Let’s look at how to make an anti-aging balm using the same method as we did for our all-purpose skin healing salve!

I made use of the natural pink color of St John’s Wort Oil.
Also, pomegranate oil is added because it’s excellent for the skin’s anti-aging effect, blending with essential oils – mainly fragrant flowers such as rose and jasmine – to finish into a balm that enhances femininity.

Rosy balm

• Shea butter (13ml)
• St John’s Wort oil (5ml)
• Pomegranate oil (5ml)
• Beeswax (1 ml)
• Essential oil:
  • Bergamot (2 drops)
  • Lavender (1 drop)
  • Rose (1 drop)
  • Palmarosa (1 drop)
  • Geranium (1 drop)
  • Jasmine (1 drop)

1. Put the shea butter, St John’s Wort oil, pomegranate oil and beeswax in a container and warm until it melts.
2. Once the mix has melted, add essential oils and mix well.
3. Put in a container and wait until it solidifies (about half a day).

• As a moisturizing night cream
• For removing make-up and cleansing the skin
• As a massage balm
• For relaxation (you can apply to the decollete and chest)
• Hand roughness and nail care

It also contains the anti-inflammatory shea butter and St John’s Wort oil, so is effective for rough skin and redness.

However, since St. John’s Wort and Bergamot essential oils have a photo-sensitization, it’s better to refrain from using them in places that are exposed to the sun during the day.
