Skin care products made with natural ingredients are very effective at reducing wrinkles, tightening and smoothing the skin and keeping it youthfully elastic and supple. It's not only a safer bet for your health, but also for your physical appearance, to stay closer to nature than to toxic ingredients thought up and created in a laboratory.

Ingredients

• 6 Tbsp Almond oil
• 1/4 cup Cacao butter
• 3 Tbsp Shea butter
• 2 Tbsp Coconut oil
• 1 Tbsp Beeswax
• 2/3 cup Floral water, aka Hydrosol (Sandalwood)
• 1/3 cup Aloe vera gel
• 1/2 tsp Vitamin E oil (14,000 ui)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 10 drops of Essential oils

I used these essential oils: Orange, Frankincense, Lemongrass, Patchouli


Directions

Sterilize the jars that you will store your cream in, in boiling water. I reused jars and so this was necessary. If you use new jars they will come pre-sterilized.


While containers are sterilizing, melt cacao butter, shea butter, coconut oil and beeswax all together in a double boiler, or in a bowl over a pot of hot water.



Meanwhile, mix the floral water (hydrosol) and aloe vera gel in a bowl.


After oils are melted allow them to cool slightly and then add to blender along with the almond oil and blend. Slow down blending and stream in the hydrosol and aloe vera in the top of the blender jar while still blending. Blend for a few minutes until cream becomes thick and fluffy. Add the essential oils, vitamin E and vanilla and blend until they are mixed in completely.



Dry sterilized jars and then pour cream into jars. Put caps on jars and store any cream that you will not be using with the next month into the fridge. Refrigerated cream should keep for several months, and up to a year.

Slather all over and luxuriate in the heavenly scent and smooth feel of your skin!!
