MAKING A 7-SKINS TONER | Behind the Scenes

Today I’m taking you behind the scenes as I test out a new formulation that I’m working on for a hydrating 7-skins toner. Here’s my very first attempt at creating my dream toner!

Loved watching you do some mixology. 😢 was sad you didn’t apply it and show us what you thought afterwards. Please, do some more! Thank you Shelly for bringing us along in your 1st 7 skin Essence Formulation/ mixology. Love this. Please, next time try it with us ok. 😊

[@libbys1256]

Love the ingredients. I don't mind having tacky/sticky skincare at night. It doesn't bug me.

[@CatKim2]

Very cool to see the process.

[@StephiesCorner]

Thanks for showing this! I use two scales in my candle making, too. It's amazing how much difference a few tenths of a gram can make in formulations. I love the experimentation and discovery process. ❤ I can't wait to try it out.

[@patriciamitcheltree7862]

That was fun. Love the mixology. Sounds like a great product in the works.

[@RhondaMcLennan-s2g]

Loving your new hair style Shelly , ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@engelneen1686]

thanks for sharing this journey. I have super dry dehydrated skin also.

[@micheleg81]

That was cool Shelly! Looking forward to more.

[@aliciapaul132]

Great video! Hope to see more formulation videos!

[@juliemcmahan1207]

I've always wondered... I love this! Thank you!

[@donnagill9956]

Exciting!!!

[@susanr4663]

That's awesome

[@Sharon-Australia]

Loved seeing you mixing all of these exciting ingredients together. Creating your own pruduct and knowing exactly what's in it. Looks sexy is that weird lol😂

[@goow]

Not weird at all! LOL it's probably my favorite thing about all of this - just knowing exactly what each thing is there for and what's in it.

[@themerz6982]

Wow! I love it.

[@goow]

I have way too much fun with this stuff. I'm trying to figure out how I could fit another camera in my making room to film talk-throughs.

[@bluevictory1010]

I would humbly suggest maybe replacing the snail secretion with manuka honey because it's also wound healing and antibacterial. Unless of course you're allergic or it's too tacky and or sticky. 😊

[@goow]

I'll take a look at manuka honey - I have not worked with that yet! Thanks!

[@wyattlightning]

Girlfriend, your face and neck are looking slender. Keep up the good work.

[@goow]

Thanks!!
