I also found out once again that well-known and large cosmetic chains have scouters who follow small entrepreneurs and regularly steal their ideas. I know that's how capitalism works but at some point we all have to realize that the way this system works, is not fair. I would write more, but I'm getting off topic. What I want to emphasize is that no cream will make you look 20 years old, these belong in the realm of science fiction of the capitalists. But what they offer is hydration and if you are consistent in your routine and apply your facial cream every day, you simply slow down aging.<span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: verdana;">Today we will deal with a night cream rich in ingredients which ensures intensive skin care during sleep. After 28 days of use I noticed that it increases the firmness of the skin while providing deep hydration and shine; provides also intensive nourishment and leaves you with a feeling as if you have had a face lift. As we head into winter, our skin needs as much hydration and nourishment as we can give, in order to stay soft and rejuvenated.</span></p>

Now, maracuja oil is a fantastic case of an ingredient because it is suitable for both mature skin as it softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles but it is also ideal for oily skin because it is absorbed immediately without leaving any feeling of greasiness.</span></p>

<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: verdana;">Hyaluronic acid rejuvenates the outer layers of the skin improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, bont-L peptide [INCI Name: Aqua (and) Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-19] prevents and inhibits involuntary muscle contractions during speech or other facial expressions, therefore significantly reduces the appearance of wrinkles while lupine seed extract stimulates collagen production.</span></p>

<li style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;">A nice ingredient which is used to give shine and soft texture to the hair is dimethicone. It covers the pores of the hair in order not to absorb excess moisture but at the same time to retain in it the natural moisture. In this way it gives softness to the hair and acts as a conditioning agent- the hair doesn't make knots and is combed much easier while in combination with another ingredient, cyclomethicone, the appearance of split ends is prevented.</span></li></ul><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;">Stella Crown©</span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #a64d79;">other Lilac Drops' formulas</span></b></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>💜 </b><a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2022/12/diy-lilac-drops-night-cream.html#more" target="_blank">night cream</a></span></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #666666;">💜 <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2022/04/diy-lilac-drops-shampoo-bar.html#more" target="_blank">shampoo bar</a> </span></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #666666;">💜 <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2022/04/diy-lilac-drops-lip-balm.html" target="_blank">lip balm</a></span></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #666666;">💜 <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2022/03/diy-lilac-drops-facial-peeling-mask.html" target="_blank">facial peeling mask</a></span></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #666666;">💜 <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2021/11/diy-lilac-drops-bath-bombs.html" target="_blank">bath bombs</a></span></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #666666;">💜 <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2021/12/diy-lilac-drops-emulsified-body-polish.html" target="_blank">body polish</a></span></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #666666;">💜 <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2022/01/diy-lilac-drops-massage-candle.html" target="_blank">massage candles</a></span></span></p>Stella Crownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11063441062803413115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803580130996104891.post-52524266860062368222022-04-17T04:15:00.002-07:002022-12-20T17:41:01.282-08:00diy Lilac Drops shampoo bar<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinvAfsUyZblzNokrYYnmZqB4oWhVf1zAQ3QemiOUD6_UHeD0b_M4ywb0ZIZKfcrMZGNS93BWQOC5kVWh9S3-igCzj4tQ3PB-QY2t_2FQXNWmuaPc-JQA_89XD9rfKE9NKg_7IhjcSh168r2Rx9DkQBMJx63Hvwt97B5EPjK_kA1OgM2q8YOL81OqGskA/s3322/IMG_20220410_120800_956_Fotor.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3322" data-original-width="2736" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinvAfsUyZblzNokrYYnmZqB4oWhVf1zAQ3QemiOUD6_UHeD0b_M4ywb0ZIZKfcrMZGNS93BWQOC5kVWh9S3-igCzj4tQ3PB-QY2t_2FQXNWmuaPc-JQA_89XD9rfKE9NKg_7IhjcSh168r2Rx9DkQBMJx63Hvwt97B5EPjK_kA1OgM2q8YOL81OqGskA/w528-h640/IMG_20220410_120800_956_Fotor.jpg" width="528" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Today we will make an amazing shampoo for our wonderful hair and because it also belongs to the Lilac Drops beauty line, we will use <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2015/08/cosmetic-clays-benefits.html" target="_blank">purple clay</a>; firstly for the color, and on the other hand for the creamy result.

