We’re going to be using powerful anti-aging natural products in this anti-aging face cream recipe! Check out the ingredients and their benefits below:
Benefits of Each Ingredient for Skin
- Shea Butter: A natural plant butter that’s rich in nutrients that nourish and rejuvenate skin, shea butter is very useful for promoting supple wrinkle-free skin.
- Argan Oil: This beautiful golden colored oil doesn’t clog pores with its comedogenic rating of zero. What’s more is that it delivers nutrients deep into the skin and promotes cell renewal and glowing skin.
- Lavender Oil: This all-purpose essential oil is soothing and helps reduce inflammation.
- Geranium Oil: Geranium oil is a skin balancer that regulates sebum production in the skin. This enables skin to be smooth, supple and looking radiant.
- Frankincense Oil: Frankincense oil is a powerful oil for anti-aging. It is perfect for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and hydration. It’s also helpful for reducing scars and tightening the skin.
- Sandalwood Oil: Sandalwood oil is an ancient anti-aging secret. It not only boosts the skin’s suppleness and elasticity but also provides long lasting moisturization and also brightens up dull looking skin.
- Raw Honey: Filled with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, raw honey could be the most soothing thing to apply on your skin. It reduces inflammation & redness, lightens scars, rejuvenates skin cells, locks moisture into dry skin and smoothes out wrinkles.
- Rose Water: Rose water is refreshing and contains Vitamin C that boosts the skin’s collagen production. It also makes this homemade anti-aging cream light, cooling and soothing instead of heavy and greasy!
Homemade Anti-Aging Face Cream
What you Need
- ½ cup of pure shea butter (where to get it)
- 3 tbsp pure organic rose water (where to get it)
- 1 tsp raw honey (where to get it)
- 2 tsp argan oil (where to get it)
- 5 drops sandalwood oil (where to get it)
- 5 drops lavender oil (where to get it)

- 5 drops frankincense oil (where to get it)
- Double boiler (where to get it)
- Hand mixer (where to get it)
- Amber glass jar for storage (where to get it)
Directions
- Melt the shea butter using a double boiler over medium-low heat.
- Once melted, stir in the argan oil and raw honey.
- Now place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
- When the time is up, get it out of the refrigerator – it should look partially solidified.
- Add the rose water slowly by slowly while whipping your partially solidified mixture into a soft fluffy whipped cream-like consistency.
- Once everything is incorporated in a fresh white cream, add all the drops of essential oils carefully and mix again.
- Your homemade anti-aging cream is ready! Scoop it up into a clean and sterilized amber glass jar. We’re using an amber jar specifically because it protects the cream from light degradation.
- To use, apply a pea-sized amount on your clean face in a gentle massage. Use twice a day in place of your usual moisturizer or use it as a night time wrinkle treatment.
