For those with sensitive, dry skin, especially during these cold winter months, it can be hard to find the perfect face cream that will not only hydrate but also heal and protect. Commercial face creams are laden with preservatives, alcohols, dyes, and other unpronounceable ingredients which can further irritate the skin rather than soothe it.
This DIY green tea repairing face cream recipe checks off all the important skin problems: dry skin, irritated skin, and sensitive skin. We are SO in love with this repairing face cream recipe, we can't talk about it enough! For those of us with dry, irritated and sensitive skin, it felt like the most luxurious relief, and left our skin silky soft, hydrated, and supple!
Repairing Face Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
- 0.25 oz bees wax
- 1 oz almond oil

The reason why this repairing face cream works so well is because of its amazing natural ingredients!
