This all-in-one natural face cream helps fade dark spots, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and prevent acne. It’s made with skin-loving ingredients that hydrate, heal, and protect the skin without harsh chemicals.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel (fresh or store-bought pure aloe)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (extra virgin)
- 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil (from capsules or bottle)
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
- 5-6 drops tea tree essential oil (optional, for acne-prone skin)
- 3-5 drops rosehip oil or lavender essential oil (optional, for anti-aging)
Why These Ingredients Work
- Aloe Vera: Soothes irritated skin, fades scars and dark spots, and hydrates deeply.
- Coconut Oil: Rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, helps prevent premature aging and fights bacteria.
- Vitamin E Oil: Known for its scar-fading and anti-aging properties.
- Raw Honey: Natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent that fights pimples and hydrates skin.
- Tea Tree Oil: Fights acne-causing bacteria and reduces redness.
- Rosehip/Lavender Oil: Helps boost collagen, reduce wrinkles, and fade hyperpigmentation.
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix aloe vera gel and coconut oil until smooth and well blended.
- Add honey and mix again until fully combined.
- Pierce vitamin E capsules (if using) and add the oil to the mixture.
- Stir in the essential oils of your choice.
- Transfer the cream into a small glass jar or container with a lid.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days (or at room temperature for 5-7 days if it’s cool and dry).
How to Use
- For Dark Spots: Apply a thin layer to clean skin at night. Leave on overnight and rinse in the morning.
- For Wrinkles: Use as a night cream. Gently massage into face and neck using upward circular motions.
- For Pimples: Dab a small amount directly onto pimples after cleansing. Can be used twice daily.
Tips
- Always patch-test on a small area before applying to your whole face.
- For best results, use regularly for at least 2 weeks.
- Avoid using too much coconut oil if you have oily or acne-prone skin; adjust the amount or substitute with jojoba oil.
- You can make a fresh batch weekly to keep it potent and bacteria-free.
