Manufacturers of caring cosmetics regularly present new products to women that promise amazing results. Alas, some drugs are addictive, while the duration of the effect of others is very short. Today you will learn how to make your own face cream.
One obvious advantage of a self-made cream is that you know the exact composition of the product, which means you have confidence in its quality. The result will exceed all expectations, because it can be "adjusted" specifically for your skin, the cream will enrich it with the necessary vitamins.
By the way, if you learn how to create such a miracle remedy at home, then you can forever forget about the problem of gifts for friends.
I would like to note a number of disadvantages: since the cream is completely natural, its shelf life is no more than a week, it is also worth noting that the process of creating a product is not so simple.
Before choosing components, it is worth preparing the necessary dishes. So, you will need an enamel bowl, three small glass bowls, a 5 ml syringe, a whisk, a teaspoon, a water thermometer, and a jar for future cream.

- As soon as the temperature in glass containers reaches 60 ° C, add emulsifier to the oil. When the emulsifier is dissolved, pour the heated broth into a bowl.
- Bring the future cream until smooth, remove from heat and place a bowl in cold water.