Each of these products is available in infinite variations, so choosing the right product is from difficult to impossible while many times we end up with cosmetics that are not suitable for us.</span></span></span></span></div><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span><a name='more'></a></span></span></span></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A big headache is the differences between body scrub and body polish. Although both do similar work, they have completely different results.</span></span></span></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">A body polish is a popular treatment and looks more like a facial but for the body. Unlike scrub, body polish removes oiliness and accumulated impurities that are hidden in the pores of the skin and mainly moisturizes and leaves the skin soft and smooth. Helps to create a new layer of cells, renews, brightens and helps the skin better absorb moisturizers- the perfect home spa product.<br />On the other hand a body scrub also contains an exfoliating ingredient such as sugar, salt, grains, etc. which when used for massage, removes dead cells and stimulates increased blood circulation in the body. This makes the skin glowing and supple.</span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">Although there are several similarities, the goals of the two treatments are completely different. The goal of a body scrub is exfoliation and cleansing while the goal of body polish is exfoliation and hydration. The body scrub usually consists of a higher exfoliating ratio while the body polish consists of a higher oil content.<br />Therefore, the best body treatment depends on the goals we are trying to achieve. If we want to exfoliate the skin, a body scrub is the best solution. However, if we want a richer treatment that moisturizes our skin, body polish is a suitable option.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">In today’s formula I used purple clay because frankly, I like the colour. However, it is a mixture of white clay and other mineral pigments that cleanses and softens the skin. Removes dirt and impurities and is suitable for all skin types. Before using it in our formulas, it must definitely be sterilized.<br /><br /><span style="color: #a64d79;"><i>how to sterilise clays or powders before using them in your cosmetics</i></span><br /><br />To sterilize your powders or clays and make sure that the material you use in your cosmetics is safe for your skin, you'll need:<br />- clay or powder of your choice<br />- sterilised baking tray<br /><br />Pour the clay or powder into the baking tray (after you have sterilized it) and spread the material all over the surface of the tray. Place the tray in a preheated oven at 150 degrees Celsius and bake for 1.5 hours. Remove the tray from the oven and allow the clay or the powder to cool down. Put it in a sterilised container. Ensure that the clay or the powder is completely cool before closing the container. </span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhA1gFZqyTaQ7jnRitc7oUY8_mBq4-jnIYhkPfevTOBY1emHFWzYyPUkbf9nrGsTBeOohbfuUYT4kM4fWIGcU4zcCo13BjyEhKFgsJ3PWWggjAdF5VoxG15a4XZgzOLfR0BF5zB34UsoxsoS-6zz2WsylrYVwvjaADSxofRWBex4wNXUHtiiNRoInQUVQ=s3420" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3420" data-original-width="2736" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhA1gFZqyTaQ7jnRitc7oUY8_mBq4-jnIYhkPfevTOBY1emHFWzYyPUkbf9nrGsTBeOohbfuUYT4kM4fWIGcU4zcCo13BjyEhKFgsJ3PWWggjAdF5VoxG15a4XZgzOLfR0BF5zB34UsoxsoS-6zz2WsylrYVwvjaADSxofRWBex4wNXUHtiiNRoInQUVQ=w512-h640" width="512" /></a></span></span></span></div><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Lilac Drops Body Polish</b></span><br /><i>formula for 100 <b>g</b> | 3.53 <b>oz</b></i><br /><br />25 <b>g</b> | 0.88 <b>oz</b> volcanic grains<br />17 <b>g</b> | 0.60 <b>oz</b> shea butter<br />14 <b>g</b> | 0.49 <b>oz</b> baobab oil<br />10 <b>g</b> | 0.35 <b>oz</b> plum kernel oil<br />14 <b>g</b> | 0.49 <b>oz</b> emulsifying wax<br />2 <b>g</b> | 0.07 <b>oz</b> mimosa floral wax<br />15 <b>g</b> | 0.53 <b>oz</b> purple clay<br />1 <b>g</b> | 0.04 <b>oz</b> broad spectrum preservative<br />0,5 <b>g</b> | 0.02 <b>oz</b> vitamin E<br />1,5 <b>g</b> | 0.06 <b>oz</b> fragrance oil (optional- I used Lilac f.o.)<br /><br /></span></span></span></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Sterilize tools, equipment, work surface and wear your gloves.

