Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons of high-quality ghee (like Pratapgarh Pure Desi Cow Ghee)
  • 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (or sweet almond oil, if preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon of honey (optional, for additional moisturizing and antibacterial properties)
  • A few drops of essential oil (like lavender or rose, for fragrance and additional skin benefits – optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ghee: Ensure the ghee is at room temperature. If it’s solidified, gently warm it to soften, but do not melt it.
  2. Mixing: In a clean bowl, combine the ghee and coconut oil (or almond oil). Mix them well until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
  3. Add Honey: If using honey, add it to the mixture and continue to blend until well incorporated.
  4. Essential Oils: Add a few drops of your chosen essential oil. This step is optional but can add a pleasant fragrance and additional skin benefits.
  5. Whisking: For a fluffy, whipped texture, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the mixture for a few minutes.
  6. Storage: Store your homemade ghee face cream in a clean, airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry place. If your home is very warm and the cream becomes too liquid, you can store it in the refrigerator.
  7. Application: Apply a small amount of the cream to your face with clean hands, gently massaging it in. Given its richness, a little goes a long way.

Notes:

  • Always do a patch test on a small area of your skin before using homemade skincare products to ensure you don’t have an allergic reaction, especially when using essential oils.
  • This face cream is best for dry to normal skin types. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, be cautious with oil-based products.
  • The shelf life of homemade creams is shorter than commercial products as they lack preservatives. Use within a few weeks and monitor for any signs of spoilage.

Using high-quality ingredients, especially the ghee, is key to the efficacy of the cream. Pratapgarh Pure Desi Cow Ghee, known for its purity and traditional preparation, can be a great choice for such homemade skincare recipes.
