Homemade Moisturiser For Dry Skin
A moisturiser for dryness tends to be thick and
dissolves into the epidermis deeply for ultimate
hydration. For a beautiful homemade moisturiser for
dry, flaky skin, you’ll need exactly five ingredients:
shea butter, aloe vera, jojoba oil, honey and a few
drops of your favourite essential oil.
Ingredients
• Shea Butter 3 Tbsp.
• Jojoba Oil 1 Tsp.
• Aloe Vera 1 Tsp.
• Honey 1 Tsp.
• Favourite Essential Oil (Lavender) 5-10 drops
Sometimes, tending to skin dryness is an uphill
battle, but ingredients like shea butter, honey, and
jojoba oil are naturally capable of banishing the
very cause of it. This is a non-greasy moisturiser
that doesn’t take time to sink into the skin, and can
be lathered on hands and feet too.
Method
• Melt shea butter and add all the other ingredients.
• Put it into the refrigerator and let it solidify for 10 minutes.
• Take the mixture out and whisk it for a few minutes.
• Use a hand whisk or an electric whisk, whichever you have on hand.
• Add the mixture in a tight container and store in a dry place.

Homemade Moisturiser for Aged/Mature Skin
32
Vitamin E is an essential skin-nourishing nutrient
that moisturises the skin and improves its elasticity.
More stress is given to taking vitamin E rich foods
for slowing the ageing process, though along with
that, applying vitamin E on the skin assures its
daily intake and works wonders for glowing skin.
This could also pose as a wonderful moisturiser for
reducing freckles, age spots, and dark circles.
For aged/mature skin, you can make your own
moisturiser by taking cocoa butter, vitamin E,
and coconut oil. If you’re sensitive to coconut oil,
replace it with almond oil or olive oil to keep from
developing any skin issues.
Ingredients
• Vitamin E 1 Tsp.
• Cocoa Butter 3 Tbsp.
• Coconut Oil 4 Tbsp.
• Any Favourite Essential Oil 4 drops
Method
• Melt coconut oil and cocoa butter in a double boiler. Mix
them together and allow the mixture to cool down a bit.
• Add vitamin E oil and your favourite essential oil into the
mixture. For 1 hour, place the mixture into the fridge.
• Whisk the mixture until it becomes lighter and whipped in
texture. Then place it again in the fridge for half an hour.
• Take out the mixture and whisk it again until it’s fluffy. Put into
a jar and use it at night before bed since our skin restores and
rejuvenates better while we sleep.
