Luxurious Homemade Wrinkle Cream – Natural And Effective

Plant Power

Essential oils have been used for thousands of years for their natural healing properties, and today there is scientific evidence that can back up their legendary powers. They increase blood flow and oxygenate tissues, slowing down the premature aging of skin. Mix the following therapeutic-grade essential oils as directed in a small glass bowl. Use in the anti-wrinkle recipe below.

* Lemon – 3 drops
* Frankincense – 5 drops
* Lavender – 10 drops
* Rosewood – 5 drops
* Patchouli – 2 drops

Anti Wrinkle Cream

* 3 tsp jojoba oil
* 3 tsp apricot-kernel oil
* 3 tsp Rosehip seed oil
* 1 tsp beeswax, grated
* 1 tsp glycerin
* 6 oz rose water
* essential oils (as directed above)

Instructions

1. Put the jojoba oil, apricot-kernel oil and beeswax into a small pan and warm over very low heat (do not simmer, handle carefully).

2. Remove from heat and stir to blend; allow to cool slightly.

3. Using an immersion blender, blend oil while drizzling rose water and glycerin into the mixture; it should set up quickly.

4. Add essential oils and Rosehip seed oil and mix well.

5. Store in a clean, dry container for 4-6 weeks.

To apply – using your ring finger around delicate skin around eyes, don’t pull, begin at the corner of the upper eyelid and gently smooth cream outward. Apply under eyes, moving inward from the outer corner. Gently circle eyes in this way for several minutes and then wipe off excess cream with a soft cloth. Always be sure to keep your homemade beauty care products in a cool place and use quickly for best results. Do not share cosmetics and apply with clean fingers to prevent infection.

There may be no wrinkle cream in the world that can reverse years of damage to your skin, but the earlier you begin a healthy skin-care routine, the better it will look in the long run. However, the true secret to looking young is having an interest in living. That looks youthful on everyone, and it doesn’t cost a penny.
