If you're looking to pamper your skin without breaking the bank, making your own face cream at home is a fantastic option. Not only is it super easy, but you also get to control what goes into it. Let’s dive into a simple recipe that will leave your skin feeling soft and nourished.
What You’ll Need:
- 2 tbsp Jojoba Oil (or any other fixed oil like almond or olive oil)
- 2 tbsp Shea Butter (or cocoa butter for a richer texture)
- 2 tbsp Emulsifying Wax (this helps blend the oils and water)
- 2 tbsp Distilled Water (for hydration)
- Optional: A few drops of your favorite essential oil for fragrance (like lavender or tea tree)
Instructions:
- Melt the Base: In a double boiler, combine the jojoba oil, shea butter, and emulsifying wax. Heat gently until everything is melted and well combined.
- Add Water: Remove from heat and slowly stir in the distilled water. Mix until you achieve a creamy consistency.
- Scent It Up: If you’re using essential oils, add them now and mix well.
- Cool and Store: Let the mixture cool slightly before transferring it to a clean jar. Once it’s completely cool, seal it up and store it in a cool, dark place.
Tips for Use:
- Apply a small amount to your face after cleansing, and enjoy the hydration!
- This cream can last for about 2-3 weeks if stored properly.
A simple, natural face cream that’s perfect for keeping your skin happy and healthy. Have fun experimenting with different oils and butters to find your perfect blend!
