Natural Skincare
Description
Natural Skincare
Is your skin sensitive and easily reactive to commercial skincare products? Does it feel uncomfortable, itching or stinging? Is it prone to outbursts of spots, acne or carbuncles? Do you suffer from eczema, rosacea or allergic contact dermatitis?
Is your skin getting thinner, and no longer looks as plump and smooth as it once did? Do you feel your skin is ageing faster than it should?
Many hyped, branded and shop-bought cosmetic products contain ingredients that are harsh, drying and irritating to skin, and may have long-term health consequences despite the high-flying claims of being natural. With the right knowledge and preparation, homemade skin products can be just as – if not more – convenient, but more importantly, healthy, people and environment friendly, offering great results for various skin types, as well as different demands from the perspective of age, allergies or congenital chronic conditions.
Natural Skincare course teaches you:
-
How to fuel your skin from the inside, making it glow from the outside.
-
What ingredients to use in skincare products to hydrate the skin on a deep level and boost moisture.
-
How to draw excess oils from the skin and treat problematic skin outbreaks.
-
How to avoid premature skin ageing and keep youthful suppleness.
What is healthy skin?
Healthy skin is strong, supple, vibrant, calm, adjustable, of a consistent colour and feels good. The skin is not completely smooth like glass, but has tiny peaks around hair follicles and pores, and tiny valleys in between the peaks. Healthy skin also doesn’t react to stress with outbursts, redness, excessive oiliness or heat, and it doesn’t have eczema or rashes, hives or spots. It doesn’t itch, burn, sting or scale, is neither flaky nor moist and it doesn’t feel tight. Healthy skin feels good to be in, naturally glows, has lines and pores, and is comfortable.
If your skin doesn’t feel like anything, that’s a sign that your skin is doing alright.

About the course
This course combines lectures, demonstrations and hands-on learning. The first part runs over two days and focuses on how you can look after your skin from the inside out. It emphasises the importance of nutrition, healthy diet, supplementation and lifestyle for the state of your skin, and how quickly or slowly it will age. You’ll learn about different skin types and how to balance them through diet, lifestyle and using special herbs.
The practical part lasts one day and shows how to make your own homemade skincare products using safe, natural ingredients that are found in almost every kitchen. This hands-on workshop is perfect for gaining expert knowledge and practical techniques to create bespoke, original and handmade natural beauty products for every skin type, age and condition. Being able to whip up your own fluffy body butter, or blend your own refreshing toner, or mix together your own organic serum will see you start to turn your back on store-bought formulations.
