Create Your Own Natural Skincare

Step into a world where beauty is rooted in the wild earth. This workshop is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover the simple wisdom of plants. Surrounded by the gentle embrace of nature, you’ll be guided through a day of creativity, connection, and craft as you learn to make your own natural skincare — products that are not only nourishing for your body but also kind to the planet.

So often, our daily skincare routines are filled with complicated labels, chemical additives, and single-use packaging. But long before beauty counters and bottled creams, people turned to the meadows, hedgerows, and herb gardens to find everything they needed for healthy, glowing skin. In this course, we’ll return to those roots together. Using herbs, flowers, oils, and minerals, you’ll discover how simple ingredients can be transformed into everyday luxuries, lovingly handmade with your own two hands.

What You’ll Make

Throughout the day, you’ll create a beautiful bundle of wild cosmetics to take home, each one carefully designed to show you a different technique:

• Herbal-Infused Oils – Learn the traditional method of drawing healing properties out of herbs and plants. These oils can be used on their own as massage blends, or as the base for balms, creams, and salves.
• Soothing Lip Balm – A simple, protective balm that locks in moisture, softens your lips, and acts as a gentle shield against the elements.
• Herbal Bath Salts with Essential Oils – Infuse your bath time with the restorative power of herbs and the calming scents of essential oils. These salts are perfect for relaxation, grounding, and a touch of indulgence.
• Gentle Natural Soap – Discover the art of botanical soap-making, creating a cleansing bar with natural scents and plant-based properties.
• Simple Creams or Salves – Put your skills together to make a versatile everyday cream or salve for skin nourishment, soothing minor irritations, or simply treating yourself to something handmade and wholesome.

Each recipe has been chosen not only for its practicality but also for its connection to the natural rhythms of the land. You’ll explore why certain herbs are cooling or calming, which plants carry restorative or protective qualities, and how to blend ingredients safely to create products that really work.

The Journey of the Day

The workshop is designed to be more than just practical skills — it’s an experience that nurtures your creativity and deepens your relationship with nature. We’ll begin by gathering together in a calm, welcoming space and introducing ourselves to the world of wild beauty. You’ll be invited to touch, smell, and connect with the raw ingredients, learning their stories and the wisdom they carry.

As the day unfolds, we’ll move through the process step by step: warming oils, blending herbs, melting waxes, stirring fragrant mixtures, and pouring your creations into pots and jars. Each stage offers a mindful moment to slow down and take joy in the process. You’ll be surrounded by the soft hum of conversation, the scent of flowers and herbs, and the satisfaction of watching simple, natural elements transform into something luxurious and deeply personal.

Breaks throughout the day will allow you to enjoy herbal teas, fresh drinks, and nourishing snacks. These pauses are a chance to reflect, ask questions, and connect with others in the group — people who share your curiosity about natural living and sustainability.

What’s Included

• All ingredients, herbs, and equipment carefully sourced for you to use
• A full set of recipes and notes so you can continue experimenting at home
• A supportive, creative environment surrounded by the peace of nature
• Unlimited refreshments — a selection of herbal teas, water, and light snacks to keep you inspired throughout the day

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a bundle of handmade products to take home: your oils, balms, bath salts, soaps, and creams. More than that, you’ll take with you the confidence to recreate them, a deeper knowledge of herbs and plants, and the sense of calm and fulfilment that comes from making something meaningful with your own hands.

Who Is This Workshop For?

This course is for absolutely anyone with a spark of curiosity — no previous experience is needed. Whether you’re:

• drawn to natural living and want to make everyday choices that are more sustainable,
• fascinated by herbal medicine and the traditional uses of plants,
• looking for creative, mindful activities that allow you to slow down and reconnect with yourself,
• or simply someone who loves the idea of pampering yourself with products you’ve made from scratch…

…you’ll find something magical in this experience.

Leave With More Than Just Products

When you step away at the end of the day, your hands may carry the faint scent of lavender, calendula, or rosemary, and your bag will be filled with jars and bottles of your own wild creations. But what you’ll really take home is the inspiration to keep going: to keep crafting, keep experimenting, and keep discovering how much nature offers when we pause and pay attention.

This workshop is not just about skincare. It’s about weaving sustainability, self-care, and creativity into your everyday life. It’s about remembering that the earth gives us what we need — and finding joy in the act of making something for yourself, from the simplest of gifts she provides.
