Since I can remember, my mother Jeanette has always taught me about the importance of taking care of your skin and anti aging remedies. I can remember being about 3 years old and knowing that I needed to apply lotion to my body after every shower. I really appreciate that about my mom. Now that I am getting older and nearing mid 30's, it's important to start incorporating anti aging skin care into my everyday wellness plan. I am so happy to have found the essential oils because they work for everything, especially anti aging. Here is why I choose the oils and the recipe for the ultimate anti-aging cream:
Raw cocoa butter: Has an unusually high amount of antioxidants which promotes skin tone and elasticity.
Virgin coconut oil: Minimizes wrinkles by promoting collagen reproduction.
Jojoba oil: Enhances the elasticity of skin and fades wrinkles.
Sweet almond oil: High in vitamins A, E, D and B which are essential to keeping your skin young and supple.
Frankincense: Powerful astringent which helps reduce blemishes, the appearance of large pores and wrinkles. It uplifts and tightens skin.
Lavender: Promotes tissue regeneration reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Carrot seed oil: Detoxifies and stimulates the rejuvenation of cells and tightens saggy skin.
Vitamin C crystals: Promotes collagen production and heals damaged skin.
What You Will Need:
1/2 Cup Cocoa Butter (found HERE)
1/4 Cup Virgin Coconut Oil (found HERE)
2 Tbsp jojoba oil (found HERE)
2 Tbsp sweet almond oil (found HERE)
15 Drops Frankincense (found HERE)
15 Drops Lavender (found HERE)
15 Drops Carrot Seed Oil (found HERE)
1 TBS vitamin C crystals (found HERE)
Glass containers (found HERE)
Note: It's super important to use 100% therapeutic grade essential oils, especially on your face. I recommend and stand by Young Living essential oils because I know they are the purest oils on the market. You can learn more about how to become a Young Living wholesale member HERE. This is the best way to order oils because you get super high quality oils at a discounted price.
Directions:
In a double boiler, melt down the cocoa butter. Once it is melted add to separate bowl, add vitamin C crystals, coconut, jojoba, and sweet almond oil; then place it in the refrigerator and let harden slightly. Once harden, add essential oils, mix to a whipped butter like consistency with hand blender, Kitchen Aid, whisk or anything comparable. Add to a glass container and BOOM, you’re done! I apply to my face, neck and chest every morning and every night (a little goes a long way) and about 2-3 times a week I apply to my entire body. I completely notice a difference since I have been using this cream, I know you will too. Enjoy!
