Homemade Moisturizer for Face

Moisturizers, both commercial and natural, work to hold water in the outermost layer of skin, and prevent or treat dryness. According to MayoClinic.com, most moisturizers contain a humectant, emollient, fragrance and preservative, each of which plays an important role in the moisturizer's effectiveness.

Homemade and natural moisturizers typically contain glycerin as a humectant, oils or solid fats as emollients, essential oils as fragrances, and vitamin E as a preservative. When emulsified, these ingredients create a healing, soothing Homemade face moisturizer customizable to all skin types.

Strawberry moisturizer

Take one table spoon of olive oil, one tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 2 drops of vitamin. Pour all the ingredients into a jar and then add in 2 tablespoon of smashed strawberries. Shake well in order to blend all the ingredients together. And store it in a refrigerator.

Aloe Vera Moisturizer

The preparation of aloe vera moisturizer is rather easy. Take equal amounts of aloe vera gel and mineral water. Heat both the ingredients till it becomes a cream and store it in a jar.

Moisturizer for normal skin

Mix 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of fresh rose petals and heat it till it boils. Let it cool and strain out the rose petals and add glycerin and aloe vera juice. Store it in the refrigerator.

Moisturizer for acne prone skin

Take the juice from half a lemon, 3 tbsp of yogurt and 1 – 1/2 teaspoon of honey and mix them together. Add in 1 whipped egg and stir well. Apply on the face and leave for about 15 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water.

If you want to keep it simple, then just apply the juice of fresh fruits, leave on for about 10 minutes and then wash it off. This is a natural moisturizer and a great one!
