Commercial day creams mostly contain toxic products ...
Considering the price they cost, it's still a shame!
Fortunately, there is a 100% natural homemade recipe for day cream for the face.
This recipe ultra rich and nourishing for the skin is based on an ancestral formula.
Indeed, it was designed nearly 2,000 years ago by a Greek doctor:it is the famous cerate of Galen.
Its creamy and enveloping texture leaves the skin incredibly soft and smooth .
And thanks to the recognized benefits of its ingredients, this natural cream also has recognized anti-wrinkle properties.
Don't panic, this homemade recipe is ULTRA easy to make . Watch:
- 1 tablespoon of honey (optional)
- 8 tablespoons of grated beeswax
- 200 ml sweet almond oil
- about 120 ml of rose water
- 2 small airtight containers
1. Grate the equivalent of 8 tablespoons of beeswax.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the wax and honey in the sweet almond oil.
3. Remove from heat and let cool.
4. Add the rose water drop by drop while whisking the mixture.
5. Continue adding rose water:stop only when the water begins to bead on the cream.
6. Mix for about 1 min more, until the cream cools down.
7. Put your moisturizer in small clean jars. Let cool completely before putting the lids on.
There you go, your ancestral day cream is already ready :-)
Easy, fast and cheap, right?
No more spending on expensive moisturizers like L'Oréal, Avene, Clarins, Lancôme, Nuxe, Nivea or Yves Rocher!
You can use it on the face as well as on the body, for supple and incredibly soft skin.
The little extra? You can also use it as a make-up remover!
As for the quantity, with this recipe I filled about 2 small glass jars, like these.
But if you don't have small jars at home, do like me and just use small jars of baby food.
Be aware that the cream will thin out as it cools in the jars.
I found beeswax on the internet for around €4, but you can also find it in organic stores.
Sweet almond oil is perfect for this recipe, but you can substitute it with olive oil, apricot kernel oil, or another nut oil.
Rose water brings a subtle and pleasant fragrance to the cream. For a fragrance-free cream, replace rose water with demineralised water.
You can also find rose water in large bottles in organic stores, or on the Internet for around €9.
And for an even more artisanal cream, you can also use this easy recipe for homemade rose water.
