Honey Almond Scrub
This is a Honey Almond scrub with a Peppermint twist! This product will exfoliate your skin to help make it smoother and softer.
4 T Almond meal (sometimes called Almond flour)
2 T Jojoba oil
4 T Honey
5 drops of Peppermint essential oil
In a 4 oz cobalt or amber glass jar (preferably) pour in the Almond meal and Jojoba oil. Stir well. Then mix in the Honey and Peppermint essential oil. Keep stirring until the mixture is completely mixed.
To use:
Cleanse skin first. Apply about a teaspoon amount of the scrub to a moistened face. Mix with water to make it a more fluid application (do not add water to the jar). Scrub the skin gently, letting the almond meal do the work (harder pressure will only damage capillaries!). Massage every square inch of skin except the delicate eye tissue. Remove with a warm washcloth. Be careful to remove every bit of the scrub. Apply a tonic or hydrosol with a cotton ball to remove any excess product. Finish by applying your moisturizer. Use about once a week to help keep the skin soft and smooth and relieve surface tension.

1/2 C Mint Water
1/2 Lemon, squeezed
To Make:
Make a thick infusion of Peppermint, strain out the herb and to 1/2 cup of the liquid add the Lemon juice. Mix together.
To Use:
While studying or working, apply this liquid with cotton pads to the elbows; let it dry and make another application. Repeat applications 3 or 4 times. Do not remove.
Why:
The Lemon juice acts as a bleach, the Mint as a soothing aromatic astringent.
Luxurious Goat’s Milk Body Butter
33oz liquid glycerin
1 oz stearic acid
1.6 oz ewax
0.8 mango butter
1 oz avocado oil
0.7 oz jojoba oil
1 oz apricot kernel oil
1 oz soy oil
13 oz distilled water
5.4 oz aloe
8.8 oz pasteurized goat’s milk
1 tsp vitamin e
1.5 oz preservative (a broad spectrum anti microbial/anti fungal is needed due to the goat’s milk)
½ tsp blue lilac fragrance (if desired)
Other needed items:
scale
4, 8 oz salve jars
Stick Blender
Put the first 9 ingredients (liquid glycerin to the aloe) in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. While it is
micro waving, pour the goat’s milk into a glass measuring cup. After the 3 minutes stir the mixture and then put the bowl and the measuring cup with the goat’s milk into the microwave. Heat on high for 2 minutes. Take the containers out of the microwave and check them. You want to heat until all the ingredients are melted (about 5-10 minutes depending on your microwave). The ingredients in your bowl will look milky when they have melted completely. Do not heat to boiling. The goat’s milk will also feel quite warm. When the first nine ingredients have melted and the goat’s milk is warm, mix the aloe in with the goat’s milk. Now you’re ready to mix! Pout the warm goat’s milk and aloe into the melted mixture and mix with a stick blender or hand mixer for about 2 minutes. Let mixture sit for about 10 minutes then stick blend it for about 2 minutes. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes then blend for 1 minute. About this time it should be starting to get thick and creamy. Let it sit for another five minutes and then blend in the vitamin e, preservative and fragrance. Spoon into jars.
Keep your unused product clean:
When using body butters, you should use a one use type of size. Every time you dip your fingers into the jar, you are introducing bacteria from your hands. If you use a larger jar for many uses, use a spoon or stick to remove the butter from the jar and never actually put your fingers in to the jar. This way you can use your larger jar many times without building up bacteria in the product.
