- 6 drops of geranium essential oil

You do not necessarily have to be a trained beautician or the like in order to produce facial care from natural cosmetics yourself. With step-by-step instructions, you can mix a face gel yourself at home.
How to make a facial moisturizing gel
- Have the ingredients, a suitable container and a scale that can accurately measure grams ready for your homemade facial gel.
- Weigh the lavender hydrolat and the aloe vera juice one after the other in a small bowl on the scales.
- Immediately after weighing, pour both ingredients into the container provided.
- Mix these two together well.
- Adjust the stirring rod before you let the weighed guar gum trickle into the prepared ingredients.
- If you added all of the flour while the stirring rod was running, you should continue stirring the almost finished facial care gel for 30 seconds.
- Set this mixture aside for 15 minutes so that it can soak through.
- Then add the other ingredients, except for the alcohol, to the mixture and stir everything again.
- Finally, add the alcohol. This is important for the durability of your facial care.

Store the facial care gel correctly
- You can now transfer the stirred gel into a cosmetic bottle that you can close.
- Put a sticker on the bottle to write the date of manufacture and the contents.
- With preservation, the gel has a shelf life of about three months.
- Note that the gel must be shaken before each use, as the water and oils separate if the product is not used for a longer period of time.
