If you ever wished there was a way for you to truly try out a product before you commit to buying it.

If you are trying to stick to a budget but still want quality products that make your life easier.

If you want to eliminate as many fillers and chemicals from your life as possible.

Or if you were ever curious about how your favorite products are made.

Then welcome to "How To Create Your Own Products"

This site will help you to create some of the most popular products sold in drugstores and department stores all in the convenience of your own home.

Every recipe on this site has been tested repeatedly so that the products you create will give you the same results you get from the products on the department store shelves.

And since only "core" ingredients are used, ("core" meaning the ones that give you the results you desire) and any fillers and additives have been left out, you can be sure that the products you make yourself will be purer and more effective. And most importantly, about an 1/8 of the cost of products purchased at a drugstore, department store or even online.

Enjoy the site and remember that new products are being added every week so check back often or subscribe to my RSS feed.

Have fun with all the new products you create and with the extra $ in your pocket.

Make Your Own Burts Bees Grapefruit Complexion Mist


The recipe that spawned this site. I fell in love with this product about 7 years ago. Anyone who has ever used it knows how wonderful it is. I call it “my morning after spray” because no matter how late I stayed out or how tired I was in the morning it never failed to make my skin look fresh and alive. Long day at work and no time to redo my makeup for drinks with the girls? No problem. Burts Bees Grapefruit Complexion Mist to the rescue.

So imagine my panic when I found out that it had been discontinued. When I discovered the ingredients were pretty simple and readily available, I decided to try creating Burts Bees Grapefruit Complexion Mist myself.

This recipe is very easy and the results are exactly the same as the original. It even smells the same. Have fun making Burts Bees Grapefruit Complexion Mist at home.
