My face is so thankful that I discovered this recipe from Elliot Homestead. It will make your face greasy so I use it only at night before bed.
Things to love about this stuff:
It is much, much, much more economical than store bought face cream
It is made with natural, healthy ingredients
No toxic chemicals and words that I cannot pronounce going onto my skin
It really does make your skin feel as soft as a baby's bottom
Homemade Face Cream
1 Tb coconut oil (seriously how did I ever live without this stuff..I use it for everything!)
3 Tb shea butter
2 drops of tea tree oil aka melaleuca oil (I use Young Living for all my essential oils)
Basically you just smash all ingredients together with a spoon and mix well. Store in a jar with tight fit lid. I think this amount fit into a small 2 oz jar that I purchased from Mountain Rose Herbs. I also buy my coconut oil and shea butter from there. Tea tree oil is antiseptic and antimicrobial which is wonderful, but if it irritates your skin simply try a different essential oil such as lavender.
