Ginger invigorates, and oil soothes. Try this double dose for dry skin.

• 2-inch piece of fresh ginger

• 2 teaspoons light sesame oil

• 2 teaspoons apricot kernel oil

• 2 teaspoons vitamin E oil

• ½ cup cocoa butter

Preheat oven on lowest setting. Finely grate the ginger just enough so that you have about an 1/8 teaspoon of ginger "juice." To obtain the juice, squeeze the freshly grated ginger over a small bowl. Place the ingredients (including the ginger) in a glass container and heat just until the cocoa butter is melted and the oils are blended. Pour into a clean, dry container and store in a cool dry place. You can add a few drops of orange or other essential oil for a nice twist.
