Serums, Creams, and Food Recipes

Here are some recipes from Kate's Creations!

Recipe for Secret Face Serum:

2 Tbs of Jojoba oil

20 Drops of Frankincense

20 Drops of Tea Tree

20 Drops of Lavender

6 Drops of Lemon

5 Drops of Geranium

Recipe for Essential Eczema Cream

(This works well on sensitive, or cracked skin as well)

1/2 cup of Shea Butter

1/2 cup coconut oil

1tbs honey (optional as I found this made it a little sticky)

20 drops of lavender

15 drops of Melrose

10 drops of Frankincense

5 drops of Bergamot

1. Melt Shea butter and coconut oil together. Use a double boiler or a glass container inside a stovetop pot to create a homemade one.

2. Add honey if desired. Stir.

3. Melt it all. Make sure it is blended and then add the oils.

4. Cool ingredients. It will get a bit thicker but you want to make sure it stays soft so that it's easy to mix. You can put it in the fridge to hasten the cooling process. Just watch it doesn't get too cold and becomes hard.

5. Use a mixer and mix until it's frothy and starts to look like lotion. You should do this every 10 minutes. It took mine about an hour to look like lotion so I mixed it 5 or 6 times.

6. Store in your glass jars (go HERE to get them)

7. Apply daily or more frequently if desired.

Skin Firming Recipes:

Morning: 3 drops of Tangerine, 3 Drops of Cypress (add to a few drops of your favorite carrier oil for easier application.) You can also add this to a dropper bottle and fill it with a carrier oil. I would double the drops and fill a 10 ml bottle. You can get those HERE.

Evening: 8 Drops of Patchouli, 5 drops of Cypress, 5 drops of Geranium, 1 drop of Sandalwood. (add to a dropper bottle and fill with your favorite carrier oil) Get my favorite bottles HERE. These are 10 ml bottles. For 1 oz bottles go HERE.
