Rose Cream for Day Use

at 12:18 AM | Posted by All Information is Hear

6 fl. oz. Almond oil

2 oz. Beeswax

1 heaping tsp. anhydrous Lanolin

1 tsp. Borax dissolved in 4 fl. oz. Rosewater

2 tsp. Zinc Oxide rubbed into a smooth cream with 4 fl. oz. Almond oil

10-20 drops oil of Rose

Quantity: Makes enough for about three 4 oz. cream jars.

To Make: Heat the beeswax and the lanolin gently in a water bath. Do not let the wax simmer or burn. Remove from heat and add the Almond oil slowly. Add the zinc oxide-Almond oil cream beating the mixture continuously. Add the borax-Rosewater and beat until cool. Add enough oil of Rose to scent the mixture to your liking. Beat until cold with a small wooden spoon. Pour into three 4 oz. cram jars and let sit until solidified.

To Use: This makes an excellent everyday cream that can be used under makeup or as a moisturizer. Simply rub gently onto face, hands or throat. As a throat moisturizer the cream is excellent, especially when rubbed in with a large marble or small avocado pit. rub in gentle circular motions while looking up into the sky, thereby stretching and stimulating your neck muscles.

Why: Almond oil replaces necessary body oils; Rosewater is a gentle astringent and moisturizer replacing liquid to the cells and tightening the skin; lanolin is a potent emollient and very much like human oils; borax is a skin softener and will help to produce a very white cream while its disadvantage is that it often adds a grainy texture; zinc oxide is useful for healing reddened, sore or irritated skin.

Home made Moisturizer

at 12:11 AM | Posted by All Information is Hear
Night-Time Rose Creamy Lotion

  • 20 fl. oz. Almond oil

  • 16 fl. oz. Rosewater to which have been added 1 oz. dried red Rose petals, this soaked for 3 days, then strained out and removed

  • 3 oz. Beeswax Essence of Rose, if desired

To make: Into a water bath or the top of a double boiler put the oil and the wax. Heat until the wax is dissolved and then remove pot from the fire. Add the Rosewater slowly, beating all the while, and beat until it is cool. At this point add the essence of Rose a drop at a time, if you like. Beat the creamy lotion until cold, pour into a bottle and store away for use.

To use: This lotion makes an excellent Rose Cold Cream to remove old grimy dirt or makeup. Simply apply with clean fingertips and remove with fine tissue. Then you might take a teaspoonful of cornmeal in each palm and rub the hands and face well with it. Rinse with warm water and then cold. Pat the remaining fine film of cream into the skin for night-time smoothing.

Why: Almond oil and Rosewater as we know is an excellent moisturizing lubricant for normal to dry to sensitive skin; cornmeal is a gentle tonic stimulating to the tissues and acts as a "beauty grain".

Tip: Whenever making fine cosmetics always use a porcelain or glass pot. Some beauty experts recommend stainless steel cooking pots but these often leach poisonous heavy metals into the enclosed liquids. Nonmetal is best for herbs.

Facial (Papaya Pumpkin Facial)

Wednesday, May 6, 2009 at 12:06 PM | Posted by All Information is Hear

A member of the Gourd family, pumpkins are high in vitamin C for all-around tissue building and healing.

If you have visited spas and resorts in exotic locales such as the Pacific Rim, Bali, Hawaii, and Tahiti, you've probably seen a facialist select and mash fresh fruit in front of you for a fresh-on-the spot enzyme mask. It's easy to recreate this mask at home -- we've found a Balinese mask for you which will leave your face fresh and glowing.

  • 2/3 cup fresh papaya, mashed

  • 15 oz. can pure pumpkin

  • 1 egg, beaten

1. Prepare the mask. Cut the papaya in half and scoop out the seeds. Scoop out the papaya fruit and mash it well to eliminate lumps in the mask. Beat the egg until it is frothy. Combine that with the papaya. Add the pumpkin to the egg/papaya mixture and whip together. You can also mix the ingredients in the blender or a food processor for an extra smooth mask.

2. Prepare your face. Wash with your daily cleanser and remove all residual makeup on your skin. Rinse with warm water. It's very important to have clean skin to ensure you get maximum benefits from the facial.

3. Apply the Mask. Cover your entire face, being careful to avoid the immediate eye area. If you have sensitive skin, test the mixture on your hand before spreading it on your face. You'll feel some tingling as the enzymes in the pumpkin go to work immediately -- gently exfoliating your top layer of skin. It works like a scrub without being abrasive to your skin. Leave the mask on for 10 minutes.

4. Rinse Off Mask. After you've relaxed for ten minutes it's time to rinse. The mask is fairly thick -- head for the kitchen sink.

5. Apply Toner & Moisturizer.

Facial (for normal skin)

at 12:03 PM | Posted by All Information is Hear

This herb is used for its toning, refreshing and disinfectant properties.


Fennel has been used throughout history as an aid to digestion or as a slight diuretic. As an infusion, fennel seeds can be gently cleansing and toning for the skin, and they can help reduce puffiness and superficial irritation. Thyme, which is used in antiseptic preparations, is a good astringent. Because this cleanser is very gentle, it can be used each morning. Dab it on your face and neck with a cotton ball, and rinse.

  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme, crumbled (or 1/2 T dried Thyme)

  • 2 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed

  • 1/2 cup boiling water

  • Juice of Half Lemon

Mix the thyme and fennel seed in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Add lemon juice and steep for 15 minutes. Strain the infusion and store the liquid in a jar, in the refrigerator.

