If you’re uncomfortable with aloe vera gel or any other ingredient on the list. That’s fine. You might be facing issues when using them individually.
Here, we mix all the components, and you might not face any problems. Still, if you are sceptical, do a patch test first.
Preparation Of Your Homemade Moisturizer:
STEP 1: Take a bowl. Add two tablespoons of aloe vera gel.
STEP 2: Next, add 2-3 drops of rose essential oil.
STEP 3: Add one tablespoon of glycerine to the mix.
Do not add too much glycerine, as it can make the moisturizer oily. Add it just enough to maintain the consistency of the moisturizer.
STEP 4: Add two tablespoons of gulab jal (you can use whichever brand you are comfortable with).
STEP 5: Mix all the ingredients thoroughly till the moisturizer gets translucent.
You will notice before whisking the product, it was completely transparent as all the ingredients used were transparent.
After whisking nicely for 1-2 mins, the final result will be translucent. That will be your sign that our homemade moisturizer is ready!
You can apply this moisturizer to children as well. But, as it contains essential oil, it might not suit the sensitive skin of some children. You can skip the rose essential oil if you prepare it for a child.
Storage Of Homemade Moisturizer:
Transfer the homemade moisturizer to a container. The container should preferably be a glass container as this will reduce the chances of spoilage.
If you are using a plastic container, that’s fine. Just make sure that you use it quickly to avoid spoiling the moisturizer. You can refrigerate it or leave it outside.
One of our special ingredients, glycerine, will preserve the moisturizer. You can take it with you when you travel as it does not need refrigeration.
