LETS PREPARE HOMEMADE MOISTURIZER

Even if your skin type tends to be normal or oily, using a high quality moisturizer on a regular basis can be a key for improving the way your skin looks and feels. No matter whether your skin type is dry, oily or sensitive you should not skip the moisturizing step . To prepare a high quality home made moisturizer here are the few natural ingredients with the help of them you can prepare a high quality moisturizing cream.

PROCEDURE:

Take ½ cup of almond or olive oil,

¼ cup of coconut oil,

¼ cup of honey.

Optionally we have to add 1 teaspoon of vitamin E oil, 2 tablespoons of cocoa butter and finally essential oils, vanilla extract or other natural extracts to suit your preferences.

HOW TO MAKE A LOTION:

1. Mix all ingredients in a small or larger glass jar. You can even reuse a glass jar from pickles, olives or other foods.

2. Fill a medium jar with a couple inches of water and place over medium heat.

3. Put a lid on the jar loosely and place in the pan with the water.

4. As the water heats, the ingredients in the jar will start to melt. Shake or stir sometimes to include. When all ingredients are completely melted, pour into whatever jar or tin you will use for storage. Small jars are great for this. It will not pump well in a lotion pump!

5. Use as you would regular lotion. This has a longer shelf life than some homemade lotion recipes since all ingredients are already shelf stable and not water is added. Use within 6 months for best moisturizing benefits. If you want an even easier solution, make these easy Lotion Bars! Only three ingredients, take less time to make and last longer.
