We did not always buy every single little thing. We used to make the things that we needed. Now we make money and it takes a bit to be enough to buy everything.

DIY Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide for Health, Wealth, and Beauty by Deborah Tosline

When you make your own DIY sunscreen you save money while using the highest quality, biodegradable ingredients.

Dermarolling to Rejuvenate Lips by Deborah Tosline

For decades, I obeyed the recommendations of skin care specialists and avoided using strong Do-It-Yourself (DIY) products and devices on eye, neck and lip skin.
