This night cream also includes extra-virgin olive oil and rose water. Both olive oil and rose water help improve skin tone and reduce pigmentation. Olive oil also works as a natural skin moisturizer and delays the effects of aging on skin due to its healthy fats and antioxidants. Rose water is a great beauty aid as it calms acne, maintains the skin’s pH balance, heals scars, regenerates skin tissues and revitalizes aging skin.
Ingredients are 1 apple, olive oil, rose water, a blender, a double boiler. Keep a knife, a bowl, a mixing spoon, and a plastic or glass container.
Cut an apple into two halves. Remove the seeds. Chop the apple into small pieces. Toss the pieces into a blender and add one-half cup of olive oil. Turn on the blender for about five to seven minutes until the mixture has a smooth and thick consistency. Pour the mixture into a double boiler and heat it for a few minutes until it is warm. Remove the mixture from the double boiler and allow it to cool. Then, mix in one-half cup of rose water. Finally, store it in a sterile container. You now have your own homemade apple night cream. You can store it in the refrigerator for four to six days, using a portion of it daily.
Cleanse your face and neck with a gentle cleanser and pat dry. Apply the cream on your skin with your fingers, gently rubbing it on with upward strokes in a circular motion. Leave it on overnight. In the morning, rinse it off with lukewarm water. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
To create a double boiler, fill a pan halfway with water and turn on the heat. When the water starts boiling, place a smaller bowl containing the blended apple mixture in the water. Let it simmer for a few minutes and then turn off the heat.
You may add one teaspoon of honey or vitamin E oil to this apple night cream. Both ingredients are great for your skin as they moisturize, promote skin cell renewal, and help fade blemishes.
