Does anybody have a tried and tested recipe for face cream? I am sick to death of paying these extortionate (is that how you spell it  :blink:) prices for a jar of cream that lasts less than a month. Ive got a houseful of essential oils so i can add my own fragrance. Im just looking for a base cream with no frills...

Don't do face creams but you might find this interesting here.

I don't either.  I may not be the prettiest person going, but every time I see my hairdresser she always remarks on how soft my skin is.  My Mum was the same. 

But if I did, I think it would be nice to find a homemade recipe, but like you say, tried and tested!!!

Thanks for the comments and the recipe. I will post on again if it works x

I don't do expensive face cream.  I just use T*sco's aloe vera moisturising cream and it's very good, lasts for ages and I don't look 38 ( was told the other day I only looked like I was in my early 30's!  chuffed or what!)

One for the girls to try out.
My wife uses snail slime.
It is a skin rejuvenator works for snails so try it if you dare.

Ok chaps don't laugh but it is also good for cuts and grazes.

My wife uses coconut based products, and she smells yummy and looks great  She buys a pot of what ever is on offer at the time of needing it. She never ever wear's make up (Dont know if that makes a difference to how good the skin is)

I work for Boots and we sell face creams varying in price from £1.50 to £90+, people often comment that I don't look my age and I have to refrain from telling them that I don't put that muck on my face!

When I was at school we used to make face cream every year for the summer fayre -- cheap cold cream with added drops of rose oil worked through with a spoon. We also made a lavender version. It was certainly very luxurious to us

Bath salts were made out of epsom salts shaken up in a bag with a drop of cochineal and a drop or two of essential oil, then put in fancy bottles.
