Homemade Face Moisturizer for Aging Skin
What you need:
- 1/4 cup shea butter
- 1 tbsp jojoba oil
- 1 tbsp pure rose water
- ½ tsp raw honey
- 1 vitamin E capsule
- 5 drops lavender essential oil
- 5 drops geranium essential oil
- 5 drops tea tree essential oil
- Pot containing hot water
- Pyrex measuring cup
- Hand mixer
- Air tight storage container
- 1-2 drops preservative (Germaben II) *
* This face moisturizer is a small batch so it wouldn’t get spoiled because it’s going to be used up fast. However, if you want to use a preservative, go ahead. You’d ideally use 1-2 drops of a preservative like Germaben II.
Directions:
- Into a Pyrex measuring cup, add ¼ cup of shea butter then place the cup into a pot containing hot water. This is to gently soften the shea butter for easy whipping. Do not let the water enter the Pyrex cup.
- When it has softened, remove from the pot and add 1 tbsp jojoba oil, 1 tbsp rose water and ½ tsp raw honey. Prick the vitamin E capsule with a safety pin and squeeze out the oil into the Pyrex cup.
- Now using a hand mixer, whip your ingredients into a fluffy white cream for 7 minutes.
- Next, add 5 drops each of lavender, tea tree and geranium essential oil and whisk again till combined.
- The final step would be to add your preservative, about 1-2 drops, then whisk one last time.
- Transfer your sweet smelling homemade face moisturizer for aging skin into a clean sealable container. Store in a cool dry place.
- Massage it onto a clean face after cleansing and toning. You can use my Green Tea Face Toner!
