Home Made Winter Moisturizer
Warmest Season’s Greetings to all my special readers and customers!
May each and every one of you find ways to peacefully and joyfully celebrate Christmas. If you do not celebrate Christmas, may you also experience happiness and enjoyment other religious or non-religious activities that take place at this special time of the year.
Before I post this great moisturizer recipe, I want to inform the spammers who are frequenting this site that the comments function has been turned off for all posts on the Cosmetics21.com website. Perhaps in the new year you might want to consider spending your time and energy in honest pursuits rather than trying to ride on the coat-tails, or destroy the efforts of others. Harsh words for this time of year, but alas, necessary ones. Spam hurts everyone, including the Spammer. So please stop.
Now, on with the show…
Winter is harsh on our delicate skin, especially the delicate skin on our hands and faces. Commercial moisturizers have their place, but I find the homemade ones so much better and more effective.
Here is a recipe for a nice ‘Christmassy’ lubricating lotion for your face AND your bath water:
Eggnog Lotion
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup of heavy cream or half and half coffee cream
1 tablespoon of rum. (Better make that two - one for you while you conjure up this amazing lotion, and one for the recipe!)
1/4 cup of light oil (canola, almond, walnut oil or any other light, aromatic oil will do)
Mix the egg yolks, cream and rum in a blender.
With the blender still running, dribble the oil into the mixture until it is well blended.
Pour the creamy mixture into a clean container and store in the fridge.
You can apply this mixture to your face or body, and you can also add one or two tablespoons of the Eggnog lotion into your bathwater.
And since it IS the Christmas season, you just might enjoy a glass of eggnog while you soak in this skin nourishing, relaxing bath.
Note: Egg Yolks are rich in natural lecithin. Lecithin in nature’s emulsifier, which works to hold together two ordinarily unmixable liquids such as oil and water, giving the resulting mixture a smooth, creamy texture.
Enjoy, and God bless!
