Thinking of giving your facial cream a rich and luxurious makeover in an all-natural way? You have come to the right page. In this post, we will share the DIY recipe for a super silky and divinely smelling face cream that will instantly absorb your skin without leaving any oily residue and make it fresh, soft, and supple. Let’s start:
DIY – Luxurious Natural Face Cream Recipe
Ingredients Needed:
- Organic coconut oil – 1 tablespoon
- Organic olive oil – 4 tablespoons
- Organic sesame oil – 4 tablespoons
- Organic grape seed oil – 4 tablespoons
- Pure organic aloe vera gel – 8 tablespoons
- Vitamin E oil – (1/4) teaspoon
- Beeswax pastilles – 1 tablespoon
- Organic hydrosol (floral water) – 16 tablespoons
- Essential oil – 8 to 15 drops
Supplies Required:
- A double boiler
- A blender
- A large saucepan made of stainless steel
- A medium-sized saucepan
- A medium-sized mixing bowl
- Storage container(s) of your choice
- A spatula
Get Prepared
- In a large saucepan, take all the oils, i.e., organic coconut oil, olive oil, organic sesame oil, and organic grapeseed oil. Place it over deficient heat and let the oil mixture warm up thoroughly. Make sure that it is only warm and not burning hot.
- Put the beeswax pastilles in the medium-sized saucepan and place it over low heat. It would be best if you melted the beeswax slowly until it almost liquefies.
- Pour organic hydrosol into the mixing bowl and add pure organic aloe vera gel. Blend them nicely.
- Place the double boiler over low heat and pre-warm it.
- Keep the storage containers clean and handy.
Step By Step Method
- Take the large saucepan with the melted oil mixture into the top section of the double boiler you have already pre-warmed. Pour the melted and almost liquefied beeswax into it. Ensure that the melted oil and melted beeswax mixture is in a liquid state. If the beeswax is getting complicated, heat the double boiler to reach and maintain the needed temperature.
- Pour the organic hydrosol and organic aloe vera gel mixture into the blender. Add vitamin E oil to it. Also, add essential oil drops of your choice. Blend everything for 4 to 5 seconds to prepare a smooth concoction.
- Once you finish the first blending phase, remove the lid mid-section and turn the blender on low speed. This time, you can easily see the hydrosol-aloe gel-essential oil mix moving in a whirling motion inside the blender.
- Slowly pour the melted oil and beeswax mixture into the center of this whirling content. Pour it from a considerable height so the stream becomes thin and slow. This might be challenging; however, patience is the key to this step.
- The complete mixture inside the blender will look odd at first. But as the whirling motion continues, it will begin to emulsify and get a thick, creamy texture. You will also understand that the mixture is thickening up and reaching the desired consistency by listening to the sound of blending, as it will change over time.
- Once your rich and luxurious cream is ready, turn the blender off. Scrape down the blender’s base and around the blades and mix the cream thoroughly.
- For the last time, turn on the blender and run it in a ‘pulse’ motion to give the whole thing a final mix.
- Transfer the cream to the storage container(s) immediately. Use the spatula and get all the stuff out of the blender.
- Place the containers in the refrigerator and let them sit for 2 to 3 hours. Voila!
