Have you heard about all the wonders of beetroot juice?

If you drink beetroot and carrot juice frequently, you would be getting a glow in no time but let's not focus on juices today

The benefits of beetroot oil include;

💖 Skin lightening

💖 Fades blemishes and scars

💖 Makes the lips pink

💖 Removes cellulites etc

Making the oil is as simple as normal infusion methods

Grate beetroot and spread in an airy place to dry, after which you fill a jar halfway and cover with sunflower/ Olive oil

It is important to keep it in a dark place and shake everyday for six weeks at least

Strain and label your oil

Beetroot oil is something you should try out and besides harmattan is almost upon us and this means our herbs will dry faster and make infusions easier

What do you use beetroots for?

Have you recently paid lots of money for training in organic skincare yet you still feel something is missing?

This is usually the case with so many of my clients and as a skin business coach I try to make it clear that the training you need is not necessarily in the recipes alone

For instance, it is not just OK to learn how to make soap for acne, you need to understand what acne is, it's causes as well as triggers, how it reacts with different skin types etc 

When you come into this understanding, you will be able to recognize the types of acne and how to treat them and this brings about much confidence in your organic skincare business

Product testing is a thing you need to look into if you will become tops in your skin business

You want to know how?

It's easy. I got a sample of hibiscus tea from my friend, he got it as a wedding souvenir, I took it and was wowed, it was lovely

I got their address and ordered two packs immediately for my mum, ordered a pack for my friend too, she in turn travelled and some of her friends liked it, contacted me and I made the order

I gave it to another friend, her mum liked it and started to buy from them in bulk to sell

That my friend also shared her own with a colleague at work, the colleague started selling it, the list is endless

See where it started from? I got a sample 😀

I know the most difficult part of testing your Skincare products is the fact that you spent so much money making it but let me tell you this

especially if I am currently training you, I have done most of the work for you such that if you really follow me, your products will be safe and yet effective

So when you send out samples, they come back as orders and you make your money

A certain lovely lady was telling me about how much she had spent in making black soap with different ingredients and acids and all with little results and so she attended my class and made our carrot glow soap and in four days or thereabout, she was already glowing

Now, imagine if she decides to give that soap out as samples and people are glowing like that, she would soon start to sell out and smile to the bank

If you send out samples and get bad feedback, rejoice as well because you will get better and come back with a bang

So either ways, product testing is a good marketing strategy

My people, over to you, please gist me about your product tests and the results you have received so far

Let me be learning in the comments

Have I told you I love you today? 😀

Lots of love from

Someone once asked me how to start a skincare business that will bring in profit fast and would at the same time require little or no capital

You feel it is impossible right?

Wait till you read this.

I answered her the same way I am about to answer all your lingering questions in this post and if you as the reader will not only read but run with it, very soon, sooner than you think, you would be smiling to the bank to cash your millions


I would like to shine the spot light on Neem, yes, good old Neem and how it can make this millionaire status happen for you


So, the Neem tree has beauty benefits for almost every part of the body. you can use Neem for several skin conditions such as acne, eczema, various infections and even dry skin, you can also use Neem as a wonderful treatment for hair

Now that you are aware of the goodness of neem in skincare and beauty, I would give a brief on how to source it

The first thing you need to do is to get familiar with the Neem tree. Be sure you can recognise it and would not mistake another tree for it no matter how closesly related they may be. when this is done, try and locate neem trees that grow away from busy roads, factories and basically crowded places because fumes and various forms of pollutants also affect trees and their resultant
products


Look for small bush paths where you can find an abundance of Neem trees and proceed to harvest. be sure to find out that you are not breaking any rules of trespass.


