Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream






I've been working on perfecting my own homemade all-natural anti-wrinkle cream and testing it out myself to prove that it would achieve results.  I wanted an easy to make product that would last for a few months and would have the most beneficial ingredients to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines.  Through my research, I found many organic and natural ingredients for making anti-wrinkle creams, until I finally found the best combination to share with you.  I've been using my anti-wrinkle cream for over a month now and I'm extremely pleased with the results.  Try it out for yourself and let me know how you like it!


Ingredients:

1/2 cup  sesame oil
1/2 cup  coconut oil (virgin unrefined)
1/4 tsp  pure vitamin E oil or 3 gel caps (cut open & squeezed)
1/4  cup beeswax pastilles
10 drops (approx.) organic rosehip seed essential oil

Directions:

Combine sesame oil, coconut oil and beeswax pastilles into a pint sized canning jar.  Put the jar into a saucepan and fill the saucepan with water to about 3/4 of the way up the jar, being careful not to get any water into the oil.  Heat on medium-low and stir until melted. Take the jar out of the saucepan and cool at room temperature or refrigerate to speed up the process.  While cooling, stir mixture with a wooden stick vigorously every 15 minutes or so.  

Once the mixture is at room temperature, add the vitamin E oil and the rosehip seed oil and stir.  This is your cream!

Many people expect the effects of an anti-wrinkle cream to show overnight, but you need to be patient and let your skin regenerate in order to see the difference.  On average you should see results between 30-37 days. 


Ingredient skin benefits:

*Sesame oil and beeswax pastilles work to moisturize the skin, to keep skin soft and smooth and protect the skin surface.

*Coconut oil provides natural skin benefits that helps give you an almost flawless, spotless and ageless complexion.  Coconut oil contains anti-microbial and anti-toxin properties.  It won't clog your pores, but instead can effectively clear out your pores.

*Vitamin E oil (pure d-alpha tocopherol) carries amazing benefits for skin cells.  Vitamin E oil can help fight the signs of aging, protect the skin from sun damage, wrinkles, lines and age spots.

*Rosehip seed organic essential oil is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, especially vitamin C and vitamin A (retinol) which corrects UV damage from the sun. Rosehip seed oil also reduces fine lines, wrinkles and age spots.


Tip:  Do not use any ingredient if you are allergic to it.  A patch test is always recommended for first time use.
