Face Cream Recipes
Here are
a few of my favorite facial creams to get you started
on your personal beauty regiment.
Neroli Rose Blush
makes about 4 oz.
Ingredients:
16 grams extra virgin olive oil
4 grams borage oil
6 grams jojoba oil
4 grams rose hips seed oil
2 grams stearic acid
8 grams vegetable emulsifying wax
60 grams rose hydrosol (rose water)
1/2 teaspoon borax
1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum
4 drops beeswax absolute
2 drops neroli essential oil
2 drops rose essential oil

Directions:
1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a heat proof
glass measuring cup, such as Pyrex. Place
the mixture in a hot water bath until the waxes
are completely melted. Remove from heat. Add the stearic acid and emulsifying wax and stir well
to incorporate. Set aside.
2. In a separate Pyrex cup, combine the rose
hydrosol, borax and xanthan gum. Place the
mixture in a bath until for about 10 minutes to
warm the mix and dissolve the borax. (The borax
will not dissolve completely until you stir it
in; see next step.) Remove from heat and set
aside momentarily.
3. Stir the oils/waxes together to make sure
they are evenly combined.
4. In the separate container, stir the water
ingredients to make sure they are evenly
combined.
6. Begin stirring the oil/wax mixture with an
electric mixer and add the water mixture as you
stir. You will see the mixture begin to thicken
as you blend it. Continue mixing until until
Road Map Relief is thick and rich. This may take
up to 20 minutes. Add the aromatic oils after
the cream forms and stir gently to incorporate.
Pour into clean jars.
7. Store in the fridge between uses if you'd
like to extend freshness. Ingredients:
No More Wrinkle Cream recipe
1 ounce glycerin
1 ounce witch hazel
1/2 ounce rose water
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons wheat germ oil
Combine ingredients in a glass or ceramic bowl
and gently whisk until they are thoroughly
combined. Store the emulsion in a tightly sealed
container at room temperature. It should last
for at least 1 month.
Massage the solution into the skin around your
eyes and mouth, using a circular and upward
motion.
Coconut Cleansing Cream recipe
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon glycerin
2 teaspoons water
Melt ingredients together over very low heat
until liquid. Remove from heat. Beat as the
mixture cools to emulsify. Store in an airtight
jar and keep in the refrigerator since coconut
oil has a very low melting point. After use,
follow with an astringent.
