Hygiene

I’ll admit it, I’ve got some nose pores that tend to be a little more dirty than I’d like.  It isn’t a huge deal, but it just seems like I can’t ever really get them scrubbed clean.  Store bought face wash only works ok.  Over the years I’ve tried a ton of different products with more or less the same result of not as clean as I’d like.  So, when I came across a simple homemade pore cleansing solution that was just powdered clay and apple cider vinegar I decided I should give it a shot.

As a guy I haven’t ever been overly eager for a “facial” before, not anti mind you, I never went out of my way to get one though.  For some reason, lately my silly nose pores have seemed a little more uncooperative than usual, so I decided to give this homemade pore cleansing clay mask a shot.

Here is a great way to make your own diy mason jar shaker, and best of all it costs next to nothing to make.  My grandma gave me a bunch of her old mason jars, and I’ve been trying to find some good uses for them, and this fits the bill.  These homemade shakers are great because you can make them in any size that you want and can be used for anything from spice shakers to homemade carpet freshener.

Making your own shakers is a great alternative to buying a new shaker, especially as an alternative to plastic.  Don’t worry if you don’t have any mason jars laying around you can also use any glass jar with a metal lid.

There aren’t a ton of homemade deodorant powder recipes around, so I scoured the internet and found a few awesome homemade deodorant powder recipes.

I haven’t tried out all of these recipes myself yet, but they all use basic non-chemically ingredients that should all mix together to fight odor, and absorb moisture.  I will definitely be trying out many, if not all, of these recipes over time, and will make updates as I do.

Now pick a recipe and start fighting odor without a ton of chemicals smeared in your armpits all day!

Several of these recipes use essential oils, so if you’re just getting started with making your own homemade goods, check out this essential oil starter kit to get your essential oil collection kick-started.

Making homemade dry shampoo is really really easy, which is great since dry shampoo can be really handy in a pinch.

The homemade dry shampoo recipe is perfect for anyone out there who doesn’t want to wash their hair everyday because shampoo is hard on their hair, for those who want a way to stay clean while they’re camping, or for anyone who has run out of shampoo and aren’t in the mood to make their own wet shampoo or for a trip to the store.

Deodorant, everybody needs it, and no one wants to admit it.  It’s something we use every (almost) every day of our lives.  Learning how to make deodorant is easy, and if you are looking for a way to stay fresh with less chemicals here’s how to do it. 

This homemade shampoo is another very basic, very simple, and very effective homemade experiment. You can literally whip up a batch of homemade baking soda shampoo in one minute, it’s that easy, and fun too.
