Top 10 DIY Face Creams For All Skin Types
So, here is the next addition to my DIY series. Face cream is a basic skincare product that we use daily but buying a good branded face cream can burn a hole in your pocket. Moreover, there are so many options to choose from should you go for the anti- ageing or the spot free one.
Obviously, you can’t go for all of them even if you have multiple requirements. Firstly, they are too expensive and secondly, you can’t apply all of them.
The best part about using a homemade cream is it uses natural ingredients which can tackle not just one but multiple skin problems and they are way cheap than any good commercially available cream.
So, before you start making your own face cream using these simple recipes keep one thing in mind most of the recipes use shea butter and beeswax. Do not heat them directly but use a double boiler and if you don’t have a double boiler take a wide pan, add some water to it and place a bowl over it, your double boiler is ready.
