Kitchen Kosmetics

At our August meeting, there was a demonstration and talk about making cosmetics from everyday kitchen ingredients. We learnt that there`s no need to buy expensive branded products when you can raid the kitchen instead!
As a child, Nazama Azmat learnt many tricks from her mother and grandmother about using natural kitchen ingredients as cosmetics.

Nazama gave beauty tips, and demonstrated `easy to make`, effective beauty treatments(suitable for both men and women) using every-day kitchen ingredients on a willing volunteer! We learnt about vegetarian and vegan treatment recipes that have been handed down through family generations. We all had the opportunity to smell and test some of the cosmetics, and go away with the recipes to try ourselves. You can download the recipes here

Why spend lots of money on beauty and skin care products which may well contain harmful, toxic ingredients, when you have an array of natural cosmetics at your fingertips in your kitchen! You don't need to buy expensive branded products - raid the kitchen instead!

As always, Red Kite Health Foods held a stall at the meeting, and was able to offer many of the ingredients that were used in the demonstration.
