DIY Translucent Face Powder Recipe

If you’re someone who wears powder every day before heading to work/school, then you need to try making your own! Just to give yourself a break from chemicals & toxins in the store-bought version – your skin will thank you!

Now this translucent face powder just uses 3 ingredients – arrow root powder, cornstarch and unsweetened cocoa powder! Isn’t that amazing! These ingredients also have other great beauty benefits for your skin. You can check them out below:

It’s totally optional but you can also add lavender essential oil to make the powder. It’s used mainly to improve the scent of the face powder but it also thickens the recipe and holds it together. Sub with any other essential oil of choice but avoid citrus essential oils because they are photo-sensitive!
