Do you want to learn about natural skincare making? This 4 week beginners course is designed to teach you the basics of skincare creation. You will learn about ingredient sourcing, the benefits of making your own rather than buying and how to keep things local and as circular where possible. Learn how to make face creams, body lotions and mist sprays as well as masks, scrubs and oils. You will leave the class with the knowledge and skills to make your own skincare products that are safe and effective for your own use.
