version for this type of use, and obviously, we suggest you follow the recommendations of your tattoo artist. You can also use it on irritated skin, sunburns, or even as a lip balm.
Hidden recipes, want some? We've got plenty!
