r/DIYBeauty is a subreddit with 63k members. The most common kinds of discussions are solution requests and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses diy, hair, ingredients, formulation, and diy skincare, and they frequently recommend/review body moisturiser and vanilla scent.
r/DIYBeauty is no typical DIY beauty place! We create science-based cosmetic formulations that can be made at home without a full cosmetics lab. Not a general purpose skincare subreddit. Formulations posted here may not be used for profit.
