BASIC COLD CREAM TO RELIEVE DRYNESS

Steps:

• Dissolve the borax in the water in a glass measuring cup.
• Set aside.
• Mix together the oil and beeswax in another glass measuring cup.
• Place the glass cup in a pan of water (about 1-2 inches of water), making a water bath.
• Heat the oil-beeswax mixture in the water bath over medium heat until the beeswax is melted, stirring occasionally.
• This takes about 10 minutes.
• When the wax is melted, bring the borax-water mixture almost to a boil.
• You can do this by putting the glass cup in the microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.
• Otherwise, you may heat it on the stove top in a water bath.
• Remove the mixture from the water bath.
• Slowly add the borax-water mixture to it, stirring briskly.
• (You can also put the mixtures in the blender and whip).
• Pour the cream into a clean container with a lid.
• To use, massage a small amount into your skin and tissue off or rinse off with warm water.
• Note: The mixture will become white and fluffy but will be a bit runny until it has cooled completely.
• Once it has cooled, you will have a nice basic cold cream ready.
• Since no perfumes have been added, it will remain unscented.
• If you choose to prepare a cold cream with a fragrance, just add a few drops of your favourite scent as the mixture is cooling.
