Introducing a potent remedy in your quest for skin clarity – the DIY Cream for Melasma Solution. Unveil the natural potential of avocado and flaxseed, as they combine to achieve radiant skin. Discover the empowering world of natural skincare, where these ingredients blend to provide a viable solution for melasma concerns.

Ingredients Needed

  • Pure cream base. It is described as base because it is raw and pure, with no additives. So it has no oils, extracts, color or fragrance added to it. It is meant to be a base to which you add your own additives to make the cream or lotion that you desire.
  • Flaxseed carrier oil
  • Avocado carrier oil
  • Lavender carrier oil
  • Essential oils: frankincense and tea tree
  • Optional: oily color powder

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products. Also, where an essential oil is included in my recipes, I utilize either of two types of essential oils: pure if added in drops, or diluted if mixed in grams—For diluted essential oil, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of pure essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.

Tools Needed

  • Scale to weigh quantities
  • Two bowls
  • Wooden popsicle
  • Small whisk
  • Glass container to store your DIY Cream for Melasma Solution

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.
