Buying all the needed products for your skin to remain pretty can burn quite a hole in your pocket. It is simply too difficult to find one product that will offer you complete nurturing. However, you’ve probably already noticed that many of those creams have more or less similar if not the same ingredients. There is Aloe Vera, vitamin E, glycerine, squalene etc. and believe it or not, you can find all these in your own kitchen. Here are some of the best recipes for homemade creams.

Moisturizing olive oil night cream

The main ingredient of this cream is, as said, olive oil, because it locks your skin’s moisture. The other important ingredient is coconut oil because it adds beauty and health to your skin.

Mix half a cup of extra virgin olive oil with 1 spoon beeswax together in a saucepan on low heat until it is melted. Next, crush two capsules of vitamin E and add it to the mixture. Allow it all to cool. Store the cream in a container at room temperature and use it during the next 2-3 months.

Glycerine cream

This is a great winter cream, since glycerine helps restore moisture, and the other ingredient, coconut oil, replenishes your skin’s health with its antifungal powers. On the other hand, rose water in combination with almond oil will give it a fresh appeal.

Take a double boiler and add 1 tablespoon of almond oil and a tablespoon of coconut oil in it. Heat it together so the ingredients blend completely. Remove the boiler from the head and then add 1 tablespoon of glycerine and 1 tablespoon of rose water to the mixture. Store this cream in a container and use it every night before going to bed.

Aloe Vera anti-acne cream

Skin lightening cream

Turmeric is known as an old remedy for various conditions, while sandalwood and saffron add to its benefits. Yogurt makes it smooth and almonds enrich it with essential nutrients. If you use it regularly, you will get the amazing results.

Soak 7-8 almonds overnight and then peel them before grinding them into a smooth paste. Add half a cup of yogurt, a teaspoon of turmeric, 4-5 drops of lemon juice, a teaspoon of sandalwood powder and 3-4 saffron strands to the mix and blend it until it’s smooth.

This cream lasts for a week if refrigerated.

…or lotions that prevent overtanning?

However, sometimes skin lightening isn’t good for your skin, and in terms to prevent overtanning pale skin you can use some cosmetics to get tanned smoothly and without red marks (or dark spots on your skin). To get the best results in natural tanning, make sure you have an organic tanning lotion for daily use. Not only it will help you prevent getting marks from the sun, but it will hydrate your skin during hot weather.

Avocado anti-aging cream

Avocado is packed with vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, as well as minerals like magnesium and potassium. Use this cream at night to make your skin supple and soft.

Mash one avocado and make a smooth paste, add 1 egg to a blender and mix it with avocado until it all turns into a smooth paste. Apply this cream twice a week and store it somewhere dry and cold.
