Making your own natural dry skin recipe is not difficult however you may need to change and experiment with the base oil based on your preference. Base oils for dry skin are olive oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, or avocado oil. Essential oils for dry skin are lavender, lemon, and orange. Store bought skin creams for dry skin do not work. They have tons of chemicals that will cause more damage to your skin in the long run. Why pay a fortune for a department store skin cream when you can make your own for a third of the cost. The following recipes are from “Made Right for Your Skin Type” by Shirley Gillett:

• ¾ cup oil (based on your skin type)
• 1 level tbls of coconut oil
• ½ ounce beeswax
• ½ tsp liquid lecithin
• 1 tsp vitamin E
• 1 tsp vitamin C powder
• 20 drops each of an essential oil (lavender, lemon, rosemary)
• ¾ cup distilled water
• ½ tsp grapefruit seed extract

Heat ¾ cup of base oil, coconut oil, and beeswax in small saucepan until the wax melts, and set aside. Add lecithin and vitamin E and mix well. Let it set until it is jelly like.

In the meantime, combine the vitamin C powder and grapefruit seed extract with the distilled water. Stir until vitamin C is dissolved. Add all of the essential oils to the water mixture. After the oils have set to the jelly stage, the oils into a blender on high. Add distilled water mixture to the oils slowly while blending.

Turn off blender only when the consistency has turned to a smooth cream. Place in jars and store extra jars in the refrigerator.

Lavender and Honey anti-wrinkle cream:

• 1 Tbls lavender water
• 1 Tbls buttermilk
• 1 Tbls honey
• 1 Tbls heavy cream
• 1 egg yolk
• 5 drops tincture of myrrh

Whip egg yolk and add all other ingredients. Mix well. Cleanse skin and then apply mixture. Leave on for at least 15 minutes and rinse with warm water. Refrigerate and use over two days.

These all natural dry skin recipes get the job done.
