Night cream with Lavandin and Juniper EO
Κρέμα νυκτός με αιθερία έλαια Λεβαντίνης και Αρκεύθου 

Last few months, aside from making soap, I've been anxious to try something new, something else that I could use without waiting for the curing time to pass. I wanted to make a face cream for some time now, but I didn't have the necessary emulgators, thickeners and preservatives. To tell you the truth, I was a little unsure if I could handle the process, but after reading a lot and asking my friends who are face cream veterans the right questions, I ordered the supplies and gave it a shot. Here it is, my first face cream. It turned out to be somewhat heavy for my skin (combination skin), . Of course, I couldn't stop at one, so others followed. Next step was an emulsified sugar scrub, but more about some other time...
