One thing that many women have in common is the desire to look their bast at any age. But, what about all of questionable ingredients added to popular skin care products, not to mention the cost!
One very effective method of taking care of your skin is by using natural ingredients to make your own lotions, creams and treatments. The best part of doing this is that you will have many of the products already in your cupboards.
Here is a great recipe for a yummy anti-aging and moisturizing cream:
* 1 ounce glycerin
* 1 ounce witch hazel
* 1/2 ounce rose water (optional)
* 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. This motion will counteract the natural droop of gravity.
If you have the time, it’s a good idea to hang your head over the edge of the bed and massage the cream in while you’re partially upside down.
