Stretchmark cream and face cream

This is my favorite recipe for stretch marks, it even works for getting rid of older ones and their are no expensive ingredients; even better it smells like white chocolate and roses. The coco butter and the castor oils are both great for stretch marks, by themselves and the castor oil works for cellulite too, but it needs another oil to make it work better and that's where the coco butter works again! The face cream is light and works for even cleaning of makeup and washing your face. 


For the stretch mark cream:
The castor oil makes this a bit sticky, so it's kinda weird at first but it's so awesome at working well.
(variation for an even easier version after directions)

1 oz of beeswax
3.5 oz of coco butter
3.5 oz of castor oil
1 tsp of vitamin E oil
5 oz of rose water or just water 
dissolve a heavy pinch of borax into the water to make it easier to mix everything together. You need a good borax that is specifically for cosmetic uses. I get mine from mountain rose herbs. 

Melt the beeswax in a double boiler, melt the coco butter, then add in the castor oil and the vitamin E oil. Once all of that is melted, take the mix off of the heat and slowly mix in the water with a beater. You can whisk it really quickly but the beaters are much easier. You can add in a few drops of rose oil or other repairative oils to make it more potent, but if you are pregnant make sure that they are safe to use. Lavender and rose are both good choices.  And your done! Massage into the skin daily after a shower when your skin is more receptive for best results.

Variation to make it even easier: Melt two parts cocoa butter and mix with one part castor oil. Add a few drops of rose oil or rosewater concentrate if desired.

For the face cream:
For this face cream you will need to use whatever type of oil you use to wash your face. Click HERE to learn more about the oil cleansing method. I use macadamia nut oil.
1 part beeswax
3 parts oil
2 to 3 parts water (you can use a hydrosol too)
a pinch of borax and arrowroot powder dissolved in the water (optional)

Melt the beeswax, add in the oil and make sure everything is melted, then mix in the water.

Use as a face cream or even as a light hand cream. Since you will be using the oil that works best for your skin then it will work to help it out wherever you put it.
