For The Face:





ALMOND FACIAL MILK





The herbal waters are antiseptic and toning. Grapefruit seed extract is available in health food stores, and is included in the recipe as a preservative.





*





1/2 cup rose, lavender, or distilled water


*





1 teaspoon pure vegetable glycerin


*





1/4 to 1 teaspoon cold pressed organic almond oil


*





12 drops grapefruit seed extract





Make the rose or lavender water by placing a small handful of dried organic rose petals or lavender in a pint mason jar and adding boiling water to cover. Let steep overnight, then thoroughly strain. Combine the remaining ingredients in a glass jar and shake to blend. Dab some on your fingers or a cotton ball and massage into your skin. Rinse with warm water. Keep stored in the refrigerator for no more than a month or so. Discard at the first sign of mold.














For The Body:





DRY SKIN CREME








1/2 cup water


1/2 cup sesame seed oil


2 teaspoons vitamin E oil


2 tablespoons grated beeswax


3 drops essential oil of grapefruit


2 drops of aroma oil (optional, your choice)


a pinch of borax





Blend the vitamin E oil, beeswax and sesame oil. Heat on low until melted. Combine the water, oils and borax. Heat for a few minutes (until warm) but do not boil. Combine the water mixture with the beeswax mixture. Mix well (at least 2 minutes). For a fluffier cream, use an electric mixer or a blender. Pour the cream into a clean container after it has cooled completely.








((The Best Eco-Friendly Pore Cleanser! I have used it and it really works!))





Strip it Off! Pore Cleaning Strips


This recipe makes a pore cleaning ';strip'; which works just like those sold in popular drugstores.





1 T Knox unflavored gelatin


1-1/2 T milk





Mix two ingredients and microwave for 10 seconds to slightly warm. Using a clean cosmetic brush, apply to nose and chin area. Avoid delicate eye area. Rinse brush immediately. Allow mixture on nose and chin to dry for 10-15 minutes. Mixture will dry quite stiff and form a ';stiff film.'; Peel off the film and stare at all the little porcupine quills that used to be in your nose pores (one of the chief entertainment factors with B'Strips!).





I'm sorry I dont have a lot. Have fun!Spa, beauty, and style?
