There are so many ways you can make all these things, and I wont claim mine is the right way, its just a way that works for me - I like to be able to use my ingredients in multiple recipes so I dont need TOO many ingredients, I also like to avoid adding preservatives when I find they are unnecessary. The difference between face and body products for me is that I use more expensive, sensitive, specific ingredients in the face products like vitamin e oil etc.\r
\r
Face cream\r
- 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil or 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa butter or leave out and increase almond oil by 1 Tbsp/wax by 1/4tsp if you have acne prone skin and are concerned about coconut oil\r
- 1 tbsp shea butter \r
- 2 Tbsp almond oil \r
- 2 tsp wax \r
- 1 tsp vitamin e oil \r
- 3 tbsp aloe vera gel\r
- 5 drops essential oil or 1 inch pod vanilla beans\r
