Clean Moisturising Cream
Preparation Time | 30 - 45 mins
Benefits of MCT Oil in Moisturising Cream:
- MCT oil is easily absorbed by the skin, making it an excellent moisturiser for both the face and body.- Its lightweight texture helps to hydrate the skin without leaving a greasy residue, making it suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin.
- MCT oil contains medium-chain fatty acids, which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for soothing and calming irritated or inflamed skin.
- The presence of MCT oil in this homemade moisturising cream helps to lock in moisture and prevent trans epidermal water loss, keeping the skin hydrated and supple.
- Regular use of MCT oil-based moisturising cream can help improve skin texture, promote a healthy skin barrier, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
