Homemade beauty products have a special power – not only because we know what we are putting on our skin, but because they often achieve results that expensive creams with shiny promises do not even remotely live up to. Among these home-grown winners, turmeric has reigned supreme for centuries – this spice icon, which is not only the star of oriental cuisines, but also the secret weapon of Asian skin care. And what if we told you that you can make a toner from it that can easily compete with the most praised “glass skin” mists of Korean cosmetics. How to make a homemade toner from turmeric?

In a world where cosmetics have become a veritable chemical weapon, aloe vera is like a balm—literally and metaphorically. This humble plant with thick, sap-filled leaves isn't just a trend in the natural-care world, it's a star who deserves its own green stage. Plus, let's be honest, you probably have at least one aloe vera plant sitting on your kitchen shelf somewhere that you occasionally glance at but haven't really used.

In a world where beauty products appeal to us with promises of eternal youth, radiant skin, and Instagram-filter-style self-image, we often find ourselves in front of the shelf thinking: Do I really need another €78 cream with Icelandic moss extract, which is grazed by reindeer?

The answer is – nature. And no, that’s not a cliché. If you’ve ever peeked into your grandmother’s bathroom shelf, you’ll quickly realize that she knew about the power of castor oil, onions, and aloe vera decades ago. And no – she didn’t use them for salad.
In an age where Instagram offers a new miracle cream every day and TikTok offers exotic beauty rituals from every corner of the world, something very simple is often overlooked – the power of milk. Yes, that white drink that we usually pour into coffee or cereal, but in fact it hides extraordinary secrets for natural, radiant and smooth skin.

We all want that perfect, radiant skin – the kind that doesn’t need an Instagram filter and that looks rested in the morning, even before we drink our first cup of coffee. In the flood of cosmetic products that promise youth, radiance and a “glass skin” look, we often forget about the power of natural ingredients. The solution doesn’t necessarily lie in expensive bottles with gold caps, but can be found right in the kitchen – specifically in orange peel and aloe vera. How to make a homemade serum from these two ingredients?
