face cream

How do I make a face cream made out of milk?
I need a face cream recipe that will preserve the milk for long periods of time. Kind of like the creams made out of milk that are at Walgreens and other places. I don't want to use any parabens. Any ideas?
Honestly love you'd be better just using olive oil.
5 Reasons All Face Creams are not Created Equal
All face creams are not created equal. You can find synthetic and natural face cream. Indeed, many cosmetic preparations consist mainly of scented synthetic ingredients, large media campaigns and expensive brightly colored packaging.
It is a frightening fact that major brands often contain dangerous chemicals such as toluene, triclosan and phenol carbolic acid. Here are five more reasons you may not be aware of yet.
1. First of all, all face creams are not made from natural ingredients. High quality, natural ingredients that target specific concerns such as inflammation, wrinkles, roughness or sagging , baggy eyes will serve you well when you are trusting a product for your sensitive skin. Check out product literature to assure you are getting only the finest, most easily absorbed natural essential elements to plump up and renew your skin cells. Avoid alcohol and mineral oil based products that cause chapping and irritation.
2. Second, a natural face cream may not be natural at all. Just because the label says so doesn’t mean it is necessarily so. Put your faith in products made to exacting clinical standards. Find out more in natural face cream labels and directions. Avoid strange chemical names and look for natural antioxidants like vitamin A,C and E.
3. Third, extensive, expensive advertising is not any proof of efficacy. This would seem to be so obvious but many consumers are swayed by lovely, elegant graphic designs and elaborate advertising on billboards, radio and TV. You will never look like the starlets in these ads or drive the expensive cars they drive or wear their classy fashionable outfits by purchasing these brand name cosmetics. Your skin will be improved by daily use of a face cream that deals with environmental stressors and creates the proper biochemical conditions for hydration and cell repair.
4. Fourth, some waxes and oils are not easily absorbed into the skin in a way that is useful. Choose a face cream made with easily absorbed oils such as 100% natural plant based glycerine. Avoid mineral oil, a common ingredient that may cause sensitivity in some individuals. The purpose is better looking skin, not a beet red face and neck area after all.
5. And fifth, the water used to manufacture certain face creams may contain SOC (synthetic organic chemicals) that are not beneficial to your health. Truly clean, natural spring water is not always the choice for some manufacturers. Municipal water is only as good as their city filters and safe guards. Search out and choose a face cream made by a company that cares enough to never use any ingredients with any question marks at all about their safety.
I found a company that wants to make the best natural face cream with the most effective ingredients available. I like their intense laboratory testing and evaluation. I feel very confident that the ingredients are not only safe to put on my skin but also that the face cream is truly natural.

No complaints..works well  by Cleder from New York City on 2010-02-26 Works well...my skin is usually rough from the day when I put the cream on at night. Overnight, my skin heals. It's great. The only annoying part is that it doesn't really "soak" into my skin. When I shower in the morning, I feel the cream sticky on my face. No big deal though..still a good product
Night Moisturizer  by Honest from on 2010-02-10 Goes on smooth. The shipping cost took away from the discount of the item.

So-So  by E. Bridges from North Carolina on 2010-06-02 This cream didn't break me out, but it didn't clear my acne either. It didn't make my skin spectacularly smooth, but it didn't rough it up either. It didn't clear up any of my old spots, so I'm not blown away by this product, considering the price.
Great product!  by Rebecca R. Schaffer from Atlanta, GA USA on 2009-09-11 I had bad melasma and this skin care line has almost cleared it all up. It has been a life saver!

ReviewsWorth more than 5 stars...  by Ms. High Standards Consumer from Livonia, MI United States on 2010-08-18 Like many other reviewers I started using this on the advice of my dermatologist for its non-comedogenic property. It's fabulous as a moisturizing face cream but it also works like a healing agent on sunburns (so cooling), and on cold sores that are in the drying up stage and on skin that is the victim of too much chlorine in a public swimming pool. Good for little kids and senior citizens and everyone in between. I've been using it for 27 years and twice within the past year I've been mistaken for my daughters' sister! For those with dry skin, more applications are probably needed.
Dermatologist reccomended for dry skin  by Helen R from on 2010-07-22 A dermatologist recommended this to me years ago, and I use it every day. I love it. My skin always feels moisturized. I only have to use it in the morning, and it lasts all day.
CARE ABOUT NATURE  by Loves Nature from PA on 2010-05-27 I have used this product for many years after it was recommended by a Dermatologist. I like this product because it does not cause my skin to breakout. I would highly recommend this product for someone that has issues with face creams causing breakouts.
complex 15  by P. Noble from ohio on 2010-05-10 I've been using complex 15 for many, many years. Use to be able to but it at stores, now only on internet. It's an amazing product, not greasy at all, contains phospholipids which maintains a moisture balance. I absolutely love it.
very mild  by Katydid from Barrington, IL on 2010-04-08 This product is not to heavy and is very gentle on extremely sensitive skin. Now that I've found it, I plan on using it as long as it is available.

