Aloe Vera Lotion—An Anti-Aging Lotion Recipe At Home

 Aloe Vera Lotion—An Anti-Aging Lotion Recipe At Home

Aloe vera is honestly a part of those natural treasures that your skin would not have enough of. Because it calms and hydrates, and yes, even helps reduce signs of aging, it works well in any DIY skincare project. Aloe vera is also a common ingredient in a variety of skin products, and this homemade lotion mixes aloe with other natural materials known to make wrinkles disappear while adding elasticity and leaving the skin fresh and glowing. And the best part? It’s simple to make!

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Here’s What You’ll Need:

·       2T fresh aloe vera gel (if possible, but bottled is ok)

o   1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil to deeply moisturize and to add anti-aging antioxidants

§  1 tsp.almond oil (for additional nourishment as this is high in vitamin e)

·       Melted coconut oil, raw or melted – ½ tablespoon (increase if you live in a drier climate too!) — organic shea butter could also be used instead (optional for extra moistness)

—    1-2 drops of essential oil (optional: I use this to scent it nice, either lavender or rose works great here — OR omit if using a pathy)

Steps to Make It:

1.     Step 1: Melt coconut oil and shea butter.

 

For beginners, melt coconut oil and shea butter (if you used it). Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a double boiler, or in the microwave (microwave 20 seconds at first, then continue to microwave if not completely melted).

2.     Mix with Aloe Vera Gel

 

Let the oils cool off and blend in the aloe vera gel (the oils can be mixed while still hot as long as, ideally, they are a single mass).

Step 2: Add in the Almond oil and essential oils

– Add almond oil, then a drop or two of your favorite essential oil (lavender can be calming if you want to try that, but whatever works).

Blend Until Creamy

DIRECTIONS Beat the lotion with a whisk or hand blender (this is what I do) until it looks creamy smooth.

Store If you are done as your lotion is now ready, pour it into a nonporous airtight container and store in a cool dark place.

How to Use:

Dot some lotion on your face and neck as you gently press it up. We suggest using it at nighttime so that all the good stuff can be absorbed into your skin whilst you sleep.
