 Good morning guys welcome back to my channel today I'm going to show you how to make this also regenerating face balm for your skin just for the face. You can make other body buns and things like that but I thought I'd start off by just doing a face balm today and maybe later on my channel I'll show you guys how to make a body balm if you guys want to let me know if you do in the comments below. So I also want to share I am having my candles going in the background I just want them to be relaxing and never show you the burning of my candles at all since I've made them so I am not going to have them going in the background just as like a soothing little background thing yeah so when I see people's videos and have cameras going in the background it's always relaxing for me and it's nice to have them going there even just my own relaxing benefit yeah so these turn a little bit so I'm going to remount them again soon and make them flat again and then do the burn again with the whole top to make sure that it burns evenly again because I kind of stopped it a little bit early because it was getting really dark at night and I wanted to go to bed and I don't like leaving candles on and going throughout the night you know just in case like a fire hazard so I did both amounts and I thought they're probably gonna tunnel now and they did so word to the wise always let your candles burn completely on the top melt them just a little bit so that the top of the wax is completely melted that way they will have like a wax memory and then melt evenly from then on now going off topic we're going to talk about face farms now so I'll get straight back to doing that so this face balm is like a regenerating skin like face balm it's got so many different ingredients in this one the mind the background noise it's just some kids outside no one's getting murdered really the ones there's so many different ones you can make though the other idea actually from plastic freema made from her face balm that she uses after going to the beach because she lives near the sea and it's just really good for going out in the sun all the time and when your skin's exposed to like the elements such as the sun dry weather the wind it just can dry out a little bit so that's her face balm I'm going to make you more like regenerating one just for the few different ingredients can mix in with her ingredients a bit of other ingredients to make this ultimate regenerating face balm again it can be used for when you have dry skin it's mainly this one will be best to use before going to bed at night just have it over the night let it kind of rejuvenate its skin a little bit but if there are just so many different ones so if you guys are interested in wanting to kind of look into it more you can find so many different face balms out there on the in the depths of the internet you'll be able to find some different recipes but I'll just start off with this one today and then maybe you guys interested let me know if you want me to share some other face balms for different things as well and I'll have to do that as well so I'm going to be using candelilla I think that's how you say it though candelilla wax because it's going to be a vegan face balm you can swap out candelilla for beeswax if you want to use beeswax it's two tablespoons of beeswax but today I'm just going to be using one and a half tablespoons of candelilla wax and I'll also be using pink clay in this recipe it is so wonderful for skin types who are sensitive so if you have a sensitive skin a sensitive skin if you have sensitive skin this is a great clay to use because it's much more gentle on the skin compared to things like bentonite clay which is a bit more harsh I guess so we're going to be using that in the face mask as well so this is Australian pink clay they got from Bayomi I'm gonna get down the description below if you guys are looking for where to get it pink clay is really good as well because it's rich in antioxidants and helps to hydrate skin and also works to help minimize fine lines and slow down the aging process and skin as well so super important wood pink clay we're also going to be using sheer butter I got some sort of organic sheer butter and that's really wonderful because it contains vitamins A and E which are wonderful for skin so this is really really good I'm using that as well and it just looks like it's a smooth and that's going to be what we're going to rub into our skin the moisturizing side to our body butter today sheer butter is also great for helping to treat tired or damaged skin we have hemp seed oil you can just sub in olive oil or jujube oil I've been using hemp seed because it's just so many wonderful properties and I don't think I've used this hemp oil since I bought it I was like this is great way to start using it I'm going to start using it on my face palms so that's also what I'm using it today then we have some cacao butter this again is going to be great for the moisturizing side for the face balm so you don't have to use cacao butter in this recipe this is an optional ingredient but I thought I'd add an extra layer of moisturizing properties to the face balm today I'll be using my essential oils that I made so my lavender essential oil one is coconut and one is the alcohol based one I'm just going to use both of them today because I haven't been using them much lately and I was like I'll get