Mixed skins face lotion

Here's Stefania Maghella's recipe from home: a cream for impure skin! "Impure skin feels oily to the touch, with an excess of sebum, blackheads, and pimples. This cream owes its effectiveness to the presence of essential oils suitable for this type of skin, such as lavender and tea tree." You can find many more in her e-book! Read the interview we did with her!

Preparation

The water, preferably demineralized or hydrosol, is heated until it's very hot (around 70°C).

In a double boiler, heat the oils, wax, and shea butter until they are completely melted (at a temperature of about 70°C).

Now, very slowly, add the hot water to the oils and butters, stirring intermittently and not too quickly, using a hand blender or electric beaters, until you obtain a thick cream.

Place the container with the cream in a cold water bath to facilitate cooling, and continue stirring.

During this phase, at a temperature of about 40°C, add the essential oils.

You can also use the hand blender again to further improve the consistency.

Store this cream in a cool place (I keep it in the refrigerator) in a glass container for about a month.

How to use

Apply it to damp skin, massaging quickly to aid absorption.

You can also pat it with a towel if needed.
