Since I started to use cosmetics, I was fascinated by women able to make their own creams, lotions and oils for facial and body care. I always thought that whole process of making natural cosmetics is complicated to do. Usually it is, but it doesn’t have to be.
Few weeks ago, I decided to start making my own creams for facial care, suited for warm summer time and to make it as simple as possible. Ingredients I used were cold press sesame oil, cocoa butter and lavender essential oil. I’ll tell you how I made it, but if you decide to make it too, you’ll do it at your own risk, because I’m just beginner and mistakes are possible. 
This is recipe of my first cocoa butter cream:
- sterilize small glass jar
- put two tablespoons of cold press sesame oil in the glass jar
- put container with cocoa butter in another dish with warm water to melt it
- put one tablespoon of melted cocoa butter in glass jar with sesame oil
- mix cocoa butter and sesame oil together
- put five drops of lavender essential oil in cocoa butter and sesame oil mix
- put cocoa butter cream in refrigerator to tighten
That was it! I always apply this cream on wet face and gently massage it until it is soaked. If I find that my skin is still oily, I wipe it up. This cream is great for dry and normal skin. I just love it!