I used BTMS 50 for this recipe, however BTMS 225 can also be used at a rate of 1-10% depending on the desired density.</span></span></span><br /><span style="color: #666666;"></span><br /><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hyaluronic acid moisturizes and helps fill in wrinkles from the inside out, silk protein cleanses oily skin and gives elasticity, while the synergistic effect of pomegranate, cucumber and dragon's blood extracts heals the skin and repairs the skin tissues.</span></span></span><br /><span style="color: #666666;"></span><br /><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Stella Crown©</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>more Opora Rays recipes:</b></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>🎃 </b><a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2020/11/diy-opora-rays-body-cream.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">diy Opora Rays body cream</span></a></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: #666666;">🎃 <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2020/11/diy-opora-rays-foaming-facial-cleanser.html" target="_blank">diy Opora Rays foaming facial cleanser</a> </span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: #666666;">🎃 <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2020/11/diy-opora-rays-body-polish.html" target="_blank">diy Opora Rays body polish</a> </span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: #666666;">🎃 <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2020/11/diy-opora-rays-shampoo-conditioner-bars.html" target="_blank">diy Opora Rays shampoo & conditioner bars </a></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: #666666;">🎃 <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2020/11/diy-opora-rays-lip-balm.html" target="_blank">diy Opora Rays lip balm</a> </span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: #666666;">🎃 <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2020/10/diy-opora-rays-bath-bombs.html" target="_blank">diy Opora Rays bath bombs</a> </span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: #666666;">🎃 <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2020/10/diy-opora-rays-melt-pour-soap.html" target="_blank">diy Opora Rays melt & pour soap</a> </span><b> </b></span></span></span><br /></p><p></p>Stella Crownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11063441062803413115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803580130996104891.post-90159230981378357512020-11-30T11:25:00.002-08:002020-11-30T11:25:38.327-08:00diy Opora Rays body cream<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXollYK3ndkhGPR29V4rY7ysQkWcAZ7dckcKTvMToQe0qegT8Kz-87Xw2MoqxL8LzZhiC9_ho-PACj8Ti2WHnKADgbG71pG6HPZaMzfOZCFFaWSp2pk2Myvk-w_ry8U75UrmXmTLBui5AM/s2048/IMG_20201130_203651_006_Fotor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1638" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXollYK3ndkhGPR29V4rY7ysQkWcAZ7dckcKTvMToQe0qegT8Kz-87Xw2MoqxL8LzZhiC9_ho-PACj8Ti2WHnKADgbG71pG6HPZaMzfOZCFFaWSp2pk2Myvk-w_ry8U75UrmXmTLBui5AM/w512-h640/IMG_20201130_203651_006_Fotor.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My skin has suffered a lot lately. Olive harvesting and the winter cold gave my skin the gratuitous shot. That is why I was in an emergency to make a quick cream for the whole body and especially for the hands which, if they had a mouth, would certainly call for help. I am very excited about today's rich and nourishing cream that I will present to you, which I made at the right time because it has a delicate texture, it is absorbed immediately and maintains the skin's moisture at normal levels.<span></span></span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Personally, I loved this cream and I hope you love it as much as I do.

