2Fluffy 0 Posted January 11, 2011 SOMEWHERE on this board someone posted a home made recipe for skin cream that had some lovely oils in it that may help with skin elasticity so we don't end up with too much sagging skin. Does anyone know where that is? I've tried searching for it but cannot find it anywhere. I want to make some and see if it works! Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Step 4 Dab the oil mixture on the area of skin being treated. Leave the excess oil on the skin for 20 to 25 minutes without wiping it off. Step 5 Rinse your skin with lukewarm Water and pat dry with a clean towel. Step 6 Apply your regular moisturizer after using this treatment. There is no need to wash with soap unless the mixture irritates your skin. Step 7 Use this treatment once per day for as long as necessary. Discontinue use if the essential oils bother your skin or cause redness that does not fade away after a few minutes. Step 8 Store unused portions of the oil mixture in the medicine cabinet or cupboard for 90 days. Discard the mixture after 90 days if not completely used.
