Honey Recipe


Rejuvenate and replenish your skin. Sweet almond oil, which is light and easily absorbed, softens and nourishes skin. Honey as natural humectant, moisturizes, leaving even tired skin incredibly smooth.
Ingredients
2 tbsp honey
2tbsp sweet almond oil
5 drops essential oil of rose
1 drop vitamin E oil

Mix honey, sweet almond oil and essential oil of rose.

Massage onto clean face and neck with fingertips. Relax for 15 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water. Gently pat dry to reveal a fresh, soft complexion.

Smoother Softer Skin
To cleanse and exfoliate, massage handfuls of Epsom Salt over your wet skin, starting with the feet and continuing up toward the face. Then, pour two cups into a bath of warm water. Lean back and relax. As you soak, the natural action of Epsom Salt helps soften the rough, dry patches of your skin.


Soothe Minor Sprains and Bruises
Epsom Salt is like chicken soup for muscle aches and pains. It's a pure mineral product that helps reduce swelling, with no side effects whatsoever! After putting your body through a workout, sink yourself in a warm Epsom bath and experience soothing relief fast.


Dislodge Blackheads
Add 1 teaspoon of Epsom Salt and three drops of iodine to 1/2 cup of boiling water. After the mixture has cooled a bit, dip strips of cotton into the solution and apply to the problem area.

Repeat three or four times, reheating the solution if necessary. Then, gently unclog your pore, and go over the area with an alcohol-based astringent.


Relief from Everyday Stress
Instead of reaching for a cocktail to unwind, reach for the salt --Epsom Salt, that is! A nice, long Epsom soak in the privacy of your own bath is more convenient than the health club's whirlpool bath. And you can safely soak as long as you'd like. Go ahead, you deserve it!
