Teen Spirit Self-Love Club: Make Your Own Natural Cosmetics

The Teen Spirit Self-Love Club offers is a Make-Your-Own Cosmetics experience designed for teens and their unique skincare needs. 

About this workshop
Choosing the right skincare is crucial, especially during adolescence, when skin is more sensitive due to hormonal changes. During this workshop we delve into the world of 100% natural cosmetics, and the power of nature to:

1. address common teen skin concerns such as breakouts and complexion, and; 
2. promote overall physical and emotional wellbeing.

But it's not just about making products; it's about self-discovery, empowerment, and embracing self-care rituals that cultivate confidence with every beautiful handmade creation.

What to expect
A mash-up of cosmetics science made simple, and hands-on making! Each participant will make beautifully packaged natural products to take home with them on the day. The products will vary per workshop, but here are some examples of what we will make:

🌿 A nourishing face oil for radiant glow
🌿 Ocean Spa soap
🌿 A clay & fruit rejuvenating face mask
🌿 A solid perfume with soothing and calming properties
🌿 A strengthening hair oil to promote healthy growth

What’s included
All ingredients, equipment, packaging and light refreshments are provided, plus take-home recipe cards to remake the products at home. Ongoing support is also provided, whenever needed.

Benefits of Make-Your-Own Cosmetics

🌟 Better Skin Health: Plant-based cosmetics are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Teen skin can benefit greatly from the natural healing properties of botanical extracts, which help promote a clear complexion and support overall skin wellness.

🌟 Social Connection: The sessions are an opportunity to pause the digital world and enter the natural one, as we explore the world of plants and their role in self-care. Crafting natural cosmetics alongside peers promotes personal connection, wellbeing, and a shared experience of creative expression.

🌟 Empowerment: Learning how to make and use natural cosmetics empowers teens to make informed choices about the products they use. It encourages a sense of self-care and a positive relationship with their skin, promoting confidence and self-esteem that extends far beyond the workshop walls.

🌟 Green & Clean: Plant-based ingredients can more often involve sustainable practices and ethical sourcing, making them a more eco-conscious choice with lower impact on our planet.

How to book
Select the workshop date from the drop-down menu, add the number of required spaces, and checkout as you would if purchasing a physical product. You will then receive an email from Jay, with essential information and an opportunity to discuss specific requirements.

Accompanying under-18s
Participants under the age of 18 must be signed up and accompanied to the workshop by an adult. The workshop will take place in a room adjacent to the main cafe area at The Hub. Accompanying adults are welcome to attend the workshop itself as a non-participant, but the workshop room is small and we can only offer standing room for non-participants. There is the option for accompanying adults to take part in the workshop, but they must purchase a participant place. 

The adjacent cafe offers a more comfortable experience for accompanying adults, or you can of course drop-off participants and return at the end of the session. They will be in safe hands!
