Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons pure collagen powder
- 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or jojoba oil for a lighter option)
- 1 teaspoon rosehip seed oil
- 1 teaspoon shea butter
- 5 drops essential oil of your choice (lavender or rose are great options)
- 1 vitamin E capsule (optional, for added skin benefits)
Instructions:
1. Melt the Base Ingredients:
- In a small, heat-safe bowl, combine the shea butter and coconut oil (or jojoba oil).
- Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler. Gently heat until the ingredients are melted and well combined.
2. Add Collagen and Aloe Vera Gel:
- Remove the bowl from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Stir in the collagen powder and aloe vera gel until the mixture is smooth.
3. Incorporate Rosehip Seed Oil and Vitamin E:
- Add the rosehip seed oil and the contents of the vitamin E capsule (if using) to the mixture. Stir well.
4. Scent and Customize:
- Add 5 drops of your chosen essential oil. Mix thoroughly.
5. Cool and Set:
- Pour the mixture into a clean, sterilized container. Let it cool completely at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for a quicker set.
6. Usage:
- To use, apply a small amount of the cream to your face and neck, gently massaging it into your skin. Use daily for best results, especially at night, to help rejuvenate your skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Note: Always do a patch test before using any new skincare product to ensure you don’t have an allergic reaction.
This homemade face cream harnesses the benefits of natural collagen and nourishing oils to help rejuvenate the skin, potentially reducing the appearance of wrinkles, even at the age of 50 and beyond!