back into using them again so I'm using that as well as some cast oil which is great for skin I've got some rosehip oil this is great because in the original recipe they said to infuse roses with some olive oil and how many rose petals with me so I'm just going to be using rosehip oil as the sub in and that's also great for skin if you see in my pink clay face mask I do combine pink clay with rosehip oil because both together are just like an ultimate combo for your skin super nourishing skin is great as well if you have acne things rosehip oil can be really good for that rosehip oil is also really good because it can be very reparative to skin hence what's really good for acne just wonderful for skin in general so that's why we're using this one today then the essential oils of today are going to be frankincense and geranium in the lavender because they're really wonderful for the skin balm face balm you can also use jasmine oil or honey myrtle oil as well like those essential oils if you'd like they also recommended to be used in face balms as well they come with very different properties yeah that's basically all the ingredients we're going to be using today so let's begin I can't even see my candles burning because the the lip like the lip candle is so low in there it'll be soon time to move my mouth again oh well it's good to just purifying the air for me so I'm just going to be using a little mason jar to put the ingredients in today because we're going to put into a pot of water later to melt the wax and butter so we'll do that first so I'm going to clean this table because dirty should make sure to have a clean work area before we start my bed so you're gonna grab your mason jar you may want it to be a little bigger than this just in case I am not sure exactly how much this will make because it's a lot of in my own recipe so they're with me we did need to change classes halfway through yeah so maybe just go the big one to begin with but I'm just gonna start off small just because I'm hoping it'll save me washing up later so grab your mason jar then you're gonna add in one tablespoon of coconut butter coconut butter wrong thing cacao butter this one is just by loving earth I actually like their brand certified organic cacao butter which is exactly what you want so your one tablespoon and put that in and turn out to still any of the sides like I did subtly brush that back in then you want a quarter cup of hemp oil and it's gonna be challenging because I haven't opened it yet one moment got it again you can just sub in olive oil or rose a petal infused olive oil we want to make it really fancy if you want to do the rose petal one we need to do is grab two tablespoons of dried rose petals organic preferably then you want to put them into a quarter cup of olive oil and then if infused overnight then you strain it out squeeze the petals to make sure you get all the juice all the properties are those petals then you can compost them and then you have your infused rose petal oil already to go so no note there then again we're gonna grab our one and a half tablespoons of candelilla wax so this is the first time I'm actually using candelilla wax on my channel I found the biome store up when I was in Queensland and they were selling candelilla wax unfortunately didn't have my own containers so I said I can borrow one of their brown herb bags it's like an eco-friendly option rather than using it in plastic and this is just basically what the wax looks like you can see that it's a little bit different of beeswax similar kind of color and spring in on the table oops the animal just chuckled that in just put that back in now it's gonna know so we're gonna need one and a half tablespoons of that but if you are wanting to use beeswax because you're not really into making the vegan version or you want to use the health properties of beeswax with it just combine two tablespoons of beeswax into your face balm I just like how we to use less of the candelilla wax for this recipe and also I want to try out some very excited I've never used it before this is the very exciting moment for me I get excited about using new wax it's as good as my life gets now we're just gonna melt this on the stove until it's melted completely I like to do it under the low low heat I put it into a saucepan cover it with water so that the waterline comes above the oil line in the cup and then I just can't turn it on to a soft boil then gently turn it into like a simmer and just let that kind of heat and melt away so it's completely melted continually stirring throughout to make sure that it melts faster and then once it's done take it off heat and bring it back out here so I'm gonna do that now my gosh side note forgot to add in the shea butter my bad guys we're carried away welcome to you guys so we're gonna add in the shea butter now they're gonna throw them in at the start of the melting so you're just gonna add in a quarter of a cup of shea butter preferably before you put it in with the hot water and I'm just gonna stir that round carefully so you don't spill the water everywhere as you can see that's done now so it's completely clear which is exactly what you want that's when you know the wax is melted with the shea butter and the cacao butter that's what you want at the end so I'm just gonna cool slide before I add in all the other ingredients so it's time to set now as you can