Herbal Skincare 101

Want to learn how to make your own skin care products from natural, wholesome, recognizable ingredients?  Look no further! Join herbalist Ali Rohde of Northern Sky Botanicals and learn about the plants and herbs most used in skincare, along with their unique properties and benefits. Ali will share which oils and plant butters are best for the skin, and teach you how to choose the right ones for your skin type.  Each participant will prepare their own tin of lip balm and start their own jar of infused calendula oil, which can be used in future projects. You'll leave with a solid foundation for working with herbs for skincare, as well as recipes and instructions so you can continue to make your own herbal products at home!

Light refreshments will be served.
