Have you noticed that every cosmetic brand under the sun claims to be effective when it comes to skin brightening, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and other such alluring claims and how those cream jars are minuscule and ridiculously over priced? After one ventures forth and purchases those tiny, expensive jars, they seem to not work at all or lose their potency eventually and we flock to the market again to seek the perfect face cream.
But after I read ingredient list of most the eye creams I noticed they essentially contain a soothing agent and an anti-ageing agent. I combined these required ingredients and voila I got an amazing face cream which actually works.
Ingredients:
• Jojoba oil
• Aloe Vera gel
• Vitamin E
• Carrot seed oil
• Tea Tree oil
• Nutmeg oil
• Lavender oil
• Glycerin
• Jar or pump bottle
• Spoon to mix or a blender for large quantity
Steps to follow:
Step 1: Find a clean work space and spread a newspaper to prevent any spillage form ruining work-space
Step 2: Start by 3 table spoons of Aloe Vera gel to a mixing bowl.
Step 3: Add 1 table spoon of Jojoba oil to the gel.
Step 4: Add half a table spoon of Glycerin, more if one wants to use it as night cream.
Step 5: Add all the essential oil – 4 to 5 drops each.
Step 6: Cut open 4 to 5 Vitamin E capsules and add to the bowl.
Step 7: Final step is to whisk vigorously and use a blender till it assumes a texture of a cream; as shown in image.
Test the cream:
Benefits of Ingredients:
• Aloe Vera: we all know benefits of Aloe Vera – it is soothing and removes puffiness.
• Jojoba oil: this is the most essential ingredient – it is non-comedgenic, rich in vitamin E, has anti ageing properties; in a nut shell it is elixir for skin.
• Vitamin E: this is an extra boost to remove under eye darkness and wrinkles.
• Carrot seed oil: Reduces fine lines and wrinkles and rejuvenates skin
• Nutmeg oil: reduces marks and gives even tone skin
• Tea Tree oil: fights acne
• Lavender oil: Sooths skin and adds fragrance
• Glycerin: softens skin and acts as good base to form emulsion
Conclusion:
I am happy with my DIY project because:
• It’s cheap – one time investment can help us make large quantity of cream.
• Has all the benefits of a good face cream.
• Has no side effects.
• Will suit all skin types.
• Is very effective and gives even skin tone.
• Noticeably reduces darkness and wrinkles with regular usage.
I urge all the readers to try this DIY and enjoy its potency – I can vouch for its efficacy and it will compel all the users of face creams to try this one!

Hi Sakshi, this is a great DIY 🙂 I’ve started making my own homemade products and it is really cost-effective and works wonderfully! I just thought I’d let you know that carrot seed EO makes skin photosensitive, in case you are using this as a day cream.
Wow Sakshi, another great DIY from you. Loved it! I had not expected this kinda consistency from it. So much goodness in it. I hope I am able to leave my laziness behind an try it.
It’s a really nice DIY Sakshi.. Love it! I will try to make this one for sure but is it ok if I skip aloe vera gel?? I am one of those who are allergic to Aloe Vera :/
Wowww this one’s amazing….Will definitely try it out 🙂
