Ready to try it yourself? This recipe takes under five minutes and makes enough for several applications. Always start small and adjust based on how your skin responds.
Gather and prepare your workspace: Clean a small glass jar and spoon. If your coconut oil is solid, gently warm it in a microwave-safe bowl for 10-15 seconds until it melts into a liquid.
Mix the base: In a clean bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 3 tablespoons of melted coconut oil. Stir thoroughly until it forms a smooth, creamy paste. The texture should feel spreadable but not watery.
Add the extras: Stir in 1 teaspoon of raw honey if using, followed by 5-10 drops of lavender essential oil. Mix well to distribute everything evenly. The result is a thick, white cream that smells lightly floral.
Store properly: Scoop the mixture into your clean jar. Keep it at room temperature away from direct sunlight. It should last up to two weeks — give it a quick stir before each use if it separates slightly.
That’s it. No fancy equipment, no complicated steps. Just simple ingredients transformed into a fresh homemade cream.
How to Use Your Homemade Cream Safely in Your Nighttime Routine
Now that your cream is ready, the real question is how to fit it into your evening habits without overdoing it. Consistency matters, but so does listening to your skin.
Start by cleansing your face as usual. Apply a thin layer of the cream to clean, dry skin on your face and neck using clean fingertips. Many people incorporate it 2-3 times per week before bed, allowing it to sit for 10-15 minutes before gently rinsing with lukewarm water or leaving a very light veil if your skin tolerates it well.
But wait — here’s the part worth paying close attention to: always perform a patch test first on a small area of your inner arm. Wait 24 hours to check for any redness or sensitivity. If everything feels good, you’re ready to go.