Harvest your leaves, wash and air dry then take to the mill to grind. so far, you may have not spent any money up till this point except the amount paid for grinding the leaves to powder


Bring your powder home and pack them into desired containers. I will suggest the transparent polythene nylon to cut cost

You can package as low as 200 naira worth and start with 20 packs which is approximately 4,000 naira

Now, bear in mind that every body is your potential customer, this is because Neem works great for the skin and everyone has skin, the only reason you may not be able to sell is because these people do not realise that they need Neem powder

Therefore, begin to use every means possible to create awareness, not necesarily an awareness that you sell Neem powder but an awareness that they need Neem powder


Let them know, in several ways how they need Neem and what they stand to gain by using it

Slow and steady, you will see how their interest will begin to rise in your market

You must also become very vast in the knowledge of the pros and cons of using neem for the skin as well as many recipes that are easy to make by your clients

Now that business has begun, how do you turn it into a multi million empire?






Begin to reach out to small scale businesses as a supplier, by now, you would have gathered some credibility from your client base which would be a kind of 'trust builder' for your brand as well, so you would sell to those people in wholesales which means more revenue for you


As soon as you saturate this market, the next step would be to get a space that would be up to standard and apply for NAFDAC involvement, get approved, begin to package on a large scale and supply to superstores, malls and high end stores


At this point, what started as a one man 'bush hunting' business would have grown to an empire of people, factories, products and of course millions



Would you do this?

Are you excited?

Kindly let me know how you feel about this idea

This is a very important topic because most times,people tell me they have passion for this business but the major problem is how to finance it because common knowledge and the word out there is that organic skincare business is very expensive to start and maintain

while the above is true, I usually advice my protegees and anyone I am privileged to talk to that they should start small and grow with the business so that when they get up there, they would have gathered enough experience to stay up as well

and this brings us to the things we can set up and put in place and call a business without spending more than 2,000 Nigerian Naira

DRIED HERBS:

there are so many people out there who do not have the patience to dry their herbs yet they need it for their skin. herbs like neem, carrots, turmeric etc. you can buy, grate, air dry and grind to powder and then begin to sell. you can even make your own customized mix, say neem powder, lemon peel powder, camwood powder, oat meal powder and sell it as a face pack

when you get word out there, people may be skeptical at first but they will warm up to you when you refuse to give up and constantly show them that your products are of good quality

you can start with carrot worth 500 naira, turmeric roots worth 500 naira, small 80 naira oat sachet (two packs), harvest neem leaves from the tree. dry and grind them for about 300 naira. buy one pack of transparent nylon to pack them for a start and you still have change to buy small data and make noise about your herbs on social media

INFUSED OILS:
 I just love talking about infused oils because they are winners everyday. For our budget, I would go for neem and olive oil. two bottles of goya at 450 naira each and dried neem leaves that you harvested yourself. infuse for 6 weeks and begin to market. you can infuse carrots as well and or turmeric



BLACK SOAP:
This never disappoints because people are always looking for the next best soap for their skin and when you know the right things to add, you can have a basic great soap for less than 2,000 naira.

a typical recipe will have

 black soap, 600 naira,

carrot powder 1 tablespoon (100 naira),

camwood powder 1 tablespoon ( 100 naira),

 neem powder 1 tablespoon (100 naira),

 turmeric powder 1 tabblespoon (100 naira),

 1 medium lemon and 1 medium lime (100 naira)

honey 200 naira,

carrot infused coconut oil 3 tablespoons (about 100 naira as well)

half a dozen plastic containers (small size) -300

and that is it

three different ways to start an organic skincare business with 2,000 naira

in my own case, I started the business with zero capital and began making profit immediately, I would show you how I did that in another post

A lot of us by now know the essence of exfoliation and use it too but I got to find out that most people exfoliate just their face and leave out their body.

When you notice your skin isn't really glowing as it should be, if it has this dry ashy look, if your skin is lacking that soft, smooth feel then you probably need to exfoliate your body.

You could go to a cosmetic store and pick a scrub that is suitable for your skin needs but at the same time, it could be fun creating your own custom made body scrub.

Things you'l need:

an empty jar
sugar (dry skin) salt (oily skin)
1 lemon fruit
pure honey
extra virgin olive oil (Evoo)
vitamin e oil

Method
in an empty jar, mix the above ingredients to form a thick paste, make enough quantity to go round your body and don't worry if you make excess you can always store it in the fridge.
