Type of skin

This anti-wrinkle cream is specially designed for normal or dry skin, mature, sensitive or wrinkle-prone skin. Instead, it is not recommended for women under 25 or with oily skin.

The ingredients that we propose are very nutritious and have the following properties:

• hydrate in depth
• protect from the effect of free radicals
• help to regenerate the skin.

Here we explain the main benefits of these ingredients.

Coconut oil

Virgin coconut oil stands out in many health products for its incredible properties as a food and as a cosmetic. Its topical use is excellent for mixed honeys, because it hydrates and is easily absorbed. In addition, it leaves a very smooth texture and a delicate aroma.

It will be a basic ingredient in this recipe. We will also add other ingredients, with specific properties for the type of skin we want to treat.

Bee wax

Beeswax is the other basic ingredient in this wrinkle cream. Its use allows us to produce a higher density cosmetic. Coconut oil is ideal when in cold temperatures but melts easily in the heat. For this we will mix it with beeswax.
In addition, the wax helps to remove impurities from the skin and to clarify possible blemishes.

Rosehip oil

One of the most powerful ingredients in this cream is the well-known rosehip oil. This oil has been gaining popularity in recent years thanks to its anti-aging properties.

Its content of vitamins, fatty acids and antioxidants allow it to stimulate the production of collagen, as well as prevent and reduce expression lines and wrinkles. It can also be used for blemishes, stretch marks, dryness, irritation and the harmful effects of too much sun exposure. In addition, it also has a high regenerative power of the skin, thus helping us to renew skin cells.

At night we can apply this oil directly on the skin, before going to bed. However, for convenience, in the morning it will be much more practical and discreet to apply the recipe that we propose.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is beneficial, whether we consume it orally or apply it topically. It will also help this cream to preserve better, because it acts as a natural preservative.

It also has antioxidant and rejuvenating properties for the skin, as well as protecting us from free radicals.

Essential oils

Finally, to complete the recipe, essential oils could not be missing . They are used because they add an aromatic touch to the cream and because they can enhance the properties of the other ingredients.

To be exact, we recommend geranium oil. It has regenerative properties of the skin.
On the other hand, the rose one will give a delicious perfume to the cream, in addition to firming the skin.

Preparation of the anti-wrinkle

We will put the following ingredients in a glass jar:

• 20 ml of coconut oil.
• 30 ml of beeswax.

The mixture is put in a water bath, so that they melt little by little, while we mix with a spatula or other wooden, ceramic or glass utensil.

When they are already mixed, we will turn off the heat and immediately add the rest of the ingredients:

• 5 ml of rosehip oil.
• 5 ml of vitamin E.
• 5 drops of geranium essential oil (optional).
• 5 drops of rose essential oil (optional).

We will mix well and let cool.

We recommend keeping it in the fridge to keep it longer. If we live in a very warm place or want to keep it out of the fridge, we can add an additional 10 or 15 ml of beeswax. On the other hand, if we prefer a more liquid texture, we can increase the amount of coconut oil a little and reduce the amount of beeswax.
