Do you have sensitive skin? Then you have to read this!

Unfortunately, sensitive skin is the most unmanageable skin condition. It is more prone to breakouts, irritation, itching and most importantly allergy. If you do have sensitive skin, then you are more likely to get skin reactions when using conventional cosmetic products. Those reactions occur simply because of the presence of different chemicals, that is why it is highly recommended the use of organic cosmetics that are hypoallergenic and don't clog the pores. However, if you do have the time, you should definitely include those natural products in your beauty regime.

Anti-Ageing Face Cream

Since our policy is to stick to natural products as much as possible, I decided to share with you this homemade recipe for a natural Anti-Ageing Face Cream. I made it for the first time about two months ago and I really love the texture and nutrition it gives to my skin. It is perfect for dry skin and fpr the summer in general when your skin needs good nutrition all day.

What you need:

- 15ml Soy Oil
- 15ml Avocado Oil
- 1 coffee spoon of Beeswax
- 1 coffee spoon of Cacao Butter
- 3 drops of Geranium Essential Oil

How to make it:

Put together a double boiler on the stove and turn it on medium heat. Put in the larger pot 400ml of water. In the smaller pot (that should be inside) put all the ingredients, except for the Geranium Essential Oil. Stir slowly, while the temperature of the water increases and the ingredients melt completely. Add 3 drops of Geranium Essential oil and pour the cream in an appropriate sterilised container to cool down.
