How To Make A DIY Face Cream With Skin-Protecting Essential Oils
First, the ingredients
Natural doesn’t mean wimpy. You don’t need chemicals to hydrate, even out skin tone, and smooth fine lines; plant-made ingredients can be super potent. “The beauty of using natural ingredients is many of them are easily absorbed into the skin and sometimes way more concentrated,” says Holistic esthetician Daron Hope, founder of EarthTonics Skincare.
Of course, in the beginning, stocking up on all of these skin-nourishing supplies to make your own skincare products can be a little pricey—but if you're committed to going natural, investing in these ingredients will absolutely save you money in the long run, since they're extremely versatile and can be used in everything from DIY body butters to lip balm to beeswax candles to soothing muscle salves.
Here’s a rundown of what ingredients are in the DIY face cream recipe below and why they're so great for your skin…
Shea butter: The super-rich moisturizer softens skin and locks in moisture.
Aloe gel: Healing, calming and antibacterial, aloe helps repair skin and replenish lost moisture.
Rose water: A skin soother that reduces redness and inflammation.
Jojoba oil: A potent skin repairer and anti-inflammatory with plumping powers.
Rosehip seed oil: Superstar anti-ager loaded with antioxidants that quenches dry skin.
Beeswax: A hydrator and emulsifier that helps bind water and oil together.
Frankincense essential oil: A natural healer that can erase wrinkles and hyperpigmentation while increasing elasticity.
Rose essential oil: A proven emollient and anti-inflammatory with hydrating, moisturizing and skin-softening powers.

Directions:
1. In a double boiler, melt shea butter and beeswax together. After oils are melted allow them to cool slightly.
2. While shea butter mixture is melting, combine jojoba or rosehip, rose water, and aloe gel in a large glass measuring cup. Warm up the liquid in a double boiler (this will help it combine with the oil mixture).
3. Using an immersion blender or hand mixer, blend the heated aloe mixture until mixed completely (it will turn milky) and continue to blend while you stream in the melted shea butter mixture.
4. Blend for a few minutes until cream starts to emulsify and becomes thick and fluffy.
5. Add the essential oils and mix until combined.
6. Using a spatula, transfer cream into a large freezer bag or piping tube. Cut the tip and pipe into sterilized glass jars (four 2-ounce glass jars). Cap jars and store cream in fridge for up to one year.
7. Slather over face and luxuriate in the heavenly scent and natural ingredients.

Why is this hamster in a dessert cup next to a container of Ronnie Body Cream? I don't know. If it actually mattered to me, I could try asking the OP of these images - murasanchi_0301 on IG - but it doesn't matter, because the hamster is in a cup and all hamsters are amazingly cute and so these images are great and don't need to make any sense, they just need to be awesome. And they are.

Hi guys!
I am beyond excited to talk to you today about a brand new Charlotte Tilbury product! If you have a online account with Charlotte Tilbury you get to enjoy exclusive perks during members week! During this members week Charlotte gave us a chance to purchase the brand new Magic Body Cream exclusively! That’s right we now have a magic cream for body, I am so excited because I have said for years I wish I could just use this cream everywhere and now I can.
So let’s chat details! I purchase the 200 ml which is the full sized one for £49.00, not a bad price when I realise how big the actual bottle is (way bigger then I assumed). There will be a travel sized version which is 50 ml for £20.00 if you would prefer to try something smaller to start with. This brand new formula is designed to be a hydrating, smoothing, firming effect body cream with caffeine, hyaluronic acid and ALGAKTIV™️ UPLIFT for a nourished, radiant body glow. Honestly when you rub this cream onto your skin it makes your skin feel so soft and gives you a gorgeous glow afterwards.
I adore this cream and I'm honestly so happy they finally released a body version of the original Magic Cream. If you are a fan of Charlotte Tilbury and of course Magic Cream you will love this product. Of course £49.00 can be a lot for a body cream but if you collect Tilbury products then it's the perfect addition.
Lots of love

Кто-то наконец побаловал себя новыми масками для лица, а то они у меня расходуются со страшной скоростью 😁 Этот набор был в слегка помятой коробке, поэтому он был по скидке (всего 4.50$ за 6 масок). Я ещё не успела его испробовать, но упаковки выглядят прикольно.
Ну и конечно взяла то, что закончилось. Йогурт для тела с каким-то зимним ароматом, мыло для рук с пенообразователем тоже с хвойным запахом и миничек крема для лица. Всё таки кожа очень сохнет и ей нужен дополнительный уход 🥺 Ну и наконец взяла набор своих любимых горячих масок для глаз. Они очень хорошо расслабляют, избавляют от головной боли и помогают уснуть. В общем довольная Утоши с новой косметикой.
