The vast majority of cosmetics available today have many carcinogenic and toxic additives in their ingredients list. They have been linked to a variety of maladies ranging from eczema and hives on the milder side to more serious issues like lung damage and cancerous breast tumors. Click here to learn more about ten toxic ingredients you should avoid in any cosmetic product.
I have never really been one to wear makeup since I have sensitive skin and never really learned how exactly to apply it. Recently, I had been looking for a natural product to balance out a few lighter shaded spots on my face. Even many of the natural makeup lines contained additives that I was less than sure about, so I decided to make my own bronzing moisturizer. This moisturizer only contains 3 ingredients, all of which are great for your skin, and it smells amazing!
3 Ingredient Bronzing Moisturizer– Raw/Vegan/Organic
Turmeric Powder– Anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, known to even out skin tone and add glow to skin.
Cacao Powder– Smells amazing, and contains sulfer which is essencial for healthy hair, nails, and skin.
Coconut Oil– Moisturizing, protects skin from free radicals, anti-bacterial.
I am estimating the measurements that I used for my skin tone: 3 TBS. Cacao powder, 2/3 Tsp. Turmeric Powder, 2 Heaping TBS. Coconut oil. Chances are you know your own skin tone best so adjust to your liking. I recommend starting with just a little turmeric so you get a nice glow rather than an accidental yellow tone. If you have a lighter skin tone cinnamon powder (also anti-bacterial), and arrowroot starch can be used to cut the cacao powder and lighten the tone. To add a subtle red or pink undertone use a super fine mesh strainer to stain beet root powder or hibiscus powder, and add the fine strained powders to your mixture until you get the shade you desire.
Voila! your very own customized bronzing makeup!
