D.I.Y SkinCare workshops
Learn to make and personalise your own skincare, moisturisers, lotions, potions from scratch! Ideal for sensitive skin!
Mastering the basic in skin care is easy, healthier for your skin and fun for all ages.
When you will have the skills to make your healthy own, you will never look back!

D.I.Y. SkinCare Workshops are for those of you who love to use nothing but the best, the purest and the finest quality plant preparations on yourself and your family.
These “hands on” workshops combine practical and theoretical knowledge with the opportunity to smell, touch, taste and make delicious products to take home.
Home made skin cares are fresh, natural, with no synthetically colour, fragrance or preservative.
After years of collecting my favourite recipes, I feel I can pass on information that will not only save you time but also to save you from annoying trial-and-error procedures.
As well as containing pure plant ingredients your preparations will contain lots of love- a truly special ingredient.
Happy cosmetics making!

What they say:
Dear Marlene,
Just like to thank you so much for the practical workshop on Mineral Makeup. It has given me a lot
of insights into making the perfect natural makeup for myself. I found it very interesting and would
really want to spread it out to the world to really get people to look at the labels behind what they
put on their face! Thank you once again for the fantastic workshop and would love to hear from
you soon. Kind Regards. Carol
