✨ Key Ingredients and Why People Love Them

🔹 Nivea Cream (2 tablespoons)

The classic blue jar is well known for its rich, comforting texture.
It helps lock in moisture, supports the skin barrier, and leaves the skin feeling smooth and supple.

🔹 Virgin Coconut Oil (1 tablespoon)

Naturally rich in nourishing fatty acids, coconut oil is appreciated for its softening effect.
It adds a subtle glow and helps the skin feel well cared for.

🔹 Cornstarch (2 tablespoons)

A surprising favorite in DIY beauty routines!
Cornstarch helps create a silky finish, reduces the feeling of excess oil, and gives the mask a smoother texture.

🔹 Vitamin E (1 capsule – optional)

Often called the “beauty vitamin,” vitamin E is valued for its antioxidant properties and its role in supporting skin comfort and care.

2️⃣ Mix in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil until smooth.
3️⃣ If using vitamin E, carefully pierce the capsule and add the oil.
