DIY Face Firming Gel
After everything I have been through with products for the wrinkles I have on my face from losing weight, I have given up on purchasing any ore store bought potions. I found a Kindle book called Organic Body Care Recipes. I have a recipe for face tightening gel for which I have ordered the supplies for about $25.00:
The recipe is:
3 oz water
1/2 tsp xanthan gum (to thicken)
20 drops lemon oil
10 drops of fennel essential oil
8 drops of juniper essential oil
Blend in a blender and place product in sterilized jar
Apply to face.
I just ordered everything from a couple of the resources the book listed, and I will let you know what happens. I hope this works.
Well, I made it, and it tightens, but not enough. Smells good and moisturizers. You do feel a nice tingle while it's tightening.
UPDATE: I was too hasty in formulating an opinion. The gel DOES tighten and makes your skin glow. I also made some for my 89 year old mother (who already looks like she's 60) and she really loves it. She had enlarged pores, and the gel eliminated them with just one use. And she got compliments from her hairdresser about how her skin was glowing.
I really recommend you make this product. I named my line of products Organix. I am really excited about making more products. Please try it.
