Olive Oil is rich in vitamins A & E, when used regularly, both of these vitamins help stimulate blood flow in the skin and boost collagen production. As you may know, collagen is needed to keep your skin young and healthy. Vitamin E is also a natural preservative so this cream can keep for months.

Coconut oil is also a great source of vitamin E, but that’s not all, it contains Lauric acid which aids in reducing inflammation and skin bacteria. Adding coconut oil to your face cream will lock moisture into your skin and even out your skin tone.

Wheatgerm oil contains vitamins B6 & E, and folic acid. Both vitamins help rejuvenate and lighten the skin. This oil is also known for its excellent emollient properties, which means that it can make your skin very soft and moist for long hours. 

Beeswax helps lock moisture into the skin which keeps the skin soft all day long and also acts as a binding agent for homemade creams and lotions.

How To Make DIY Anti-Aging Olive Oil Facial Night Cream

This simple and easy-to-make night cream contains five ingredients in total and takes about 10 minutes to make.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil 
  • 2 tbsp solidified coconut oil 
  • 1/2 tbsp grated beeswax 
  • 3 Vit. E capsules or a few drops of Vit. E oil
  • 10 drops of wheat germ oil 

Instructions:

Start by melting the beeswax with the olive oil in a double boiler or in the microwave. Remove from heat and mix in the coconut, wheatgerm, vitamin E, and essential oil. Using an electric whisk, mix the ingredients until evenly combined and fluffy.

Transfer into a clean, dry jar with a lid and store in a cool dry place or in the fridge for up to 3 months. Note: Let the cream sit in the fridge overnight to become solid. If your’s remain liquid, melt an extra 2 tablespoons of beeswax and mix it into the cream.

Apply this olive oil cream to your face as you would any cream before bedtime. I usually wash my face and pat it dry with a clean towel before applying the cream.

Continue with your daily beauty routine in the morning and make sure to only apply this cream at night.