* 1 oz. oil of Rosemary

* 1/8 oz. oil of Lavender

To Use: Put a few drops of the oil on your palm, brush your palm against your hairbrush and then brush your hair.

Tip: Proper Hair Brushing: Every day, rain or shine, men and women should thoroughly brush the hair. Brushing dislodges dirt and distributes the natural hair oils. Bend at the waist (this increases circulation to the scalp) and massage the scalp with fingertips. Then brush hair starting at the nape of the neck with long easy strokes from nape to ends. Follow each of the brush strokes with your other hand to eliminate static electricity. Brush about 100 strokes in this upside down position. This is guaranteed to give new life to your hair.

Natural skin care Tips

Monday, May 4, 2009 at 9:17 AM | Posted by All Information is Hear
CLEANSING

Twice a day, professionals recommend that you gently wash your face with a good cleanser using upward, circular strokes. This step does not have to take long but it is important to achieving healthily skin.

DRY BRUSH CLEANSING TECHNIQUE

Another method that will help keep your pores clean is to treat your skin to a dry brush technique. Used by professional beauty consultants, dry brushing is a good way to begin your own home facial. You will need a natural fiber brush and most are available commercially with a handle. Start very gently and work your way over your face to remove dead skin cells and other impurities.

FACIAL SCRUB

To make your own deep pore cleansing facial scrub blend 1 Tablespoon honey with 1/4 medium cucumber that has been peeled. Mix the ingredients in a blender until smooth and add a small amount of water if needed. Strain the mixture and remove the vegetable and honey mixture into a small bowl. Add the following mixed meals to the liquid

1 teaspoon almond meal, 1 teaspoon seed meal, 1 teaspoon ground oatmeal, 1 teaspoon sunflower seed meal, 1 teaspoon wheat germ. This should form a smooth past for a gentle scrub. Follow up this treatment with a moisturizer.

TONING AND Ph LEVEL

Astringents and toners are designed to remove any left over dirt that the cleansing process has left behind and to help restore your skin to its normal acid pH.

The pH of soaps, shampoos and facial astringents refer to the acidity or alkalinity of the product you are using. Toners help to prevent bacteria from penetrating your skin and making it flake and become dry which occurs when your skin is too alkaline. All skin types should purchase products with a pH level in the range of 4.5 to 6.

FACIAL STEAMS

A herbal facial steam is another good way to soften your skin and allow your pores to breath and release toxins. Boil three cups of distilled water and remove it from the heat before adding the following herbs. Add 1 teaspoons Calendula, 1 teaspoon Chamomile, 1 teaspoon Raspberry leaves and 1 teaspoon Peppermint. After the herbs have seeped for about 10 minutes, use a hand-towel to create a tent over your head and shoulders. Close your eyes, breath in deeply and relax!

After a facial steam, you could continue your facial with a mask and moisturizer to benefit the most from your treatments.

CLEANSING MASKS

Masks date back to several ancient civilizations using mud, clay, yeast and natural herbs that they believed had healing properties. You can make your own cleansing mask by mixing 1 egg white and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Beat the mixture until it has stiff peaks and smooth it onto your face until it dries. Your skin will feel firm like a mini face-lift!

MOISTURIZING

Acting as a barrier between your skin and the environment you live in, moisturizers are an important way to hydrate your skin. Moisturizers should be applied to an already moist face and throat in the same upward direction you apply your cleanser.

You can make your own Citrus Moisturizer with 1 cup distilled water and 6 teaspoons glycerin stored in a bottle or spritzer. Add 8 drops of Lemon oil and equal parts of Orange Blossom essential oil.

These natural facial techniques can help you take care of your skin for a rewarding complexion.

Mix it together well and secure your hair back out of your face securely. Heat the mixture a few minutes in the microwave and smooth evenly on your face. Keep it on your face for 20 minutes and then wash clean with a warm wash cloth. This can enhance all skin types.

Cucumber Mask

Keep the mixture in the refrigerate for 10 minutes. Apply the mixture to your face while cool and leave it on for 20 minutes. Rinse it off with hot washcloth to loosen your pores and then rinse with cool water to finish your treatment. This mask is especially good for oily skin.

Bath salts

at 7:46 AM | Posted by All Information is Hear

6 Cups Epsom Salts

6 Cups Sea Salt

2/3 Cups baking soda

A few drops of Essential Oils and Food Coloring is optional

To make a sandal wood musk bath salt use 14 drops of sandal wood essential oil and 10 drops vanilla musk oil with 6 drops of chamomile.

A delightful citrus bath can be made using
10 drops bergamot,

10 drops orange,

5 drops grapefruit,

2 drops lemon

5 drops honeydew.

Whichever kind of bath salts you are making you will want to mix the salts and baking soda in a bowl very well. Divide the mixture up between several small bowls to create a fun layered look in your container. For best results mix your coloring and essential oil separately to each bowl. After letting the bowls sit for 24 hours you can add a scoopful to your container. You can make Vanilla, Strawberry and Orange Bath salts and layer them alternately in a sundae dish for a fun gift idea or layer them in a glass pasta jar and tie a wooden scoop on with a piece of raffia or ribbon. Use peppermint essential oil and red and pink food-coloring to make a candy cane bath salt. You can even layer the salts in a recycled old plastic candy cane that you find candy sold in at Christmas time!
