Homemade Wrinkle Cream Recipe

Commercial anti-wrinkle creams contain many chemicals that damage the skin, while natural products are healthier but more expensive. In this article we offer you an alternative: an anti-wrinkle cream made at home from 100% natural ingredients! The cost will be much lower and you can prepare a larger quantity to give to your friends. Here’s how to proceed!

Your skin type

This homemade anti-wrinkle cream is created especially for people with normal to dry, mature or sensitive skin , prone to wrinkles. We do not recommend using it if you are under 25 and have oily skin.

The ingredients used are very nourishing and deeply moisturize the skin. In addition, they protect your face from free radicals and stimulate the regeneration of healthy skin cells. Below we will explain the main benefits of the main ingredients used.

Coconut oil

Lately, coconut oil has been the subject of many health articles thanks to its wonderful properties, both in the food and cosmetics industries. Applied topically, coconut oil is an excellent moisturizer that is easily absorbed into the skin.  It leaves behind a fine skin with a delicious scent.

Coconut oil is the basic ingredient in this recipe, and the other ingredients added depend on the skin you want to apply.

Bee wax

Beeswax is another main ingredient that helps thicken the cream. Coconut oil is excellent at low temperatures, but melts very quickly in the heat, which is why we add beeswax to the cream.

Beeswax helps to remove impurities from the skin, as well as to improve blackheads.

Rosehip oil

One of the most powerful ingredients in this homemade anti-wrinkle cream is rosehip oil. This product has become extremely popular in recent years due to its anti-aging properties.

Thanks to the high content of vitamins, fatty acids and antioxidants, rosehip oil stimulates collagen production and reduces the appearance and formation of wrinkles. It is also an excellent remedy for skin blemishes, stretch marks, dry skin, irritations or to combat the negative effects of excessive sun exposure.

In addition, rosehip oil rejuvenates the skin, helping to renew epithelial cells.

In the evening, before going to bed, you can apply rosehip oil directly on the skin. But in the morning it is better to use the cream we present in this article, as it is more practical and more discreet.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is very beneficial for the skin, either administered orally in the form of capsules or applied directly to the skin. It acts as a natural preservative, being a welcome ingredient in a homemade anti-wrinkle cream.

Vitamin E has antioxidant properties and rejuvenates the skin, helping to protect it from free radicals. 

Essential oils

To complete this recipe, we can not forget the essential oils that provide a special fragrance and amplify the properties of other ingredients.

We especially recommend geranium oil that revitalizes the skin and gives firmness to the cells and a delicious scent of the prepared cream.

Homemade anti-wrinkle cream: how to prepare

Add the following ingredients to a small glass bowl:

• 20 ml coconut oil
• 30 ml beeswax

Place the bowl on the steam bath to lightly thin the ingredients and mix them with a spatula or wooden spoon. After mixing well, take the pot off the heat and immediately add the other ingredients:

• 5 ml of rosehip oil
• 5 ml of vitamin E
• 5 drops of geranium essential oil (optional)
• 5 drops of rose essential oil (optional)

Mix all ingredients well and allow the product to cool.

To keep this cream for a longer period of time, we recommend that you store it in the refrigerator.

If you live in an area with a very warm climate or simply do not want to keep the cream in the refrigerator, add another 10-15 ml of beeswax in its composition.

If you prefer a more liquid cream, you can increase the amount of coconut oil and reduce the amount of beeswax.

Don’t be afraid to change the quantities according to your preferences or add other ingredients that fight annoying wrinkles.
