Enjoy making your own homemade Anti-Wrinkle Cream

Anything that robs the skin of moisture can lead to wrinkles.

As you mature, youthfully taut skin begins to show unwelcome signs of wear and tear. As you age the production of collagen and elastin slows resulting in fat cells that are less plump. As a result the effects of gravity are made visible. As these aging effects appear, women and some men turn to commercial moisturizers, wrinkle treatments and anti-aging creams. These may only temporarily plump up the skin and may contain ingredients that aren't necessarily of benefit to the skin.

What is your skin eating?

Tip: For wrinkles on the neck, use a wrap with 2 tsp. of warm, unrefined peanut oil and 4-6 drops of rose-hip-seed oil, letting it work overnight. Abundant in vitamin-E, this mix penetrates deep to provide the skin with intensive nourishment.

Anti-Wrinkle Cream Recipe:

2 oz. apricot-kernel oil
2 oz. avocado oil
1 tsp. lanolin
2 tsp. melted, unrefined beeswax
4 oz. rose hydrosol
1/2 tsp. pure honey
1/2 tsp. borax
330 drops neroli essential oil

Heat apricot and avocado oils with the lanolin and the beeswax in a double boiler until warm and melted. Do not allow it to simmer. Remove from heat.
In a separate pan, heat the rose hydrosol, honey and borax until the borax is dissolved. Stir it well, and remove from heat.
When both mixtures have cooled to the same temperature, blend the mixture from step 2 in a clean blender running at medium speed. Slowly drizzle in the oil mixture until it's as thick as a frosting. This should happen quickly. Add neroli essential oil and blend for 5 sec. more.
Scrape the cream out with a rubber spatula and place in sterilized, 1-cup glass containers. Note: Glass containers are excellent for use with natural skin-care creams BECAUSE THEY CAN BE STERILIZED. Boil the jars in water for 5-10 min. Germs, such as bacteria, are killed at high temperatures. This removes oily residue from the jar, as well. Don't forget to clean the tops, too. Simply wipe them with isopropyl alcohol.
Store the cream in the refrigerator for maximum freshness.

Hygiene Tips

Emulsions that are based on watery ingredients, such as rose hydrosol, do not last as long ass creams made purely of fat, such as oils or waxes. Therefore, don't use the anti-wrinkle cream for more than 3 months, or it will separate, causing mold and bacteria to grow and multiply rapidly. Wash your hands well before scooping cream out of the jar; or, if you prefer, you can use a clean spatula or a teaspoon to prevent bacterial contamination.

Application:

Remove a peanut-sized dab of cream from the jar with a spatula or a teaspoon. After cleansing, stroke it over your face, around your eyes and over your neck and upper chest. To tone and stimulate your skin, massage the cream in gentle upward circles; or, to alleviate puffiness, massage in circular downward strokes. After 10 minutes, remove excess cream.

Ingredient Benefits:

Oils for delicate skin: Apricot-kernel oil contains vitamin A and has a light consistency, allowing it to penetrate deep into the skin. Hazelnut oil has a high vitamin-E content and is especially nurturing because of its unsaturated fatty-acid content.

Avocado oil to fight wrinkles: Avocado oil is rich in vitamin A, B, D and E and lecithin, all beneficial for moisturizing, preventing the formation of liver spots and protecting the skin from sun damage. Eating avocados or other foods rich in these vitamins will also work to help protect the skin.

Lanolin for a creamy consistency: Lanolin added to antiwrinkle cream gives it a fine consistency. It's obtained from cleaned sheep's wool and is a natural moisturizing emollient and emulsifier.

Rose hydrosol for silkiness: Rose hydrosol invigorates and softens the skin and regulates pH moisture balance.

Beeswax and honey to soothe and protect: Beeswax is obtained by melting and cleaning empty honeycombs. It helps protect the skin naturally against bacteria because it contains antibacterial propolis. Honey soothes skin and firms tissue by plumping cells up with water.

Hydrosol - The condensed water that is left behind when plants are steam distilled to make essential oil. A little like waters made from roses and lavenders and other herbs, except more pure and a little more concentrated. You can make your own waters, just by steeping an herb in warm water and straining. Or, you can purchase hydrosols. See below. What is a hydrosol?
