As we step into a new year, I’d love to pause and look forward together. DIY beauty is a personal journey, some of us are just beginning, some are building consistency, and others are exploring how this passion might grow over time. 💁‍♀️ What’s one DIY beauty goal or wish you have for 2026? It can be something simple or something you’re slowly dreaming about, such as: - Making your first handmade skincare product - Creating a gentle routine for yourself or your family - Learning more about natural ingredients - Gaining confidence in formulating - Exploring ways to earn from this passion at your own pace There’s no right or wrong answer, and no pressure to have everything figured out.Even a small intention counts :) I’ll start - my wish is to grow DIY Beauty Snacks into a warm, global community of 100 women, sharing and spreading the joy and empowerment of DIY beauty together.🙌 What about you?

“Natural” doesn’t always mean “safe for everyone.” For example: • Essential oils are natural, but overuse can irritate or damage the skin barrier • Coconut oil works for some, but can be comedogenic or feel drying for others • Fresh aloe vera gel is soothing, but spoils quickly and may cause reactions which is why preserved aloe vera gel is usually safer for regular DIY skincare use 👉 What makes a product skin-friendly isn’t whether it’s “fresh” or “natural” It’s about formulation, stability, and skin condition. In DIY beauty, less is more: - Short ingredient lists - Gentle, well-balanced formulas - Ingredients chosen with intention, not trends😉 It’s always good to practice a skin patch test before using any new ingredient or product, even if it’s natural, to ensure your skin isn’t allergic or sensitive to it. 💁‍♀️Which ingredient have you been most cautious with?
