I know this website is dedicated to beauty on the INSIDE but outside counts too right????
I once had a bad reaction to some kind of serum or moisturizer so i decided to make my own. It started when i was pregnant and i would make something good for the stretch marks (FYI I have NO stretch marks). Then i realized in the winter my hands got super dry and my face sometimes would get dry too. It was then i did a bit more research to make a cream for both hands, face and body! I’d like to share this with you with hopes you will try it too!
Severe Winter Almond Cream
Ingredients:
10 drops of Francinsence
5 drops of Vitamin E oil
1/3c Almond Oil
1/3c African Shea butter
1/3c Coconut oil
10 drops Almond Extract
Directions: Use a hand or stand mixer and mix it all up until it whips into a nice cream.
I apply this on my face and hands at night. It’s greasy but only for a few minutes. Then it seeps into your body and starts to work its magic. I don’t recommend wearing this on your face in the morning. If your hands are very dry apply to your hands and wait about 10 minutes until you go outside and put on gloves!
After Sun Aloe Vera Cream
Great for after those sunny beach days when you want your skin to stay hydrated, tan and smooth!
Ingredients:
1c Coconut Oil
2 tbsp Shea Butter
1 1/2 blocks beeswax
2 tbsp olive oil
2c aloe vera gel
wintergreen extract (vanilla, almond, peppermint also works well)
Directions:
First melt the first 4 ingredients together. Heat a small pot with some water and place a stainless steel bowl on top. Mix until all liquid.
Let it sit for an hour
Add the aloe vera gel and extract and whip with a stand or hand mixer until well combined and smooth! Add extract at the end for the scent!
