Here I am again with another lotion recipe. I am a fan of making lotion from scratch. I like adding the ingredients and I get excited when I am able to get the exact amount of a certain ingredient weighed. I’m sure you know what I am talking about. Sometimes you go a little over or under the exact amount that you need of an ingredient but when you hit that exact number it is like a little victory!A friend was talking to me the other day (while she was trying my latest home concoction) and she mentioned that she was considering buying an expensive anti-wrinkle cream for her face because she is at the age where it is starting to show a little around the eyes. I told her that there was no way she should be paying ridiculous amounts of money for stuff like that and I could come up with something fabulous for her.
Since I, too, need to be wary of the fine lines and wrinkles that come with age, I wanted to come up with a light lotion (are you starting to understand now that I am a fan of light lotions for the face?) that had some awesome extracts in it good for firming up the skin and reducing fine lines. I chose Horsetail Grass Extract, Comfrey Leaves Extract, Orchid Extract, and Ivy Extract. Can you tell that this is going to be awesome for the face? I also put in a little Vitamin E Acetate. Now, I am going to give you 2 formulations today because I love to play with ingredients to see how they change since I am new at lotion making. Both formulations today are exactly the same except for one ingredient. The first one I used Sweet Almond Oil for a lighter feel. The second recipe has Avocado Oil for those that want a heavier lotion on the face.
