Day creams sold in stores today are full of stuff Wrong.
Harmful chemicals that are absorbed directly through the skin.
Do we really need to put this stuff in our body?
Let's go back 2000 years to Greece. It was then that Galen, one of the fathers of medicine, developed this moisturizing cream recipe.
It's easy to do, totally natural, and this cream can be used to remove make-up and protect the skin thanks, in particular, to beeswax which protects the skin from external aggressions.
This cream has even been shown to reduce wrinkles and signs of aging.
Would you like to try it? Here is the ancestral recipe that is 2000 years old:
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 8 tablespoons grated beeswax
- 200 ml sweet almond oil
- 1/2 cup rose water
- 2 small clean and disinfected glass jars
1. In a saucepan, mix the beeswax and honey in the sweet almond oil.
2. Heat over low heat.
3. Once the mixture has melted, remove the pan from the heat.
4. Leave to cool for a few minutes.
5. Pour the rose water drop by drop into the pan, whisking at the same time.
6. Once the rose water is well incorporated into the mixture, the cream will begin to pearl. This is when you can stop mixing.
7. Let sit for a few minutes to cool.
8. Put the mixture in the 2 glass jars and let cool completely before putting the lids on.
There you go, your homemade day cream is ready to use :-)
Your skin will be happy! No more expensive chemicals.
Be aware that the cream clears as it cools in the jars.
This cream is particularly suitable for dry skin or in treatment during the winter.
You can use this moisturizer every day, on the face or any dry areas of the body.
This cream is suitable for the whole family, from the youngest to the oldest.
If you don't have beeswax, you can find some here. Rose water here and sweet almond oil here.
