Beeswax moisturiser

Definitely one moisturiser which can do wonders to your skin. Take a double boiler to melt about 1/4th beeswax pellets. Once it melts add about ½ cup of coconut oil, ½ cup of olive oil 10 drops of any essential oil. Keep whipping the mixture while you are pouring the elements. Mix it until it gets a creamy texture. Transfer the mixture in glass jar and let it cool down. Make sure you do not refrigerate it as it will naturally cool down. 

Aloe vera moisturiser

Aloe vera is the greatest gift of nature to mankind. We all know how aloe soothes the skin and reduces itchiness and dry patches. Firstly, melt 12 tablespoon of beeswax in a double boiler and add ½ cup of coconut and ¼ cup of almond oil to it while you’re melting it. Pour the mixture in a blender and let it all cool down. Once it has cooled down add 1 cup of aloe vera gel and the essential oils, blend it till you get a creamy texture. Store the mixture in a glass jar and use it. 

Honey and Glycerin moisturiser

Take about 1 teaspoon of honey, 2 teaspoons of glycerin, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 2 teaspoon of green tea. Mix all the ingredients together and apply it on your face and body. Leave it on overnight and then wash it off the next day. The reason this moisturiser works is because honey and glycerin are great in keeping the skin hydrated and moisturised. Lemon on the other hand helps in brightening your skin.