You’ll watch your favourite series, you’ll dive into your book but you will also take care of your body. So I prepared a special product that is used for exfoliation and hydration at the same time and surely your mind goes to a typical scrub, but this time I’ll surprise you.<span></span></span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The beauty product that we will deal with today is called body polish and while most people think that it is synonymous with scrub, the beauty world comes to refute it. Body polish is a popular skin care therapy that it hydrates and exfoliates the skin making it feel like a facial, but for the entire body. It is usually combined with massage and helps the body absorb nutrients more easily and faster. It stimulates the formation of new cells while removes dirt and oil from the skin pores.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is created from a wide range of ingredients, such as sugar, salt, coffee beans, etc., which are usually mixed with vegetable oils, active ingredients, essential oils and fragrances. Normally, it is applied and acts like a body mask, while usually it is wrapped with a cling film in the points of interest, in order for the ingredients to affect on us. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The body scrub, on the other hand, aims at a deep exfoliation and cleansing, which is why it has a harder texture, we even remove it from us much faster than body polish.</span></span></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><i>how to sterilise clays or powders before using them in your cosmetics</i></span><br /><br />To sterilize your powders or clays and make sure that the material you use in your cosmetics is safe for your skin, you'll need:<br />- clay or powder of your choice<br />- sterilised baking tray<br /><br />Pour the clay or powder into the baking tray (after you have sterilized it) and spread the material all over the surface of the tray.

For its production, mild foaming agents are mixed by hand with vegetable oils, butters and beneficial herbs which release all their valuable properties during application, leaving the scalp hydrated and rejuvenated. It respects the natural flora of the scalp and is designed to last longer than classic liquid shampoos.</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span style="font-family: verdana;">But we are not finished here, you should also learn about the hair conditioner of the Opora Rays beauty line, which untangles and softens your hair easily and quickly without weighing it down, being a shield of protection against environmental stressors.</span></span></span></span><br /></div><div><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span><br /><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><span style="font-family: verdana;">how to sterilise clays or powders before using them in your cosmetics</span></i></span></span><br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #666666;">To sterilize your powders or clays and make sure that the material you use in your cosmetics is safe for your skin, you'll need:</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #666666;">- clay or powder of your choice<br />- sterilised baking tray<br /><br />Pour the clay or powder into the baking tray (after you have sterilized it) and spread the material all over the surface of the tray.

I generally enjoy the sweet melancholy of Autumn, however I am hesitant about using spices in cosmetics. I use them widely in cooking, but cosmetology is a completely different chapter. Of course, I could not have an opinion if I did not try to use them.<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Initially, I tried to make autumn lip balm using the essential oils I mentioned above but as I expected, the result was quite intense. Essential oils can generally irritate the skin, especially the sensitive area of the lips. Theoretically, we can add them, after diluting them to a great extent, something that I can do as a professional, but I could not recommend it to a beginner. In my opinion, it is better to leave your product odorless or use a flavouring oil.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So, in today's recipe I didn’t add any essential oil, but I used amazing <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2015/10/the-magic-pumpkin-skin-benefits-pumpkin.html" target="_blank">pumpkin seed oil</a> which is rich in vitamins, antioxidants and fatty acids, <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2016/06/castor-oil-ricinus-communis.html" target="_blank">castor oil</a> and <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2016/04/cacao-tree-theobroma-cacao.html" target="_blank">cocoa butter</a> because they have remarkable anti-inflammatory properties and <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2016/03/what-is-coconut-good-for-coconut-cocos.html" target="_blank">coconut oil</a> because it soothes and nourishes chapped lips.

Opora Rays bath bombs are a sensual combination of pumpkin, vanilla and plum that reminds a walk in the autumn forest or, to be more specific, a walk in the witch’s house who lives in the forest. Hey, it’s almost Halloween.</span></span><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span></span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bath bombs are amazing because in addition to relaxing, they detoxify the skin and release their fragrance all over your space. For today's recipe I used pumpkin oil (cucurbita maxima) because it contains valuable elements such as carotenoids (due to which the orange color of the oil), omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids while it is rich in antioxidants, ingredients that are extremely beneficial for skin and mango butter which is ideal for damaged skin.<br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>how to use</b><br />Just drop them into a bath of hot water and enter the bath.

