Easy, fast and natural, right?
Dry and fragile skin will love this moisturizer!
Just take a dab and apply to face and neck morning and night.
Know that you can also apply it all over the body including the hands and feet.
It spreads very well and penetrates very quickly without leaving a greasy film on the skin.
This cream protects particularly well against harsh weather conditions:extreme heat that dries out the skin in summer and cold plus wind in winter.
Your skin is well nourished and regains all its suppleness and radiance.
It is also protected from all external aggressions.
Store your cream in the fridge. It can easily be kept for several weeks like this.
Never put your fingers in the pot of cream so as not to soil it.
Take the cream with a small spatula that you will have disinfected before.
Jojoba oil deeply moisturizes and nourishes the skin.
This action is reinforced by honey which, in addition to nourishing and moisturizing, protects the skin.
Honey also erases small blemishes or scars.
Beeswax is full of vitamins for the skin.
It deposits a protective film on the skin to prevent it from getting damaged.
Vitamin E and grapefruit seed extract serve as natural preservatives to make your homemade cream last.
