The Daily Green Tip
Did you know that you could save as much as $180 by making your own health and beauty products? According to one study, that's how much the average woman spends in a year on cosmetics and personal care products.
Beyond the cost savings potential, though, natural health and beauty products — whether it's a dry skin treatment or a sunburn remedy — are often as effective as commercial products, but contain none of the preservatives or other suspect chemicals common in many off-the-shelf products.
Chance are you won't be able to replace every item in your medicine cabinet or beauty bag, but you may just find that DIY is a key to health and wellness.
For starters, try these 9 natural health and beauty recipes from the book, Grow Your Own Drugs.
You too can help save our planet and put money back in your wallet. Learn how you can take the first steps to reduce your environmental impact in this green living section.
