This is a recipe that you can change for your own personal needs. At the time that I formulated this recipe..I was 1 and a half decades younger, when I had a approx 35 yrs old skin. I still make it every now and then for myself. (in summer) it wipes off easily but still leaves what you put on back in your skin to keep it nicely hydrated. If you have a very oily skin then switch the glycerine with water or roman chamomile extract.

Creating a luxurious cleansing rose cream at home provides gentle cleansing and hydration for the skin.

30 g Emulsifiying wax

100 g Shea butter or avocado butter ..my preference shea butter

100 g Sweet almond oil

50 g Grapeseed oil

10 ml Rose blend essential oil

100 ml rose water

100 ml Glycerine

1.80 l hot deionised water

Optional Preservative

Method:

In a stainless steel pot warm your oils and emulsifying wax together until just melted.

Add to hot water and commence stirring immediately. Stir at intervals for 3-5 minutes until luke warm.

Once luke warm add the rose water and glycerine and give it a good blending ..preferably with a stick blender.

Stir every now and then until cooled. Add Rose essential oil blend and if you need to.. your preservative.

Apply to skin in the mornings. Wipe off with a cotton pad and you will be good to go for the rest of the day.. no moisturiser needed.

But Hey.. if you are in the sun all day.. you might want to make sure you are well protected with a proper formulated SPF made by professionals. I have a whole lot to say about this topic but will make mention of it later.
