Whether you are pregnant, you have recently given birth, or if you simply have received from Mother Nature a soft and less elastic skin, you need a cream to help you. See how you can make at your home an anti-stretch marks cream, to help with sagging skin and restore the elasticity of your skin.
- ½ cup coconut butter
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup cocoa butter
- 2 tablespoons food starch
- 1 teaspoon of oil with vitamin E capsules
- 1 tablespoon of lavender essential oil
- ½ frankincense essential oil
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Preparation of the cream for stretch marks and loose skin
Melt the cocoa butter and coconut butter using bain marie, and stir it on low heat with the remaining ingredients, vitamin E and aromatic oils (lavender, incense). Give a homogeneous and slightly thickened mixture of starch aside and transfer it into a ceramic bowl. Refrigerate several hours until it is completely cooled. Get the mixture out of the fridge and add vitamin E oil and aromatic oils. Using a kitchen mixer, mix at medium speed the butter and oils until you get a kind of foam which has the consistency of cream. Put the cream in jars with lids and keep away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
