homemade beauty recipes or over-the-counter products?

Question

which one works better?

Answer 1

I like my own recipe for clear skin
sugar and milk it works great better than any acid stuff i've tried

Answer 2

I think homemade beauty products give you a better sense of what you are really putting on your skin. There is no telling what you are really using for where it came from when you use store bought products. I have created my own company that does natural skincare products because a lot of people do not have the time to create their own products. As for which works better, I think it really depends on what you are using for which purpose. There are some really good products that are trying to be all natural in the store... but then if you have the time you can make it yourself and know for sure that it is all natural. If you dont have time you can on my website.

Answer 3

Over the counter products have longer shelf life, while the home made beauty products are to be used immediately after preparing, also, every time they are to be made fresh for use. Similarly, all the ingredients are many a times not used by the users (short cuts are taken), making them less effective.
If you are ready to take pains of making fresh home made recipe every time, with complete ingredients in right quantity, it will work great. Remember, it will be custom made for you, so it will work best towards desired results.

Answer 8

It really depends on your skin types and how much time you could spend on mixing stuff, I use both and I think they both have their advantages, here are some home things I use from time to time: http://beauty-tricks.com/index.php?option=com_facileforms&Itemid=&ff_name=ReviewList&ff_param_section=8&ff_param_cat=46&ff_param_limit=10&ff_param_order=SubmissionDateNew
