diy moisturising facial gel-cream with aloe vera & evening primrose

aloe vera & evening primrose gel-cream by Stella Crown

Some years ago, in my first attempts to make creams and lotions, I tried to make a moisturizing gel-cream for my face. This came up because I have oily skin and cold cream, the only cream I made at that time, it was totally greasy for me. It was also a quick solution with easy ingredients, to have a cream immediately, because the only thing I had to do was just mixing. It's basically aloe vera gel, in which I added soy lecithin and voila! a refreshing cream with sweet and pleasant fragrance that leaves the skin hydrated and silky.

If you want a moisturizing facial cream but would like to avoid excess oiliness, then you need a gel-based skin care product which will provide all the hydration that your skin needs. Gel-based products, unlike lotions, are absorbed easily, they are lightweight and don’t become sticky.
