Hi all, I'm doing some more study on botanical benefits in the skin care and health areas.

I've been looking for homemade recipes for facemasks I need to make for an assignment, and thought you all might find this link helpful too using ingredients in your cupboards and fridge.
Let me know how they go ☺️.
Cheers Debbie

Everything you need is already in your fridge

Yay! A fine Friday until Tuesday across the lower North Island. Enjoy your weekend of sunshine.
It's a great time to plant up peas, potatoes, & sprinkle lettuce seeds on top of your soil; lettuce needs light to germinate.

Garden Alchemy
Rosemary-infused balms, creams, (large $25; small $10) and soaps ($5)

Rosemary for remembering.
For alert days & studiousness use cream or balm after your shower for full body moisturizer. Use rosemary soap in shower, as shampoo with conditioner, & for shaving with.
Use cream & balm as your face moisturizer, as well as foot, hand, nail & cuticle conditioner.
Add a 1/2 teaspoon of balm to a bowl of mid-hot of water; soak & massage hands (or feet); then with a teaspoon of sugar, gently scrub hands, & around nails for at least 5 minutes. A glass of wine goes well with this luxury treatment. Complete your pedicure with rosemary cream on your hands, filing nails, & painting with your favorite polish, if used.

Use the balm as a massage oil & lubricant. Along with the olive oil-base providing nutrients to skin, the skin-warmed balm releases rosemary scents to enliven the senses.

To encourage hair growth, warm some balm in hands & massage into scalp before bed. Wear a wooly hat or wrap head with plastic or beeswax wrap. Shampoo off in the morning. Conditioning and nutritious on scalp and hair.
