The healing, moisturizing, anti-aging and lightening effects of this cream will reveal a youthful complexion.
To make it into a day cream, simply eliminate the lemon essential oil. This concoction contains bentonite clay, a healing clay known to remove toxins.
With bentonite clay as an ingredient, make sure that the cream does not come in contact with any metal, as it causes metals to leach out.
