Daily Moisturiser with cucumber and Aloe
Sep
Creating a daily moisturizer with cucumber and aloe is a refreshing and hydrating skincare option.
Method:
Gently melt all the oils and butters and emulsifying wax together in a stainless steel pot on the stove top until just melted. Add this to the hot water and commence blending immediately. You can use a spatula or an electric blender. I find using a stick blender to be more efficient than by hand for this process. Blend it well for a approx 2 minutes (if you are using a stick blender), allow to rest and while the cream is cooling blend for a few minutes every now and then until cooled and smooth. Then add your essential oil or extracts of choice and lastly add the preservative.