Reviewsthis stuff is amazing!  by S. Angelucci from on 2010-09-07 I started to notice a few trouble areas around my eyes, forehead, and frown lines so I searched for an anti-aging product to use and settled on this one. I am truly amazed! In two weeks it took care of everything, seriously. I am only 30 so the areas were very minor but it is still amazing. Even better, I have had a pretty nasty spider bite scar on my neck for the past few years that always drives me crazy because it is very noticeable (very red and large, it looks like a giant pimple at all times), it has shrunk and is not red anymore at all. I could not be happier about this, I have tried so many creams to try to make the scar less noticeable. All in all, I love this cream!
no miracles but good  by Feles31 from Honolulu, HI United States on 2010-09-02 I don't expect miracles from any wrinkle cream. This one is light, has a hint of a slight flowery scent, seems to help a bit with acne and wrinkles. For the price, satisfied with results.
My new night cream!  by skoc50 from on 2010-08-29 I've been using this cream for some time now and I can attest that it works! I'm approaching 60 so I have my share of wrinkles. The area I'm particularly impressed with is the chest area. I don't go in the sun a lot because I'm very fair skinned, but over the years I've been to my share of soccer & baseball games with my sons. I always had make-up on at games that had SPF protection so my face has faired better. But the exposed chest area has noticeably wrinkled over the years. It's hardly noticeable anymore since I've been using Roc. I had been using an expensive department store brand (which also worked well), but for about 1/10 the cost, I'll stay with Roc. I have not used it around the eye area as some have mentioned. I wouldn't even consider that. There are other products for the eye area.
I buy this when it's on sale, well worth it.  by Lora M. Handiboe from Central-Maryland on 2010-08-27 I wait till this is even cheaper then the approximate $21.00 price of today. I love it and try to use it every night. It does make a difference and helps your wrinkles lessen and you look younger. I have been using RoC for about a year and there is a noticeable difference.
Noticing some help...  by mamacita from Iowa USA on 2010-07-29 I haven't been using this very long but I am noticing some change...the lines in my forehead are not as noticeable, I don't know how much better they will get with continued use, but I look forward to finding out.

ReviewsGood Exfoliation  by C. Myers from USA on 2010-05-04 I'm writing this at week 6 of using this product. My skin does not exfoliate well so I'm always looking for a product with alpha hydroxy acids to help it along. My skin problems are occasional breakouts that leave behind dark spots. I've used glycolic acid before with good results so I thought this might work for me.Overall it does what it claims to. My skin exfoliated at a faster rate than normal, and it didn't cause any unusual dryness. I did have a friend say my skin was looking good, and asked me what I was using. The one dark spot that I was particularly interested in getting rid of did fade, but not disappear completely.My skin can take the higher concentrations of AHA so I had no problem tolerating this. I think I will try a product with mandelic acid for the dark spot. They used that on me at my local day spa and it worked great. I would recommend this product as a good general maintenance kit for anyone interested in exfoliating/antiaging, but not specifically as an acne solution unless your acne is mild. Overall it's a good product that does what it claims.I did find the bottle of toner a bit unusual. You place your cotton pad on top and pump it. Took me a minute to figure out how to use it.
Great Product!  by Robin A. Taylor from Lexington, SC on 2010-04-18 I purchased this set for the anti-aging properties. I love it! I actually use the cleanser after I have cleaned my makeup off - more like a three minute mask. I then use the toner, and then the moisturizer. I have dry skin overall, but have some minor break-outs on my chin. This system has helped both - my breakouts have cleared up and my skin tone is more vibrant and fresh-looking. This may irritate some with sensitive skin and they may need to ease into usage, but I have been using salycilic acid and retin-a for some time now, so may skin easily tolerates twice daily usage - and seems to be the only product I need right now, so overfall, it's also saving me money...will repurchase as soon as I need to. Highly recommend.
I love these products together in a set.  by S. Horton from Overland Park,KS on 2010-04-18 I really like these products and especially the fact that you can buy them in a set. The cleanser works very well at cleaning the face,neck and decolletage areas and then follow with the toner. Afterward use the cream on all areas but be careful to not use around the eye area! I would highly recomment these products as I have noticed significant changes in age spots, scars and discolorations on my face. You should also be well pleased with this purchase.
Best stuff on earth  by RD from Virginia Beach, VA on 2010-02-03 I have been using this product for 16 years and I can tell you that I never have a blemish or breakout or have any lines and my skin looks great. Before I would blemish and my skin was oily and shiny looking. People compliment me on my complexion all the time now. I look like I have baby skin now. Highly recommended.
Radiant  by Patricia M. Hogan from West Palm Beach, FL on 2010-01-21 I have been using the Aqua Glycolic system for 2 weeks now and my skin looks amazing. The first week I used it I had some breakouts but I believe it was from the system clearing out my pores. I have some melasma spots on my forehead and upper lip area that are fading very quickly and my skin just glows. I have even noticed a huge reduction in fine lines around my eyes. I had used this product a few years back with no success but decided to give another try after reading how many users use the cleaner as a mask. I keep the cleanser on for 2-3 minutes then was it off with a white facial cloth. I pat my face dry then apply the toner, wait until it drys then apply the cream. I am so impressed!

