The Workshop Programme

Those who hesitate whether to join the workshop or look for inspiration should read the interview with Paulina Czarszką.

How have you come up with the idea to produce home-made cosmetics?

 Paulina Czarszka:  In my case it was a necessity rather than than a conscious choice. I have particularly sensitive skin. I could not use any cosmetics from  beauty supply stores.  So I started making beauty products myself for my own purposes.  With time the recipes have become more and more advanced.  Finally it occurred to me that there are more people like me; those, who cannot use off-shelf products from chemists', who need something healthier.  I felt I might want to share what I do. I do it on my blog, in short films. It has been growing and advancing - natural recipes are a part of my job, an important part of my life.

Cosmetics have been verified, they are made exactly the way you need it. Truly homemade cosmetics

What are the advantages of cosmetics you make in comfort of your home?

Paulina Czarszka: Firstly - we know exactly what is the composition of cosmetics: how much and what ingredients have been used. We can eliminate products that sensitize our skin or ones we do not want to use. Just like vegans who do not want to use animal products. We can make cosmetics without particular ingredients.

When you make your own cosmetics you are more aware, it is a bespoke formulation to suit your needs. I do not have take what is on offer in a chain-outlet. I can sit back and think what I need - is this a serum, if so what capacities it needs to have.  If I wanted to buy off-shelf cosmetic, I would probably have to find three different products. I can develop a formula myself and that will perfectly suit my needs.

The two most common deterrents that prevent you from trying something new are time and money. What are the costs? Is it time-consuming to make cosmetics at home?

Paulina Czarszka: When it comes to home-made cosmetics, neither time nor money should be an obstacle. It is a matter of hours to have your home-made cosmetics. There is no need to delve into the complex recipe. Just mix two or three ingredients taking care of right quantities, a few minutes later we have a cream, a serum or a mask. Homemade beauty product are often cheaper than those you buy at a drug-store.  If you are allergic, it is better to invest in basic ingredients and make something on your own rather than use trial and error method to find cosmetics you really need.

Why participate in the workshops held on April 24 will in Targi Kielce?

Paulina Czarszka:  I would say that there are three reasons to try your hand at homemade cosmetics.

1. If you are already tired with never-ending quest and you find it difficult to find product you need - come and learn how to make tailor-made cosmetics.
2. Come, if you feel like having some fun. Once you have a go, you find it hard to stop.
3.  If you take a proper care about yourself, you eat healthy food and take exercise, it is also worth learning how to take care of your skin, increase awareness of what you rub into your skin. You used to enter a shop and grabbed any cosmetic. Now it is the thing of a past.  We should be more aware as far as sin care is concerned.

Thank you for the conversation.  Now you need to remember:  23-24 April Active, Beauty & HealthExpo
