Gather Your Ingredients
Before you begin, gather all the necessary ingredients for your homemade face cream. You’ll need:
- 1/4 cup of shea butter
- 1/4 cup of coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon of rosehip oil
- 1 tablespoon of argan oil
- 10 drops of lavender essential oil
- 5 drops of frankincense essential oil
Make sure to invest in high-quality, organic ingredients to maximize the effectiveness of your face cream.
Mix and Melt
Place the shea butter and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of boiling water, creating a makeshift double boiler. Gently melt the ingredients together, stirring occasionally until they are fully liquefied and well combined.
Add the Oils
Remove the bowl from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Once slightly cooled, add the rosehip oil, argan oil, lavender essential oil, and frankincense essential oil to the melted mixture. Stir well to ensure all the oils are evenly distributed.
Whip it Up
Transfer the mixture to a clean, dry glass jar or container. Allow it to cool completely to room temperature. Once cooled, use an electric mixer or a whisk to whip the mixture for a few minutes until it turns creamy and fluffy in texture.
Time to Use
Your natural face cream is now ready to use! Apply a small amount to your face and neck, gently massaging it into your skin using upward circular motions. The cream will nourish and hydrate your skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and radiant.
Storage Tips
Store your homemade face cream in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use within 2-3 months for the best results, as natural ingredients may have shorter shelf lives compared to commercial products. Always perform a patch test before using the cream for the first time to ensure you don’t have any allergic reactions.