Weigh your ingredients.<br /><br />Pass the baking soda, the buttermilk, the coconut flour and the herbal powders through the sieve, into your bowl. We use the sieve because we don’t want chunks. Stir with your whisk slightly. Add all the remaining ingredients (except citric acid- this will be added in the end) and stir again. Spray with isopropyl alcohol until the mixture is liquified while stirring gracefully and do not stop until the mixture becomes like wet sand. You can use your hands for the stirring, instead of whisker.<br /><br />Pass now the citric acid through the sieve and then add it into the mixture. Add also the mica you chose. Mix well.<br /><br />Fill the molds- cauldrons with the mixture and press until it is full. <br /><br />If you do not have such pots, follow the known procedure, where you pour the mixture into the molds, press well and unmold. Pack the mixture in your mold firmly and press well. Pop out directly. If you don’t succeed the shape, pack the mixture back to the mold, press again and pop out. Let your bombs dry for 24 hours.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><b>extra information</b><br /></span></span></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">baking soda removes the dead cells </span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">buttermilk is rich in vitamins B2 and B12 and helps you to create extra foam</span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">citric acid regulates the pH and we add it in the end to help the bombs foam more and make them spin</span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">white clay has cleansing properties and gives the hardness we want for our bath bombs</span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">coconut flour gives a soft texture to the skin</span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">orange and pumpkin powders deeply cleanse and give shine</span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">plum and vanilla oils moisturize while give a natural fragrance to your product</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">polysorbate 80 is especially useful if you want to add oils to cosmetics.

The ancient Greeks considered Opora the deity of the ripened fruit of late summer (opora< ancient Greek “οπώρα”< fruit) while was one of the attendants of goddess Eirene. It is probably represented in reliefs of the temples of Serapis and Isis discovered in Athens. <span><a name='more'></a></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Autumn is the favourite season of many people because it's a time when we enjoy the fresh cool air while connecting with nature as it changes to prepare us for the winter.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Today we will make melt & pour soap with autumn fragrances, which is very easy to make even from the beginners. The soap base I used is Stephenson’s Crystal Triple Butter which consists of cocoa butter, shea butter and mango butter. The reason I prefer it is because it leaves a fantastic feeling on the skin after our bath without dehydrating it while gives high foaming.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br /><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Opora Rays m&p Soap</span></b></span><br /><i><span style="font-family: verdana;">recipe for ~500 <b>g</b> | 18 <b>oz</b></span></i><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">500 <b>g</b> | 17.6 <b>oz</b> crystal triple butter soap base</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">12 <b>g</b> | 0.42 <b>oz</b> Pumpkin Souffle f.o.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">food colouring</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br /><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">tools:</span></b><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">cutting surface (board)</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">silicone mold</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">knife</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">beaker 1000 mL</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">electronic thermometer</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">electronic scale</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">whisker</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">cling film (plastic wrap)</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7g07z-QtZ7jprpCa235gjv4hCj5LMyZMDfLhZ0p_08JGxcAO5iMjWFcU7mcEG9n8PlrHcyYOaZRlMC5AWS1f1mt-KFB-WrNVdcGtAq_RPhfR3OwQVTT6PMFfGwVbf2MKfGw_Z2cF_Wwgj/s2048/IMG_20201008_090905_726_Fotor.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1866" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7g07z-QtZ7jprpCa235gjv4hCj5LMyZMDfLhZ0p_08JGxcAO5iMjWFcU7mcEG9n8PlrHcyYOaZRlMC5AWS1f1mt-KFB-WrNVdcGtAq_RPhfR3OwQVTT6PMFfGwVbf2MKfGw_Z2cF_Wwgj/w584-h640/IMG_20201008_090905_726_Fotor.jpg" width="584" /></a></div></span></span><ul><li><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Before you start making the soap, sanitise tools, containers and work surface. Wear your gloves. If you are a beginner, it will be helpful for you to <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2015/08/diy-melt-pour-soap-for-beginners.html" target="_blank">read here</a>, how we make soap using the m&p method.</span></span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Weigh the soap base, cut it into cubes and pour into your beaker. </span></span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Place the soap in bain marie with low temperature. Once the soap has completely melted, check the temperature and add the fragrance oil to 60 degrees Celsius. Stir and add drop by drop the colour you chose until you find the shade you want (4-5 drops are enough). Stir gently. </span></span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Spay with rubbing alcohol into the soap and into your mold also. Pour the soap into the mold and spray again in order to remove the bubbles. Allow the soap to cool and harden. Once the soap cools down, unmold and wrap it in cling film (plastic wrap) in order to maintain its scent and moisture.</span></span></li></ul><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br /><i><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you want to make a 2-layer soap, with different colours, follow the same procedure. After melting the 2nd layer, check if the layer you poured earlier has hardened. If not, place the mold in the refrigerator for a few minutes. When the temperature of the soap that you’ll use in the 2nd layer reaches 60 degrees Celsius, spray with alcohol the soap that is already in the mold and then pour the 2nd layer.

