macadamia jojoba face cream



i was so excited the other day to be able to make my first face cream, after several times of unsuccessful trials, wasting much of my favorite floral waters.

i used macadamia nut oil as the base oil. macadamia nut oil is known to help regenerate skin cells and therefore is good for tired, mature skin and for minimising wrinkles. jojoba oil is also used in this recipe for locking moisture. frankincense essential oil has a sweet, woody scent and is good for dry complexions, healing scars and wrinkles. therefore this is a very good face cream to use during dry weather.

i must say i have never used a face cream so light in texture yet so nourishing. it is light like a whipped cream and so soft to touch. when applied on the face, it gets absorbed very quickly, leaving the skin soft and hydrated. i feel very happy every time i use it because for the first time, i know what ingredients there are in my face cream and that they are all natural and safe. no preservatives of any form is added, so i will need to use up the cream within the next 4 weeks or so.

i was so excited i kept talking about it to my husband all night!
