There are an abundance of face creams readily available to buy in stores, but you can make your own face creams at home for any purpose. Since your skin requires different creams for different reasons, here are a few recipes for homemade creams to use for any occasion.
Face Cream for Dry Skin
You may have dry, flaky skin, and there are simple ways to make face creams just for that reason. Using coconut as a moisturizer helps keep your skin soft and smooth, and using it overnight ensures that your skin can absorb it for several hours untouched. What you need to make this cream is ½ cup coconut oil, a quarter cup of sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon each of lecithin and lemon juice.
Put all the ingredients into a blender until it has a thick consistency. When combined, you get moisture from the coconut, rejuvenated cell tissue from the lecithin and clean, sun-protected skin from the lemon juice and sesame oil. No need to heat anything; just mix together, rub into your skin every night and wake up the next morning and feel the rejuvenation.
Iron Out Those Wrinkles
Spending money on wrinkle-reducing creams can destroy your wallet. Instead, use this cream at home and notice the tightness of your skin return. Orange is the main ingredient since it energizes the skin and fights against sun damage. For moisture, you will use a small amount of almond oil. What you want to do is combine one egg, one teaspoon of almond oil and eight drops of orange essential oil. When whipped together, you get a thick face-firming cream. Apply this to your face and neck for about 15 minutes at a time twice a day. Your skin will begin to tighten and regain the elasticity it once had before the wrinkles occurred.
Face Cream for Acne Care
We all know acne is tough to deal with, so anything you can do to clear up your skin naturally is a great thing. All you need is one teaspoon each of honey, jojoba oil and olive oil; one egg yolk; and between half a cup and a full cup of oatmeal. The oatmeal is used as a thickening and skin cooling agent. The jojoba oil is a natural antibiotic and stops skin inflammation, while the olive oil replaces your natural oils by making the body think it is producing too much and will then slow down its production. Mix all the ingredients together and add more oatmeal to make it as thick as you would like.
Make sure to clean your face first with warm water and a cloth to rid your skin of dead cells and oils. Apply this mask at night for 10 minutes, rinse off, and try not to touch your face. If you repeat this daily, you should begin seeing results within a week. Make sure to continue using the mixture to rid yourself of acne as painless and naturally as possible.
