Dry Skin Moisturizer Recipe

RE: Dry Skin Moisturizer Recipe Post By zeena w (Guest Post) (10/11/2008) Try aqueous cream with 10 % olive oil. I have been using it for years and it is very cheap. Aqueous cream is available for about AU$13.from chemist and olive oil from your kitchen. You can use it as moisturizer, soap, and make up removal.

This will not only freshen skin and leave you feeling fresh it will replace vitamins you have lost through over use of animal fats in soaps. Use the other half of the avocado with the egg white whisk egg white to a froth in single bowl, mash avocado in separate bowl when egg white is whisked enough place together and mix well, place onto face and leave 20 to 30 minutes, wash off with cool to tepid water, this will leave your skin rehydrated and fresh.

Warm 3/4 of mug of sweet almond oil with 3/4mug of beeswax gently in a basin over a pot of simmering water (like melting chocolate) don't let get too hot, the slower the better stirring gently. 2. Warm the rosewater in a separate pot gently. 3. Add rosewater to first mix and whisk vigorously for 5 minutes. 4. If you want extra boost for dry skin take a vitamin E tablet and burst into mixture. 5. You should be left with a cream coloured moisturiser. 6. Add 3 drops of lavender, and 1 drop of rose or sandalwood essential oils. Store in fridge....

And honey is heated to very high temperatures in baked products all the time with no toxic effects - so I am curious how valid this is. Please, what is your source for that information?

I use it every night and wake up with soft, smooth, silky and literally glowing skin! It works wonderfully on my dry skin and absorbs very quickly. If you're not so crazy about the scent, you can just add a few drops of essential oils to make it smell nicer, but I'm alright with the scent. Besides, the smell does go away within a couple of minutes. It's cheap, natural and probably sitting in your kitchen cupboard right now! (You should use Extra Virgin because it's least processed, meaning all the good 'stuff' is still in it, meaning more nourishment and it'll work more effectively) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dry Skin Moisturizer Recipe Post By vbart (Guest Post) (11/14/2006) Oh, another thought; being a "shower" (as opposed to "bath") person, I keep a plastic squeeze bottle (like a ketchup/mustard dispenser) filled with some kind of vegetable oil, scented with a bit of essential oil, in the bathroom, and use just a bit, overall, while I'm still wet...great for winter!

It is amazing; it is the only moisturizer I will use, and my son, daughter, and son-in-law are hooked, too.

I will dab it on my face, elbows and knees as needed. If I feel really dry and itchy I add some to my bath. I stand up before the bath drains and I am covered in a light layer of moisture that I only pat dry. Hope this helps.... Report Spam or Abuse