see it's becoming a little opaque color so I'm gonna add in the other ingredients so I'm going to need about one tablespoon of castor oil I've got enough in there just enough I just quickly put my jar of butters and wax into some hot water because it's starting to set a little bit too quickly quicker than I anticipated so I put it in there and it's just helped keep it melted while I add in the other ingredients so add in the cast oil now we're gonna add in half a teaspoon of pink clay and now we're gonna add in about half a tablespoon to a tablespoon of rosehip oil then we're gonna add in about eight drops of lavender essential oil so I'm gonna do eight drops of the alcohol based one eight drops of my coconut oil based one and then you need eight drops of geranium essential oil and then eight drops of frankincense essential oil it's a bit of a pattern happening eight drops of everything you can vary the amounts if you want more of one a cent than the other or if you just want to use one cent only that's cool too very flexible that's nice and again if you want to use high myrtle or if you want to use jasmine essential oil can add in eight drops of those or you can add in more or less depending on how strong you want it to be now it's gonna mix that all through until it's well combined so once that's mixed through comes a lovely kind of pinkish tinged color and we're gonna pop that to the side and then you can just let this cool and then put it on your garden where it's done I'll leave over here cool just tip the water on my garden saves on wasting water and then you're gonna grab your jars and you're gonna pour in the wax before it starts to set into your glass containers I've just got one clear and one dark color if you want it to keep the properties the dark colors always better for that because of essential oils they're quite sensitive to light so keeping it in a darker color like dark containers better unless you're just gonna store it in the cupboard which is what I'm going to do I'm storing in my bathroom cupboard where it's dark so I'm gonna get affected by lights not too much noise that's close it should begin to set so you don't have to put in the fridge I'm just gonna mind set at room temperature and I'll slowly start to set over the next few hours but if you want to set faster you can put it into the fridge don't put in the freezer there because going from hot to cold you can crack the glass and that would be good so just make sure if you want to set just set it in the fridge if you want to be faster or to leave at room temperature for the next couple of hours and I'll be ready to go I'll be back with you guys in a few hours to show you what looks like at the end once it's set like a nice pink tinge to them from the pink clay if you want it to be more pink and to the stronger effect you can add a bit more clay in if you'd like but they look so good so when you want to use it you just apply a little bit so you'd like cleaned your face cleaned your face maybe even moisturize a little bit and just before you go to bed you just grab a little bit of the cream like so it's quite moist very hydrating a lot of good oils in there and then you just rub it around your face if you wanted to use it as a makeup remover you just apply it on your eyes or wherever the makeup is and you just gently rub it in and then when you're finished rubbing it in you grab a nice damp cloth a gentle cloth and you just rub it away you know help to rub away any makeup this is a great natural makeup remover so once you've washed it away after you've removed the makeup you can fill up with some like lukewarm water a toner or even some flower water just to apply it to your face to help remove any leftover residue from the makeup now just be careful to not get any of the balm in your eyes because I have a sense of oils in it and it can sting quite a bit so you'll be careful when you're doing that another way to use this balm or any other type of face balm is just to dampen your face a little bit with some lukewarm water or you can use a damp cloth just damp in your face then you just grab a chickpea sized amount of the face balm faked balm the face balm and like this you can use a spoon or spatula as well and you just rub it in to your face gently using circular motions rub it round and see you cover all your face and then you can opt to opt to wash it off afterwards just using a damp cloth wash it away that's if you're using it for makeup especially you can wash it away or you can do what I used to do and just leave it on overnight when you are in bed and wake up with smooth skin so yeah I hope you guys enjoyed today's video it's been so much fun making this video guys I love making things like this face balms are new to me actually again I got the idea of plastic free mermaid when she uses it after being in the sun a lot I think that's a great idea so I will be using this a lot this summer for the remaining part of the summer I'll be using this when I go outside just to keep my skin hydrated I find it gets quite dry and just yeah really super dry from being out in the sun in the wind so this would be a great way to help with that yeah I hope you guys enjoyed today's video do let me know if you've made face balm before or if you have a different recipe for a face balm I'd love to try it out thank you so much for watching and I'll see you again hopefully in my next video
