The DIY Glow Guide

Glowing skin, made in your own kitchen, from ingredients you can actually pronounce.

Tired of paying boutique prices for serums, creams and cleansers, then reading labels full of synthetic fragrance, fillers and ingredients you can't pronounce? The DIY Glow Guide: Face shows you how to make beautiful, natural face care at home: simply, safely and for a fraction of the cost.

Every recipe follows the series' clean-ingredient standards: no sugar or honey, no soy in any form and no industrial seed oils. Instead, you'll work with time-tested ingredients like grass-fed tallow, shea butter, rice water, clays, oats and botanical oils.

Inside you'll find 61 original recipes, each with a clear ingredient list, step-by-step directions, yield, shelf life and storage instructions:

• Gentle cleansers: tallow cleansing balms, oil cleansing blends, rice water face wash and soothing cleansing grains
• Face scrubs and polishes made with rice flour, coffee, oats, clay and fine sea salt, with no sugar in sight
• Toners and mists, including classic and traditional fermented rice water
• Serums and face oils, from a bakuchiol night serum to sea buckthorn glow drops and a vitamin C serum made with Kakadu plum
• Whipped tallow creams, rich night balms, light lotions and a tallow eye balm
• Clay, oat, rice and charcoal masks for a weekly reset
• Acne spot treatments for whiteheads, blackheads, swollen blemishes and the dark marks they leave behind

You'll also learn:

• How to find your skin type and choose the right recipes with the Find Your Skin Type chart: dry, oily, combination, acne-prone, sensitive, mature and more
• The most popular skin care bases, from tallow and lanolin to rice water and kaolin clay, and what each one does for your skin
• The equipment, pantry staples and safe essential oil amounts every beginner needs
• Exactly which recipes need the fridge or freezer, how long each one lasts, and when a natural preservative makes sense
• How to troubleshoot separated creams, grainy balms and whipped tallow that falls flat
• Simple morning and evening routines that put it all together

Whether you're making your first batch or building a natural skin care routine for your whole family, this illustrated guide gives you the confidence to create products you'll love using every day.
