My recent travels left me a bit dehydrated, so yesterday I experimented with a common online DIY Moisturizing Cream recipe I’ve been using for about a year now to customize it to better “treat” my aging, drying skin. The only ingredient in mine that was in the original is Family Dollar Tree’s Vitamin E Cream. I loved the result—-a faster absorption rate and longer lasting “skin hydration.” In fact, I am so excited about the results that I wanted to share the recipe in my blog. The original recipe can be found at: http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/non-editible/beauty-recipe/dry-skin-cream-2.html
Anyway, for my readers who might be interested, here is the recipe I made:
