Basic instructions encourage members to share ideas and explore a variety of materials with one another. The fall workshop engages the circle in creating skin care products that will revitalize the spirit and give new energy for your creative journey. You'll gather with your wooden spoons, herbs and secret ingredients — guided by recipes that the circle will modify and alter to the group's specifications. Included below are a few books and websites to help you find recipe ideas. Before you meet, decide on the type of skin care product you'd like to concoct — bath crystals, facial lotions or lip balms. Next, discuss your packaging options. Remember, half the fun in pampering yourself is in the aesthetic beauty of the product! Finally, decide on a place where you can gather and make a mess! Give yourselves ample time for this workshop and make large batches of your circle's wellness potion. That way you can indulge yourself and have enough to share with special friends! skin care recipe resources: Below are a few websites and books that provide recipes for skin and hair products.
