Organic Rosehip Face Cream

I wanted to share with everybody my DIY (do-it-your self) body care products that I been  using for a few years now. Natural facial care products and skin care recipes will leave you feeling better than ever before. Although making homemade face cream products from scratch may sound hard, in reality its very easy:)
I have more recipes for body care like face wash, foot butter cream, body lotion, chapstick. I will be posting these great recipes in the future:)

     Ingredients:
3 oz oil (olive, avocado or coconut are great choices)
1.5 tablespoons Beeswax
4 oz  rose water, distilled water or herbal tea
4 vitamin E capsules (optional)
1 tsp calendula oil (optional) 

10-15 drops of essential oil for fragrance (I used rose hip seed oil)

Benefits of Rosehip seed oil: it contains Vitamin A, which helps to delay the effects of skin aging, assists with cell regeneration, and promotes collagen and elastin levels to increase.  This results in firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin with greater elasticity.  Rosehip seed oil also contains a high amount of essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, which further promotes healthy skin.  In particular, it is rich in linoleic and linolenic acids, which are important skin nutrients.  Rosehip seed oil has been used successfully to treat the following skin problems:
Stretch marks,UV damage from overexposure to the sun, Scars from surgery, burns, and acne, Eczema ,Psoriasis, Wrinkles and premature skin aging, Hyper-pigmentation, Dermatitis,
Burns, including those from radiation and sunburns, Age spots, Brittle nails, Dry and damaged hair.


Good information on essential oils





I order my stuff from Organic Creations.
In this recipe I used organic Avocado oil and Olive oil cold press. Mix oils in a glass measuring cup. Add vitamin E capsules.
Add shredded beeswax.  (I found mine at Michaels store in the candle making section or order from Organic Creations)
Put in the water bath until all beeswax melts. Then take it out and wait until it cools down.
I added calendula oil to my cream.
When it cools down  add calendula oil and rosehip oil.
Pour rose water into a mixer with an opening on the top. Turn it on.
Then pour oil into the rose water while its mixing. 
Turn it off and use a spoon to transfer cream into containers.  
I like to use 2 oz jars.  The cream feels so soft and smooth on my face and hands.
