- Massive disclaimer first of all, Everybody's skin is different I am not insisting anybody tries this it is just what I enjoying using for myself.
I do not have a skin care regime and I do not want one other than washing my face and occasionally slapping something moisturising on it to stop all the dry skin falling off.
I like to use this as a moisturiser and similar to how it was used originally as a primer before make up.
Georgiana Countess of Dudley's recipe book is available here.

My recipe for Lavender hair vinegar also came from there

All my ingredients are available from health food shops and soap making suppliers.
I like to use infused oils you can see my video on how to make them here

Review video coming soon.
When we made cold cream in school when I was 16, my teacher said to make sure that the water and the fat were the same temperature before adding the water to the fat, because it made the emulsification easier.
I think the very first recipe I tried which was a modern one said to do the same thing. However for these experiments I really wanted to just follow them exactly as written. Adding Borax helps with the Emulsification as well.
Love this recipe. I've been making my own natural cosmetics for over 10 years, and if you want a natural preservative that increases the shelf life up to 2 years, use benzoin essential oil (also called benjamin essential oil in some websites). Please do more recipes. Love your channel ❤️
If you add 2ml of propolis tincture to that amount it should extend the shelf life a bit. Add it to the watery part.
Thank you. I actually have no problem with the shelf life, I just don't want other people to be grossed out by my lackadaisical approach to hygiene.
Thank you, I'll try that ❤
So looking forward to the update 🥰. Absolutely loved this
I am so pleased you liked it. Review will be coming soon.
So wonderful to have so much new content from you recently. I love your videos. They’re very informative and entertaining. Thank you!
I am glad you like it. its not much from me but I will try and do a bit more in the future.
Another recipe I will be trying! Just about to strain my infused rose oils I made from your previous video! (I work slowly and forget about things...)
Well you are in perfect time for this.
Lovely idea to make ones own cold cream.
I really enjoy it. As its historical and messy.
I like this! Old recipes of any kind are sooooooo fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
I do really enjoy and old recipe as they really assume greater knowledge of all things than you can learn from a book. They expect that you have been shown how to do it properly and are just using the book for guidance.
Very nice. Your videos are comforting.
I am so glad you enjoyed it
Another wonderfully peaceful video from you, and the old fashioned pharmacy part of me loves this sort of thing.
Just a tip for anyone working with cocoa butter, don’t over heat it as this can change its setting/melting pointpoint so that it won’t solidify at room temperature. How do I know this ? Several failed batches of suppositories in a dispensing practical.
Probably not too much of a problem in cold cream with beeswax but useful to know for things with higher cocoa butter contents
Thank you for this video. I have been making my own creams for awhile. I have been interested in trying other recipes and techniques and I am going to look up the books you mentioned. Thanks!
Is there anyone who doesn't has a vast quantaty of Gu pots lol. Love this I might have to try them both
I get given other peoples ones too now as they see that I use them.
I'm so intrigued by these recipes. Looks like you achieved some wonderfully even results!
Thank you. They may not be perfect but I had fun
Lovely video. Half the fun in making the creams is to read the directions from books like the 1911 "New" Home Cook Book.
It is a very entertaining read although enjoy the Countess of Dudley book more as I am sure she did not write it but its quite brisk and brief.
Perfect! I was just thinking that I should have to start with the Christmas presents next week and my rose-oil is just done so I guess I don't even have to come up with my own ideas this year 😁
Wonderful I hope you enjoy trying it.
Ooooooooo, I’m so excited for a new video…..I need to grab some coffee first!
*pauses video and runs to the kitchen*
Ok, GO!
Hope you enjoy!
Great video, would they last longer if you put them in the fridge or would it affect their texture? Love the St Mary’s Mug…
Oooo! Thank you for this video. I've wanted to try a simple homemade cream, yet hadn't gotten around to it. Feeling greatly inspired. Looking forward to the final review of all your dreams
This is simple. I did start with a more modern recipe my first time from a soaping website as it holds your hand a bit more and includes some more natural preservatives, but now I am happy to try the old ones and make up my own.
I LOVE these videos! More, please ☺️
I will try my best.
Lovely. I can't wait to hear your review.
Excellent by the time a make that video I will have been using them solidly for two months which is a reasonable time to have come to an opinion.
I also have dry skin, so if either of these work well on hands, feet, etc., as well as face, I'd love to know! On completely different note, I recently watched "Mary Poppins Returns," and when they showed the shoes Emily Blunt wore in the leerie dancing scene, I simultaneously thought (1) those look like the Blue Poppy Retro Oxfords like I got from American Duchess and (2) I bet Constance MacKenzie was involved with these wonderful costumes. And, there was your name in the credits! Makes the film (which I now own in Blu-Ray, DVD & digital) that much better.
Yes her red shoes with bows on where very similar too. I know the film came out before the shoes, but with the design process always having to work ahead of schedule who knows who actually came up with the idea first. or maybe the both saw the same original inspiration. I am glad you enjoyed Mary Poppins, if it was anything worn by the children then I will have worked it especially the little boys clothes.
Now I want to try a to Make on myself..lol
well you can also ways give it a try, you don't have to make too much.
Enjoyed watching this, but the music swamped the dialogue in sections and I couldn’t hear what was being added to the mixtures. So, turn down the music and boost the dialogue please. Great to watch though!
Sorry about that, it gets very confusing with multiple edit runs and trying to keep information constant as to what is at the correct level sometimes
@@stanceymackenzie Thanks for your response. I didn’t truly appreciate how difficult it is to edit for sound and content- will try to be more patient! However, I did love your film (and especially the one about the silk-lined muff) and am looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you I know that sound quality is a very important for some people and a reason that lots of people turn off videos, if its poor. I do not particularly worry about it in other videos or my own but I will try to improve it. I do not have a microphone and the one on the camera is not really strong enough, but I detest the little clip on mics as a visual and have no idea what one should buy when it comes to voice over microphones so some research is required.
Do you use it as a handcream?
It is intended for the face or for make up removal. but of course you can use it on your hands. I like cold cream as I have dry skin on my face so I like the oilyness it leaves behind. Some people may not like this on their hands as it may take a bit longer to absorb into the hands. I do not have a skin care routine and rarely manage to put on hand cream so I will try anything going.
