⭐ DIY Cream #2: Shea Butter & Rosehip Night Cream
This rich, nourishing cream works best as a night treatment. Rosehip oil is admired for its ability to support a healthy-looking glow, while shea butter keeps skin deeply moisturized.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon shea butter
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon rosehip oil
- 1 drop frankincense essential oil (optional)
How to Make It
- Gently warm the shea butter until soft (not liquid).
- Add the oils and mix until creamy.
- Store in a sealed container at room temperature.
How to Use
Apply a thin layer at night, focusing on smile lines and dry areas.
Why It Works
- Shea butter locks in moisture
- Rosehip oil supports smooth, glowing skin
- Natural fatty acids help the skin feel softer and plumper
Over time, consistent moisture can make smile lines appear less pronounced.
🌿 Bonus Tips to Reduce the Appearance of Smile Lines
You can boost the effectiveness of your DIY creams by adding a few healthy habits:
✔ Stay hydrated
Dehydrated skin looks older and more textured.
✔ Protect your skin from the sun
Daily SPF does more for smooth skin than any cream.
✔ Facial massage
Stimulates circulation and helps relax tense facial muscles.
✔ Get enough sleep
Skin repairs itself most effectively at night.
✔ Eat antioxidant-rich foods
Berries, leafy greens, nuts, and orange vegetables help support skin health.
