An important point:
The Patch Test
If you have sensitive skin or a history of allergies, it is helpful to test if you have any sensitivity to the ingredients used. To try out a homemade cosmetic, make a paste of the ingredients with water and apply to your forearm in an area about the size of a one Rand coin. Let the paste dry there and apply a loose band-aid. If there is no reaction within twenty-four hours, go ahead and use the recipe.
