Make Cold Cream & Cleanser Recipe

52 oz. white beeswax
1/2 cup almond oil
1/2 tsp. borax
1/4 cup rosewater

This recipe gives you a basic all-purpose cold cream / moisturizer, which scented oils can be added to.

Place the beeswax in a double boiler and add the almond oil. Melt the wax over low heat, stirring constantly to combine the ingredients. Take off the heat and dissolve the borax in the rosewater and slowly pour it into the melted wax and oil, whisking constantly. It will turn milky and thicken, continue whisking while it cools.

When it reaches thick pouring consistency, pour into glass jars or china pots. Makes 7 oz.

Soothing Cucumber Facial Cream

1 whole cucumber, unpeeled
1/2 oz. white paraffin
2 oz. sweet almond oil

Cut the cucumber into chunks and purée it in a food processor or blender. Strain the pulp through a strainer lined with cheesecloth. Melt the wax in a small bowl in the top of a glass or enamel double boiler over medium heat. As soon as the wax is melted, slowly add the oil, stirring gently. Add strained cucumber and blend thoroughly. Remove the pot from the heat and cover with a clean towel. Let the mixture cool very slowly to prevent crystals from forming in the wax. Stir mixture once or twice until cool.

When the mixture is completely cool and smooth, store it in a tightly capped glass container in the refrigerator. It will keep for two months.

To use, smooth a bit of cream every night around the tender skin of your face and neck.
