Winter is definitely creeping its way in and that means one thing...dry skin! I suffer from this a lot, especially now that i'm living back home in London my skin gets super dry with the hard water. Over the years i've tried many well known body creams but nothing seems to work as well as this! I can't even tell you how good this stuff is! It really moisturises like nothing i've ever used before. I would recommend using it at night and sparingly for that matter as it can tend to get a bit greasy.
As this is a all natural body cream I had to list just a couple of benefits of the ingredients :)
Coconut Oil
- Moisturisers
- Has anti ageing proporties
- It can help treat skin infections such as eczema
Almond Oil
- Moisturises
- Lightens dark circles
- Can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
Vitamin E
- Moisturises
- Protects skin from UV rays
- Helps fade blemishes and marks
You Will Need:
- 3/4 Cup Organic Coconut Oil
- 1/4 Cup Pure Almond Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Organic Pure Vitamin E Oil
- 10 drops of Vanilla extract
- Optional- 2 drops Pink food dye
1) Combine the coconut oil and almond oil in a bowl using a hand blender or a mixer. Chill in the fridge until it has a creamy consistency. Then using the hand blender mix for 4 minutes.
2) Add in the Vitamin E oil, Vanilla extract and food dye.
3) Mix together until it becomes the consistency of angel delight or custard (yum angel delight!!)
4) Transfer the cream into a air tight container and your done!
Disclaimer: Keep out of sunlight store in a dark place. This is my own home remedy perfect for dry skin but if you are allergic to any ingredients do not try this. If you have any questions or queries please feel free to ask me. A little does go a long way, so its best to use small amounts at a time.
