Today I had a huge craving for making my own homemade facial cream, since mine has finished yesterday. So I made up these cream for oily/combination prone to blemishes and acne skin. That just turned out to be amazing enough to share with you! So here we go!

Preparation time: about 20 minutes

Difficulty: 2 of 5

Ingredients:
* 10 grams of beeswax
* 1 tablespoon of shea butter (ignore, if you don’t have it)
* 2 tablespoons of rose water
* 2 tablespoons of almond oil
* 10 drops of tea tree oil
* 10 drops of lavender essential oil

Instructions:

Step 1.
Take two double boilers, mixing utensil, table spoons, mixer and cream container. Before you begin to make a homemade product, make sure that you thoroughly clean the area that you are working in, and wash your hands completely. Make sure to also wash and sterilize tools that you may use.

Step 2.
Melt beeswax and shea butter in a double boiler. Meanwhile heat the rouse water in a separate double boiler.

Beeswax with shea butter are melting in a double boiler

Rose water is heating in a separate double boiler

While beeswax and shea butter are melting, slowly stir them with the mixing utensil.

Woohoo! Everything is melted

When the beeswax and shea butter are melted completely, time to pour in 2 tablespoons of almond oil and remove beeswax from a heater (don’t stop to stir). And now is a very important moment. Shake with a mixer previously mixed ingredients (beeswax, shea, almond oil) and very very slowly start to pour in the rose water. Again very very slowly (!) drop by drop. Otherwise water can separate from the oils and you will receive thick, incomprehensible substance. Continue to shake with a mixer and you should receive creamy medley, something like this:

Creamy medley, but not the cream

After the medley get cooler drop essential oils. In our case 10 drops of lavender and 10 drops of tea tree oils. Remember essential oils are always goes last. Care the cream in a fridge by all means. AND NOW!!! (Fanfare and drum roll…) creeeeam!