This is a cleansing method that is ideal for all skin types, even for acne prone skin.<span><a name='more'></a></span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span><span>As I mentioned in another article before, “most of the dirt which is concentrated on the skin, is oil-soluble, so it's easier to remove it with oil than with water. At the same time, our skin secretes sebum, which consists of oily texture and in this way moisturizes and retains the dirt on the surface of the skin. If soap or other surfactant cleansing products are used, we clean the skin thoroughly, leaving it without hydration. The epidermis sees this as a risk, resulting in even more sebum that clogs the pores, showing pimples and black spots on the surface.<br />But when oil cleansing is done properly, we maintain greasy levels at normal levels, keeping the skin clean, hydrated and healthy”.<br />It should be clear and understood that sebum is not a dirt, but a natural waxy substance that is produced by our own skin, in order to protect us from external contaminants, while maintaining a normal level of our internal hydration. Skin with insufficient sebum production leads to dryness and premature aging. So, using strong facial cleansers does not face the problem: you just make it worse.<br /></span></span></span></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvgXvKIeA9mRh-_eKQqFgC2g3awcmx1cz5nRf0a9LoHAaG4wpKxqb3DdVqCDBPBar4T4WQdxb8tJCnVIOUdhnzvApKkJIjXKjnW6_0DobxQWq1YZdKFljZyOmi9AJ08Q5U8TLDNL79VOmP/s2048/IMG_20200817_151201_334_Fotor.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1638" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvgXvKIeA9mRh-_eKQqFgC2g3awcmx1cz5nRf0a9LoHAaG4wpKxqb3DdVqCDBPBar4T4WQdxb8tJCnVIOUdhnzvApKkJIjXKjnW6_0DobxQWq1YZdKFljZyOmi9AJ08Q5U8TLDNL79VOmP/w320-h400/IMG_20200817_151201_334_Fotor.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></span></span></span></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span><span>Today's recipe is dedicated to <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2016/04/strawberry-charming-and-glamorous.html" target="_blank">strawberry</a> because it is rich in vitamin C and fights free radicals while also helping to whiten the skin.

It improves the blood circulation locally and through its antibacterial action enhances the body's ability to treat skin irritations. Unlike other clays, it does not remove moisture from the skin, making it the ideal clay for people with dry skin. It is particularly "soft" in its action and therefore fits into sensitive skin. Before proceeding with the recipe, you must sterilize the clay and the strawberry powder.<br /><br /><span style="color: #a64d79;"><i>how to sterilise clays or powders before using them in your cosmetics</i></span><br /><br />To sterilize your powders or clays and make sure that the material you use in your cosmetics is safe for your skin, you'll need:<br /></span></span></span></span></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span><span>clay or powder of your choice</span></span></span></span></span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span><span>sterilised baking tray</span></span></span></span></span></li></ul></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span><span>Pour the clay or powder into the baking tray (after you have sterilized it) and spread the material all over the surface of the tray.

