To take care of the skin in addition to basic cosmetics, women should also take advantage of natural ingredients to provide the skin with the appropriate nutrients. One of the favorite homemade moisturizers for many women is a cream made from coconut oil, beeswax, shea butter, and vitamin E, essential oils.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil has antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties, making it great for cleansing the skin. Coconut oil also helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles by keeping your connective tissues strong and flexible.
Beeswax
Beeswax in the formula helps the facial moisturizer have a perfect texture and it has many benefits for aging skin. Beeswax has anti-inflammatory properties, is rich in vitamin A, and can act as a natural exfoliant. Using beeswax on the face provides hydration, reducing signs of aging.
Shea butter
Shea butter provides hydration, repairs damaged skin, can improve skin tone, and reduce wrinkles. It is the perfect ingredient for homemade facial and moisturizing creams.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E can help regenerate cells, improve skin tone, and reduce inflammation. Just add a few drops to your facial moisturizer, and you will receive all the additional benefits that come with it. Simply using plain vitamin E oil daily can help reduce signs of aging.
Essential oils
Some types of essential oils can be used to reduce signs of aging, wrinkles, and improve uneven skin tone. The best essential oils for anti-aging are lavender and frankincense.
Frankincense can reduce the appearance of age spots, discoloration, and dark spots.
How to make an anti-aging facial cream:
1/8 cup shea butter
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon beeswax
1 tablespoon shea butter
5 drops of vitamin E oil (optional)
3 drops of lavender essential oil (optional)
1 drop of frankincense essential oil (optional)
1 tablespoon ginger powder (This will make the facial cream non-greasy.)
Put all the ingredients (except vitamin E oil, essential oils, and ginger powder) into a small jar. Place the jar in a small pot of water.
Heat the pot over medium heat until all the ingredients in the jar have melted. Once the ingredients have melted, remove from heat.
Let the ingredients cool slightly, then add the vitamin E oil, essential oils, and ginger powder. Stir until combined and store in a cool place.
When using, massage a small amount of the cream onto the face after cleansing and using a facial toner. It is best to use it at night and let it absorb into the skin overnight. Serum can be used before or after moisturizer.
