Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 Hello Everyone: Here are two more cleansers. Lemon Cleanser Good for: normal or oily skin Use: daily Follow with: Astringent or toner Prep time: Approx. 45 mins Mix with: whisk Store in: low tub or jar Yields: Approx. 9 treatments 2 TBSP strained lemon juice 1/4 cup plus 1 TBSP grapeseed or apricot oil 1 TBSP beeswax 1/4 tsp borax 6 drops essential oil of lemon or tangerine In a small pan or double boiler, melt the oil and wax. Warm lemon juice in another small pan and stir in borax until dissolved. Remove both pans from heat and slowl combine mixtures while beating steadily with your whisk until cool and creamy. Add essential oils and stir thoruoughly. Store in refrigerator if not used within 2 weeks or if house is very warm. Use 2 tsp. per application. Strawberry Cleanser Good for: normal to oily skin Use: daily-when straberries are in season follow with: astringent or toner Mix with: mortar and pestle, spoon Store in: Do not store. Mix only as needed. Yields: 1 treatment Special: The strawberry juice can also serve as a tooth cleanser and whitener. Very refreshing! 4 very ripe medium-sized strawberries, sliced 2 drops essential oil of yarrow or peppermint Mash the strawberries and press through mesh strainer or squeeze through cheese cloth or panty hose. Catch juice in a small condiment bowl. Add essential oil and stir to blend. Apply to face and neck with a saturated cotton square and massage with finger tips for about 1 min. Avoid eye area. Rinse with cool water. Okay that's it for the cleansers. Tommorow I'll post some astringents and toners. Kareemah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
