Reasons Why Homemade Beauty Products are Better for Your Kids
Reason 1: You know what ingredients are going onto your child’s skin
The fact that you know every ingredient that has gone into your product is pretty much enough in and of itself to convince many people that they should be making DIY beauty products for their kids. Making your kids DIY beauty products is much safer than buying store-brought products, as you don’t have to worry about harmful ingredients that may irritate your child’s skin. Homemade beauty products are simply safer and healthier as you know exactly what is in them and where all of the ingredients came from.
Reason 2: It’s much cheaper
Beauty products, even kid beauty products, can be pricey. Maybe kid’s beauty products for their playtime makeovers aren’t even in the budget at the moment and that’s okay! You can whip up some DIY, kid-friendly beauty products with ingredients already found in your pantry! What’s great about this is you can also can use these ingredients (or even the products that you make) for multiple uses. Coconut oil for your DIY, kid-friendly lipstick, to grease your fry pan, to have in your smoothies, etc.
Reason 3: It’s better for the environment
There are so many things that make commercial beauty products harmful to the environment. The amount of packaging and number of bottles (which are supposed to be thrown away or recycled after the product inside has been completely used up) is shocking enough, however, there are also many more sinister and less obvious factors of the beauty production industry that harm the environment.
This entire issue can be avoided, simply by making homemade beauty products instead. Instead of using harmful ingredients like microbeads, keeping it all natural and organic is going to be so much better for the environment overall, and it’s going to help avoid all of the pollution that comes as a result of production. Making your own beauty products is a great way to “go green” with yours and your child’s beauty routine (if you can count your child playing with lipsticks and eyeshadows a routine).
