A Bit Greasy For The Face
I've been making my own waterless skin care products for nearly 2 decades. This is what I tend to call a salve due to it's consistency, which is thin & greasy (it is solid, but it goes on thin, not creamy). It is okay for overnight use, but under makeup it's rather unpleasant. A teensy amount is all that is required when applied to the face.<br /><br />The ingredients are fine, but not organic. The jar is nice. It's amber glass with a silver metal screw top. The jar is reusable & I know I will be doing just that.<br /><br />The smell is fine. Frankincense is a great essential oil for aging skin.<br /><br />If I had realized this would be so greasy, I would have never ordered it. It is a tad too greasy for the summer & high humidity & it is still a tad too greasy & not moisturizing enough in the winter with extremely low humidity. This is fine as a hand, foot, & skin salve, but not for the face.<br /><br />While I like that this is handmade, I probably would not order it again.