A rejuvenating lotion with refreshing and emollient properties and fancy ingredients that leave a fruity and gourmet fragrance on your skin. It contains strawberry seed oil and authentic Chios mastic floral water, while to make it more exotic, I added illipe butter which I used for the first time. It’s a rich and non-greasy composition which is immediately absorbed and gives a silky texture and deep hydration.<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">During the emulsification I had some technical problems because I wanted to try a new emulsifier, Polyaquol 2W and things did not go as I expected. The mixture was way too greasy and after 2 days the cream separated even though I did everything, based on the supplier’s instructions about the percentages. Since I did not have time for other experiments, I made the cream with pollawax to keep my head calm. I’ll keep you posted about new experiments on polyaquol, but for now let's go to our formula.<br /><br /><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Frau Litsa Body Lotion</b></span><br /><i>formula for 100 <b>g</b> | 3.5 <b>oz</b></i><br /><br /><b>cosmetic phase a’:</b><br />4 <b>g</b> | 0.14 <b>oz</b> illipe butter<br />4 <b>g</b> | 0.14 <b>oz</b> strawberry seed oil<br />3 <b>g</b> | 0.11 <b>oz</b> avocado oil<br />2 <b>g</b> | 0.07 <b>oz</b> moringa oil<br />4,5 <b>g</b> | 0.16 <b>oz</b> pollawax<br /><br /><b>cosmetic phase b’:</b><br />50 <b>g</b> | 1.76 <b>oz</b> distilled water<br />11 <b>g</b> | 0.42 <b>oz</b> rose floral water<br />10 <b>g</b> | 0.35 <b>oz</b> Chios mastic floral water<br />5 <b>g</b> | 0.18 <b>oz</b> aloe vera gel<br />1 <b>g</b> | 0.04 <b>oz</b> powdered strawberry<br /><br /><b>cosmetic phase c’:</b><br />2 <b>g</b> | 0.07 <b>oz</b> provitamin B5 (d-panthenol)<br />1 <b>g</b> | 0.04 <b>oz</b> oat silk<br />1 <b>g</b> | 0.04 <b>oz</b> broad spectrum preservative<br />0.5 <b>g</b> | 0.02 <b>oz</b> vitamin E</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">cosmetic phase d':</span></span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">1 <b>g</b> | 0.04<b> oz</b> strawberry fragrance oil <br /></span></span></span><ul><li><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Before start making the lotion, sterilise the tools, the containers and your working surface, while wear definitely gloves.</span></span></span><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></span></li><li><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Follow the cosmetic cream preparation process; <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2016/08/diy-natural-cosmetic-creams-lotions.html" target="_blank">available here</a>.</span></span></span><br /><span style="color: #666666;"></span><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></span></li><li><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">For the colouring I used a little bit of mica.

It is very easy to make and can be a creative activity during the afternoon coffee with your friends. The formula contains strawberry seed oil and mono de Tahiti butter because we want to give moisturizing properties to our soap and avoid the feeling of dry skin after bathing.</span></span></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">

Wear your gloves. If you are a beginner, it will be helpful for you <a href="https://stellacrown-elixirs.blogspot.com/2015/08/diy-melt-pour-soap-for-beginners.html" target="_blank">to read here</a>, how we make soap using the m&p method. </span></span></span></li><span style="font-family: verdana;">

Once the soap has melted, remove the pan from the heat and stir. Add the color and mix lightly. When the temperature of the soap reaches 60 degrees Celsius, add the strawberry oil, the monoi de Tahiti butter and the fragrance oil. Stir again.</span></span></span></li><span style="font-family: verdana;">

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span face="" style="color: #666666;">For the strawberry leaves, I melted white soap base (about 100 g), added green pastry colouring and poured the soap into the mold using a pipette.</span></span></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">
