Herbal Facial

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, discarding the botanicals, and reserving the water. Combine the water and 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.
