Workshop #1 — Introduction to natural skin care

This workshop is geared to all beginners whether you're simply interested in learning the general aspects of skin care products or are looking for a place to start in building your knowledge to create your own skin care products for yourself, your family or eventually as a business.  You'll be exposed to a variety of topics within the field to give you a good comfortable place of general knowledge or as a starting point from which to choose a direction for further study and investigation.

The first half of this workshop is an overview of and introduction to the world of natural skin care with a slight focus on making products at home.  Here you will be introduced to some of the main ingredients used in natural skin care.  We'll explore how they affect our skin, how they're used to create a pleasing product and they're affect on our internal and external environments. You'll also begin to learn the basic techniques needed to create skin care products from scratch.  Finally, we'll cover some terminology so that you may feel confident reading recipes and labels.  You'll have greater skill in interpreting recipes when creating your own products and deciphering labels to make more informed choices regarding your commercial skin care purchases.

In the second half of this workshop we'll put to the test the basics we've learned by creating a natural hand cream that you can take home.  We'll also create another product based on your interests that you can also take home and enjoy.
