Make Your Own Holistic Skincare Products
A Distance Learning Diploma Course of 10 Lessons
Do you read the contents on your favourite skincare product and wonder what they all are, especially the long chemical names? Do you wonder if they do your body any harm? Do you object to paying ‘big companies big money’ for products that only cost them pennies? Have you considered making your own products and then done nothing more because you ‘don’t have the time’, or ‘don’t know how’?
If the answer to any of the above is ‘yes’ then this course is designed for you; you will learn the basics of making products, what all the words mean, and the ingredients you need to design your own personalised skincare. At the end of this Holistic Skincare Products course, you will have all the information you need to design and produce handmade, personalised, beautifully packaged products, tailored to your needs or those of your clients, with natural ingredients.
This subject is complemented by our Aromatherapy Course.

Holistic Skincare Products Course Feedback
I have thoroughly enjoyed this Holistic Skincare Products course. I am gaining so much from all the holistic courses that I am undertaking with the school. I have been studying whilst on maternity leave in the hope that I can eventually change my career.
I am so glad that I found The School of Natural Health Sciences as your courses allow me to fit the study around my baby. I very much appreciate the ongoing support, brilliant customer service and excellent training materials.

Which distance learning study method should you choose?
Self Study: The self-study option is a faster method of study for those who feel they may not need that support. The Self Study team review each part of your course, rather than lesson by lesson, and the team will assess your work and inform you if you are making serious errors. You will not receive feedback on your work, and you may be asked to repeat an answer paper which does not reach our threshold of acceptance.
Tutored: The tutor option is for students who would like feedback on their work and who may require more support in their studies. Our dedicated Tutor Team will review your work lesson by lesson and give you feedback, where required. You can ask questions, and the team can guide you to success by helping you navigate the course material.
