Make Your Own Cold Cream

Who knew that cold cream has so many uses? Ever since I’ve discovered it, I am completely addicted! This pretty amazing formula acts as a moisturizer, deep-cleanser, acne treatment, make-up remover and face mask! The best part of it all is you can buy it at the drugstore (classic brands like Noxzema and Pond's), or whip up a jar right in your very own kitchen. Try this recipe below and see how much your skin will thank you!

Ingredients 

• 2-3 tablespoons of cosmetic grade beeswax pellets (or grated beeswax)
• 1/4 cup organic extra virgin coconut oil
• 1/2 cup organic extra virgin olive oil
• 2-3 drops of lavender essential oil
• 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil (preservative)

Directions

1. Melt bees wax, coconut oil and olive oil in a saucepan on low heat. The beeswax is an emulsifier – keeps the oils from separating – and the coconut oil and olive oil are both wonderful for the skin.
2. After the oils and beeswax are melted, add the lavender and vitamin E oil.
3. Pour into a tempered glass bowl or stainless steel bowl.
4. Blend with either a hand-held blender or use a standing mixer.
5. Blend on medium speed for a few minutes, then on high for another few minutes.
6.  Once it turns thick and creamy you have the perfect consistency.
7. Pour into a wide-mouthed jar for easy access.
8. Let it sit for a day so that it will harden a bit more
