We often have a different lotion or potion for every little skin niggle: for the hands, for the feet, for the face, for wrinkles, for age spots…. Put together, all these creams (even the cheap ones) add up to a pretty penny, and we don’t always even know if the ingredients are genuinely good for our skin or not. This is why we propose that you make this nourishing skin gel that calms your skin in the case of irritation and that can also treat common (but annoying) skin problems such as fine lines, stretch marks, age spots, etc. This gel reinforces the skin and naturally repairs it.
What you need:
- 7 dessertspoons (or 100 g) of unrefined virgin coconut oil
- The same quantity of aloe vera gel
- 10 drops of an essential oil of your choice
- A sealed glass container
What to do:
1) Put the aloe vera gel in a container. Add the coconut oil and mix well.
2) After stirring for 3 to 5 minutes, you will obtain a fairly smooth, homogenous mixture, to which you can add the essential oil and continue to stir.
3) Put the mixture into your glass bottle. You should keep it in a cool, dry area.
The mixture should be used after your shower, when the skin will best absorb the mixture.
Apply a small quantity of the gel in a circular massaging motion to the areas to be treated. You don’t need to rinse it off, but after an hour, remove any residue with a cloth.
