Hey guys,
As you all know I love making my own hygiene and body care products at home, and this time I have "invented" a little mixture which in theory will act as a super skin lightening lotion.
The goal for me is to get rid of some dark spots that have appeared as a result of sun damage. I had made a facial scrub a while back for the same reason, and here's the video if you'd like to watch it:https://steemit.com/dtube/@evecab/gr45opo2
I researched all the ingredients that do naturally lighten skin, and decided to mix them all together! Why only use one when you can combine several?
These are the ingredients you'll need:
- Shea Butter (2 tablespoons)
- Coconut oil: 2 tablespoons (mine was infused with chamomile herbs)
- 1/4 cup of Argan oil (you can use any other oil if you like!)
- Lemon essential oil (at least 30 - 50 drops)
- Turmeric essential oil (at least 30 - 50 drops)
- a few drops of rose water
- 1 spoon or beeswax or soy wax for a vegan alternative
You can add any other essential oil if you want to add a specific perfume to it.
The main ingredients that will do the lightning are the lemon and turmeric oils, so make sure to put enough! All the other ingredients are packed with antioxidants and will also have an anti-ageing effect. Double benefit, isn't that awesome?
Enjoy!
