As I revealed in other posts, for me it’s very important to balance my skin, for it to be healthy and beautiful, fresh and shiny, not oily. Personally it might have taken a little while to recognise the relevance of a skin care routine and stick to it. Creating healthy habits is has hard as changing bad ones.Throughout years I’ve struggled with many moisturisers, some where even prescribed by my dermatologist. Sometimes I just opened and used twice, to acknowledge it wasn’t a good choice for my skin type and it’s atopic issues.
Therefore last year I decided to try different approaches, such as natural and homemade versions of skin care products, and the result was incredible! I searched the web and did my own lab work, experimenting and testing different possibilities. For me the best natural moisturiser formula is this one, coconut oil and lemon moisturiser.
Once again as I stated before, the core ingredients are the key elements of these natural homemade skin care products. First the coconut oil this an exceptional natural skin moisturiser, even for oily skin types, balancing hydration. Then the fresh lemon juice, a great boost of vitamin C that will work as an anti aging element because of its antioxidant and collagen production stimulation effect. Just enjoy! Your best skin days are now closer!

- 6 tbsp Coconut Oil (unmelted)
- 2 Lemons
- Essential Oil of your choice (e.g. vanilla, lavender, raspberry...)
- In a bowl mix the coconut oil until it achieves a fluffy texture.
- Squeeze the lemons, then add the lemon juice and the essential oil of your choice.
- Mix slowly with a spatula, until combined.
- Transfer the mixture into a container.
- Place a little amount of moisturiser in your hands and gently rub them until the cream melts. Then apply it to your skin, in circular moves.
- Store this great moisturiser at room temperature. During summer store it in the fridge, so the coconut oil doesn't melt.