ReviewsNot effective for thick, chronic hair  by Ray from AUSTIN, TX, US on 2010-08-18 I am Mediterranean and have thick hair. I tried this to see if it would be an effective alternative to shaving or waxing -- it's not. I followed the directions to the "T," and I got a slight burning sensation on my skin and all my hair completely unchanged. If this sounds like you, you may wanna stick to waxing.Also, although I did receive the product on time, it is NOT a "package of 3." They really, really need to change the byline.
very pleased  by Amazonaphile from New Mexico on 2010-06-22 This bleach works very well. My skin isn't particularly sensitive, but it did get a little red after using the bleach. The redness lasted for most of that day. By the next day it was gone and there was no lasting redness or dryness. I would recommend this.
Works Great for Me  by Momof2Girls from Austin, TX on 2010-04-19 This works great for me. The only thing I noticed is that it loses it's effect after a few months and I need to buy a new one, so I never actually finished a whole tube.
Nair Hair Remover  by Nugma from USA on 2010-02-11 Item was not received as a Pack of 3 as noted. Be very careful when using this product, follow directions careful or you will burn your face if the product is left on longer than instructed.
Works great!  by KathyP from on 2010-01-28 I was skeptical after reading some reviews that said the individuals had experienced a lot of redness, pain, and bumps. I have sensitive skin, so I was worried I would get bumps and that it would burn alot. However, it really worked great! No bumps, and minimal pain. I left it on for longer than you are supposed to and I couldn't even feel it, but all the fuzz is gone! It smells good too. Definitely recommend.

GREAT PRODUCT!!  by Tina L. Donaldson from LOS OSOS, CA on 2009-07-21 THE WHOLE C ESTA LINE BY JAN MARINI IS GREAT. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG. IT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF A SMELL, BUT, YOUR FACE WILL NOT STINK.

ReviewsNot a complete review, will update on lightening after longer use....  by avidreader251 from on 2010-08-23 I've been using this caviar cream for about 2 weeks. About the product, I was hesitant to pay so much for only 1 ounce of cream, but you don't have to use very much of it. One "finger dip" is enough to cover my whole face. It will leave your skin shiny with a slight greasy feeling (my skin is normal to dry), so if you have oily skin this may give you breakouts. It is scented, but I find it to be a light, pleasant scent and not strong or overpowering. And the jar is not glass, maybe they changed the packaging but mine is plastic and not heavy at all.I'm a dark skinned African-American. I use the cream twice a day, under my makeup in the morning and at night after I've cleaned my face. I've always had smooth, bump-free skin so I bought the cream primarily to help even my color and to fade the embarrassing hereditary dark circles around my eyes that I've had since I was little (I just turned 30). In the 2 weeks I've used the cream I've noticed my skin looks even smoother and is softer, but no lightening just yet and I understand it takes time to see those results, if any. In the meantime, I ordered the Oralight pills to see if that will do anything for my body, especially my rear end and my knees. I will try to keep this review updated as I notice more results with the cream.
It works!  by L. FERRER from on 2010-06-06 I only recommend products to my friends that have worked for me & not based on what other people say. I tried this one with the Makari whitening pills & the pills worked for my body & this cream helped a lot making my face lighter and even-toned. I can now go out without make up on sometimes and I'd say this is worth it, instead of buying costly make up to cover the uneven skin tone I've always had.
Working beautifully  by OrganicMango from San Jose, CA on 2009-12-26 I am an Asian woman who has had problems with melasma and brown spots due to sun exposure for a number of years. A large area of my face was affected. I have been using Makari for a month and a half or so and the dark areas are much, much lighter. I may be imagining things, but it seems the wrinkles around my eyes are less noticeable, as well. Overall my skin looks great. I have been getting more rest and exercise these days, so that might be a contributing factor to my looking more youthful, but those embarssing dark areas on my face are definitely significantly lighter. I was lucky not to suffer any acne breakouts, either.
Smoother skin  by Lacrymosa777 from Washington D.C. on 2009-11-12 I tried it until the jar was empty and my skin has a much smoother appearance, but I did not notice any lighter appearance. I did have a few people to compliment me on my skin, but I think the product is priced way too high for what it claims to do. I have tried another less expensive product for fading black spots and pigmentations on skin and it works much better for only 1/4 of the price of this product. If you want an overpriced moisterizer this product is for you.
Blotch be Gone  by Ebony from Seattle on 2009-10-04 So far the cream is working fairly well. Purchased to get rid of facial scars. It works pretty slowly but it does appear to be working. I just put a little on each scar twice a day. Its not too greasy and the scars are blending in.
