Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    This simple, homemade cream is excellent for removing makeup.  Follow with an astringent if you have oily skin.

    The ingredients are 1 ounce of lanolin, 1/2 ounce of beeswax, 3  1/2 ounces of  vegetable or fruit oil, such as almond or avocado, 1 ounce of herb water (water heated with herbs to make an infusion.  Strain the herbs out and store the water in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it).

    Melt the lanolin and beeswax together in a double boiler on a stove.  Slowly add the oil and remove the mixture from the heat when combined.  Using a whisk, incorporate the herb water into the cream.  Place in a glass jar with a screw-on lid and allow to cool.  This recipe will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator.

    Good herbs to use for your herb water include lavender, rosepetals, sweet pea flowers, and lilac.
