It really is very simple, and cheap to make your own facecream & your face will be thanking you for it for years to come. This cream is lush and smells simply fantastic. This cream is great for the more, ahem, mature skin, however, any skin will love it.
You will need a paddle pop stick (you can get these from the art shop) & a glass jar (I got mine from the chemist really cheaply)
100 grams plant based cream or aqueous cream (I get a big tub of this from the chemist)
5 drops of vitamin E oil
5 drops of evening primrose oil
5 ml of jojoba oil or wheatgerm oil
20 drops of rosewater
10 drops of frankincense essential oil
25 drops of rose essential oil
5 drops of jasmine essential oil
5 drops of neroli essential oil
Mix these all together with the paddle pop stick & spoon into the glass jar. Massage into your skin twice a day after cleansing your face. Be careful to only use cleanser on your face in the evening as hot water is ample for your skin in the morning.
Make sure that you use essential oils as the fragrant oils do not contain the necessary aromas needed to help your skin. If you find that you do not like particular oils, you can play around with the mix. I have found that this mix is quite good for my skin.
I'm definitely going to give this a go!!
