I don't call it a cream. It's an oil that stays on your wrists like a whisper of touch. Afterwards, your skin doesn't smell like perfume, but like itself - only softer .
I make rose and neroli oil myself. It is kept in a glass bottle, next to my notebook. Sometimes I apply a drop - before a walk, sometimes - at night, on my collarbones.
Rose Neroli Body Butter Recipe (DIY)
Base oil:
30 ml jojoba oil or almond oil (non-comedogenic, easily absorbed)
Aromatic composition:
4 drops of rose essential oil (absolute is better)
2 drops neroli oil
1 drop lavender or vanilla oil - optional, for depth
1 drop sandalwood oil - for earthiness
How to mix:
Take a clean glass bottle (preferably with a pipette)
Add essential oils to the base
Shake it, let it sit in the shade for a day
Keep cool
How to use:
Apply to damp skin after shower - 3 drops per area
You can: on your temples, behind your ears, on your décolleté or even in your hair
Ideally - in front of a notebook, in the morning or in the evening
