I had been using the same face cream for years. Literally since my late 20’s, and never had any problems. Earlier this year, I bought a replenishment a few weeks before my son’s communion and they changed the formula.
Did you hear me?
THEY CHANGED THE FORMULA.
Jerks.
I broke out from the new and improved.
I had to give it up. I was without moisturizer for the last few months. My skin got flaky and dry. I suffered through the winter without a soft, silky face. I survived, barely.
I was at a loss.
Since I have been reducing the amount of chemicals I bring into my home, I decided I wanted to try something natural. Unfortunately, I have sensitive skin and a tight budget when it comes to beauty items. I wasn’t going to spend a small fortune on all natural, organic moisturizer. This encouraged me to try making it.
I bought some Shea butter (my local health market sells it in bulk) and I always have coconut oil in the house. I added arrowroot powder to absorb the oil in my t-zone. I mixed it up and put it in a jar I was reusing.
Voila. Moisturizer. My skin feels great. It looks great.
2/3 c Shea butter
2 tbsp coconut oil
Dash arrowroot powder
Mix together. Store in an airtight container.
