DIY Night Cream

I’ve been making some sort iteration of this night cream for a little over a year now and wanted to share the recipe so you can custom make your own blend.

Sourcing tallow maybe tricky depending on where you live. I was able to render my own after we bought part of a cow and I asked for all the fat. You can also ask your local farmer or butcher for tallow or fat so you can render it yourself. I’ve also seen tallow sold in butcher shops and some grocery stores.

Use whatever blend of essential oils you prefer and what works best for your skin type.

I love using my infused rose hip oil I use in the daytime in this blend and sometimes mix it with a bit of castor oil.

I personally do not use this cream during the day as it is heavier and a little more ‘greasy’ but not in a ‘clog your pores’ way. I tend to have more oily/combo skin type depending on the season and I have no issues using this cream all year long. It does not clog my pores. Instead, it leaves my skin soft, oh so smooth, and helps with fine lines and wrinkles.

Let me know if you make this yourself and what customization did you do?
