Homemade Moisturizing Cream Moisturizing is an important part of daily skincare. Leaving it out might quickly cause redness or flaking, and in time it can allow wrinkles and other aging signs to show up on your skin earlier than they otherwise might. Also, if you have sensitive skin, moisturizing regularly might help ease some of the irritation. You can easily make your own moisturizing cream at home avoiding nasty chemicals. I have chosen to show you how to make a very soothing and nourishing moisturizing cream with Aloe Vera, Sweet Almond, Coconut and Vitamin E oils. This cream can be used as a hand, body & facial moisturizer by the whole family. Recipe You need: 3/4 c of Aloe Vera Juice 1/8 c of beeswax 1/4 c of Sweet Almond oil 2 T Coconut oil 1/2 t Vitamin E oil 6 drops Sweet Orange essential oil 2 drops Lemon essential oil Sterilise your jars or containers with boiling water & set aside. Put a large saucepan of water onto boil. In a glass jar mix the bee’s wax, coconut & sweet almond oil & put this into your saucepan of water to heat so that it can melt. In another glass jar pour in your Aloe Vera & allow this to also heat up slightly in the saucepan of water. Once your wax has melted into your oils, take both jars out of the hot water. Gently pour your heated Aloe Vera juice into your melted wax & oil mix & stir to combine. If you have a blender or stick blender this cream will combine easier. As the mix starts to cool blend it on a low setting (or vigorously beat with a fork) until the cream comes together & there is no separation of oils & liquids. Once cream is lukewarm add your essential oils & vitamin E oil & stir in well. Pour your cream into your sterilised jars & store in the refrigerator. I suggest you to leave a small 20ml jar of cream out in the bathroom and to keep a large jar of cream in the refrigerator, to top up from as we use it. This way you won’t have any spoilage and you don’t have to put any preservatives in your cream.
