#diyfacecream

I grabbed some time today to make my first #diyfacecream using my home grown & dried #calendula (marigold) flowers, & following the legendary @rosemarygladstar ‘s Rosemary’s Famous Face Cream recipe. The calendula and some added #lavender essential oil makes this a very gentle healing face and body cream. Looking forward to adding it to my increasingly home made beauty regime! (Once you start this homemade herbalism lark is very addictive). To make: Make a simple calendula infused oil (I used #grapeseed) and melt with beeswax, coconut oil and cocoa butter. Once mixed and cool, blend with a mix of distilled water, aloe vera and a few drops of essential oil. I’ve not mixed oil & water before so hoping it stays stable! #ecotherapy herbalism #diybeauty #homeremedies #herbalremedies #hackneyoutdoors #rosemarygladstar #rosemarysfamousfacecream #sustainableliving #aloevera https://www.instagram.com/p/CaDAozRoPD2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Watch my stories today for step by step directions on how to make an inexpensive anti-aging cream! All you need is a hand mixer or a standing mixer, coconut oil, vitamin E, aloe, and essential oils-neroli, frankincense, and immortelle, and a jar! It’s amazing and you’ll love it! I’ve been making it for years and it works. Sometimes, simple is best! #diy #diycreams #diyfacecream #beautycream #veganbeautyproducts #naturalbeautyproducts #makeyourownskincare #skincareproducts #antiaging #beautyhacks https://www.instagram.com/p/BrE9MTpHACx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kdbtcfu20ppa
