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

  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

How to Use

Make up remover:  Apply a small amount (about the size of a grape) to your face and rub in a circular motion. Use a washcloth to wipe away.
Face wash: Massage cold cream on your face and wipe away with a warm washcloth. Rinse your face with warm water.
