When the weather gets warm, I move to a dusting of baby powder in the morning to help keep me fresh and dry. I like to craft a powder from natural items and ground herbs that I can adjust based on my needs of the season. This blend is a combo of cornstarch and baking soda with herbs and spices.Basic Herbed Baby Powder

Grind any herbs that are not powdered, then measure into baking soda and cornstarch in a glass or ceramic bowl. Pure resulting mixture into a large glass jar, covered, for two
weeks, allowing scents to blend. Shake
jar well every other day.Optionally you can also add 10 to 20 drops total of match essential oils.
