A SKINCARE fan has proved that sometimes the best products can be found right at home.
Lia is an Alaska-based digital content creator with a knack for taking regular ingredients and creating something brand new.
“I started out using it every day and then just kind of stopped,” she prefaced. “But when I do use it, it does feel amazing on the skin.”
She claimed the homemade emollient transformed her skin.
“I am not nearly as dry,” she revealed. “I don’t break out nearly as much either.”
She described the consistency of the product, which bears a similarity to higher-end skincare products.

“This stuff is super whipped, almost like a mousse,” she said. “It doesn’t leave your skin feeling super oily.”
The lotion is versatile, according to Lia, and can be used on many parts of the body.
“I do use this for my hands, for my face, for my all over body,” she said. “My husband loves it as well.”
She specified using earl grey tea as a secret ingredient, but that one could substitute tea with rose water or lavender water.
“You could do just plain water,” she added. “Kind of whatever you want.”
Lia revealed that she will be making more variations of the winning skincare product.
“I did buy a whole lot more ingredients to make some different variations of the lotion,” she said. “To kind of test out different things and see what we like.”
She shared the ingredients used to make the DIY cream, which yielded a decent amount of product.
“These are the ingredients that I used,” she said, listing 2 tablespoons beeswax, 3/4 cup coconut oil, 2 tablespoons avocado oil, 1 teaspoon magnesium, 6 drops of tea tree oil, 10 drops lavender oil, and 1/4 cup tea.
“And that made two half-pint jars of it,” she added.
The skincare fan assured that she will be making the lotion again in the near future.
“Once I’m out of this, I will be making more and definitely sharing that with you guys,” she shared.
