Comments (11)another method is to use an emulsifant, a natural and easyly accesable one is alcohol, mix it with the oil then add water either way, good luck, and enjoy hows about adding lavender to one if your recipie(s) dont contain it, then it'll be part face cream part perfume. everyone loves lavender...See MoreGood night cream
Comments (8)Sadly, the cream that works for your skin. My skin is naturally very dry, thin, with rosacea and I am almost 64. My skin was basically the same at 16 but with cystic acne. I can't use acids/retinols/C and have major issues with most botanicals and am allergic to antihistamine. So basically it is very hard to find products that work for me since the trend these days is to use active products or botanicals. I do tend to look for creamy cleansers (doesn't matter how creamy my skin will still be dry before I start applying creams - and oil cleansing does not work for me). I have always used a moisturizing toner (one that does not contain alcohol or an exfoliant), a hydrating serum/cream, followed by a cream without added SPF - and as of probably the mid 70s a stand alone sunscreen. My facial skin cannot handle a cream with a combined SPF. Then I use a foundation with oil. The biggest need for me other than finding something that I can use - is that the product absorb. Many of the drug store products do not absorb - or if they do, they have too much fragrance or are too harsh. So all you can really do is keep trying products - and always check for reformulations before rebuying. I had several products change on me this past year so it has been hard....See MoreFace cream recommendation
Comments (26)I hesitate to recommend anything because I admit to being biased and reluctant to change anything about my routine that has worked for me. I do think if you are having very dry skin issues you need to look at more than just moisturizer. Start with basic hydration (are you getting enough water intake, for example, and watch the caffeine, sugar-based drinks). Next look at whatever you are cleaning your face with and make sure it isn't drying. Then look at your moisture regime. Most of us, as we age, need to change up whatever has worked for us in the past. I layer, first using a fruit-acid exfoliant, then a Vitamin-C & E antioxidant serum, and then Bobbi Brown's Vitamin Enriched Face Base (day) or Bobbi's Hydrating Intense Night Cream (night). If my face gets really dry I use Bobbi's Extra Repair Moisturizing Balm (I sometimes put some of this on before I go outside to run in the winter). It's not cheap, but I get compliments on my skin all the time. And most of these products last a long time because it doesn't take much. Make sure your makeup isn't giving you a dry look too....See MoreSo easy Sooo good lemon ice cream
Comments (69)Just put my 2nd batch in the freezer. Changed the recipe to use 2 Tablespoons less sugar. I also combined the sugar, milk, and cream as the first step. Then I grated and squeezed the lemon. When I was ready to stir the lemon into the cream mixture, the sugar was close to being dissolved so that I had reduced the amount of stirring I had done with the first batch when I followed directions. Better method. Can't wait for it to freeze up, but it will be a couple more hours....See Morealisande
