With summer, the sun’s rays caress the skin and leave it beautifully bronzed. Sublimating oils can be very pleasant, as they help enhance the tan. This adds a nice shine and some fine, glamorous glitter that goes well with a summer dress. In addition, this product is often rich in beneficial plant oils for the skin, which helps soothe it as well as enhance it. After a day facing the heat, salt, or chlorine, the skin loves this touch of absolutely non-greasy dry oil. Of course, you can find this product in stores. However, the price might put off more than one! But fear not! Grandma has found a recipe for a 100% natural, organic, vegan, and gentle skin sublimating oil that is also very easy to make.
With this beauty oil, no more feelings of warmth and parched or dull skin after sun exposure!
The ingredients:
40 g of vegetable oil
5 g of organic oil macerate (vanilla, monoi, or calendula)
0.9 g or 33 drops of natural cosmetic fragrance of your choice (monoi, vanilla, coconut, exotic flowers…)
2 g of gold mica powder
4 drops of liquid vitamin E
Which oils to choose for your sublimating oil?
To avoid an unpleasant greasy feeling, it is important to choose your vegetable oil carefully. You can also combine several oils based on your preferences and budget. To prevent a greasy film, consider options like:
-Macadamia oil (softening, soothing, nourishing, anti-dehydration, and circulation-promoting)
-Hazelnut oil (very penetrative, healing, and softening)
-Or passion fruit oil (lightly scented, antioxidant, regenerative, anti-dehydrating, leaving the skin silky)
You can also use richer oils that are pleasant and help enhance the skin. This includes apricot oil (illuminating, toning, softening, and revitalizing) or coconut oil (nourishing and gently scented). Carrot oil has a tanning effect and softens the skin. Alternatively, simple sweet almond oil will protect the skin from dryness and stretch marks.
Ready with all the ingredients? Let’s start making the sublimating oil!
1) In a clean container, carefully mix your oils with the chosen macerate.
2) Then, add the other ingredients one by one, making sure to stir between each addition.
3) Once everything is well incorporated, transfer the mixture into a clean/sterilized airtight bottle. A small funnel is very helpful here.
And there you go! It’s ready.
