Enjoy making your own homemade Day Cream
Skin protection throughout the year changes. In the summer a daily
aloe-vera moisturizer may be enough; in the winder however an
increased oil content in your day cream will offer added protection
against cold, windy, rainy weather.
Severe climates can wreck havoc on your skin, sensitive skin and
even oily skin can chap and flake under such exposure. Both problem
skin and sensitive skin can benefit from light moisturizing, combined
with nourishing and soothing substances. To ensure your day cream is
gentle, safe and contains all the natural nourishing ingredients, make
your own.

protect your skin, try these Amazing Products by Dr. Patrick Flanagan

Day Cream
Recipe:
For sensitive skin
1 tsp. bees wax
1 tsp. cocoa butter
1 tsp. lanolin
3 tbsp. babassu-kernel or hazelnut oil
4 tbsp. German-chamomile hydrosol
1/4 tsp. borax powder
10 drops lavender or calendula essential oil
For acne-prone skin
1 tsp. bees wax
1 tsp. cocoa butter
1 tsp. aloe-vera gel
2 tbsp. babassu-kernel or hazelnut oil
5 tbsp. geranium hydrosol
1/4 tsp. borax powder
10 drops yarrow or myrtle essential oil
|
- Melt the beeswax, cocoa butter and lanolin (if using)
in a double boiler.
- As soon as the mixture has melted, stir in the babassu-kernel
or hazelnut oil, and then lower the heat slightly.
- Heat the hydrosol and aloe-vera gel (if using) in a
separate pan. Add the borax powder; stir until completely
dissolved.
- Remove both pans from the heat.
- Using a hand mixer or whisk, mix the hot hydrosol into
the hot waxy mixture in very small quantities. Continue
stirring until the cream has cooled.
- Add the essential oil and mix well.
- Store the day cream in a small jar, away from light
and heat.
Shelf Life
Day cream will remain usable for about 3 months
under normal conditions, but you can extend its shelf life by
following these simple tips:
- Keep your day cream in the refrigerator whenever you're
not using it; doing this will double its shelf life.
- Store the cream in several small jars, instead of one
large jar. Once you open a jar, use it within 4 weeks.
- Freeze any unused cream for future use.

Application:
After cleansing in the morning, use a small applicator to
remove a dollop of the day cream and gently smooth it onto your
face, neck and upper chest with your fingers. Rub it into your
skin with gentle motions, and then wipe off any excess with
a tissue.

Ingredient
Benefits:
Natural ingredients for consistency: Lanolin, which
is especially skin-friendly, helps to make day cream spreadable.
Beeswax and cocoa butter also add to its consistency.
Babassu-kernel oil for softness: Pressed from South
American babassu-palm trees, moisturizing, non-greasy babassu-kernel
oil can soften both sensitive and oily skins.
German-chamomile hydrosol for redness: German-chamomile
hydrosol is a watery by-product of the essential oil that helps
to soothe and heal the skin. It also protects sensitive skin
from redness and irritation. You can find this ingredient in
health-food stores.
Geranium hydrosol for clear skin: Aromatic geranium
hydrosol, distilled from the rose-geranium plant, helps regulate
sebaceous-gland activity. Regular use will help to reduce infection
and inflammation. Geranium hydrosol is available at natural-food
and herbal stores.
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.
