    This cleansing oil recipe will give you Pure Velvet skin

    When taking off your make-up is the best part of your day Removing your make-up at night is so important for your skin. It cleanses your skin not only of your cosmetics, but also of all the day’s dust, sweat, and pollution.

To help us never so much as think of bypassing it again, we decided to work on an oil-based make-up remover recipe.

    What’s in our Super Cool Shampoo?

    This homemade shampoo will leave your hair soft and light There’s a not-so-secret ingredient in Super Cool Shampoo, our latest solid shampoo recipe. Any guesses? The answer is hidden in its name!

The resulting product is easy to work through your hair and cleans it gently. Thanks to the nettle leaves, ghassoul clay, and marshmallow root powder in this solid…
