Harmony Health Coaching

Last week, I blogged about my new aromatherapy body lotion that I am loving. This week I want to let you know about my homemade face lotion I have been using since the first of the year. It only has three simple ingredients, coconut oil, cocoa butter olive oil. I really like how smooth it makes my skin feel. I do feel it takes a couple of weeks for your skin to adjust, but it is totally worth it. If you use something natural that you really like, please feel free to leave a comment and share it with me.

Natural Face Cream

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 2½ tablespoons cocoa butter
• ½ tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a small pan or double boiler and heat until the coconut oil and cocoa butter melt.
2. Remove from heat and allow to cool. If you want to add some essential oils, like lavender, you can do so after the mixture cools.
3. Place in a small sealed jar and shake vigorously, let it sit for a few minutes and shake again.
4. Depending on the temperature, the mixture may solidify similar to how coconut oil/cocoa butter do on their own. In the winter the cream will usually be solid. You just have to use your finger to get a little bit out of the jar, rub it around in your palms or between your fingers to warm it up a bit and then apply.
