mixed with various other players..herbs, salt, sugar,,,right now i'm

grooving on ground cacao, rice bran and suger. daily on my face, about

twice weekly the rest of my body gets the treat and wonders why it

doesn't get it more often. my skin positively glows and it's not just

I second that on rice bran. I only rarely use an exfoliant on my face

(I have extremely sensitive skin and it reacts very strongly to the

slightest little irritants.) The one that I use when I do use

anything is rice bran and oatmeal, very finely powdered. You'd think

that if it's powdered, it wouldn't scrub and exfoliate, but it does.

But what do I use every time I shower? Water. And my fingertips.

That does the exfoliating trick all on its own. I like the after

effect better than anything else I've used.

Cheers!

I have been mixing up red raspberry, chardonnay grapeseed and blueberry seed

flour.  This is perfect

ingredient for natural or organic personal care products requiring a

vibrant infusion of color and texture.  The

phytonutrients in the berry exfoliants and powders are  also effective

against pathogenic bacteria such as Vibrio cholerae, Shigella dysenteriae,

Campylobacter spp., Salmonella, Staphylococcus and Campylobacter and are ideal

for use in skin care and acne preparations.For now, I am experimenting with

several types of clay which I have whipped up in my kitchen aid mixer and then

add the various seed flour and essential oils.   I also have added 100% cold

pressed fruit seed oils into the mix, the blueberry seed oil is out of this

world.

Be well,

Hi Andrine and all,

I love oatmeal, it makes your skin very soft and silky.

My recipe is Oatmeal, honey, eos and rose water....apply and scrub

while your skin is wet and voila! hahaha

Once, I even mixed oatmeal with coffee and there was this waking

coffee scent in the bathroom! (not need for morning coffee!)

For face I also use oatmeal, honey and lemon!

Thanks Angi for the great ideas. Isn't oatmeal and honey just lovely

on your skin?

Cheers!

Hi,

Can I share one more home treat?

For eyes...so you grow old and never have any eyes wrinkles!

Olive oil plus Eos....apply every day and night (must) before going to

bed (miracles could happen at night) hahaha!

I have been applying almost two months and do feel a difference.

My Italian grandma did that for decades. And it worked. Her face was

always so soft and her skin looked fantastic. She put it on before

she put on make up and then she used it to take off the makeup at

night, and then slathered more on to sleep in. I prefer virgin

coconut oil, but I've also used olive. (I'm addicted to the smell of

the coconut oil!)

My recipe for eye cream meant to be applied before bed is cocoa

butter and coconut oil, 2:3. For make-up remover, it's equal parts

canola, castor, and olive oils.

Hi Where are you getting blueberry seed flour?

Sounds scrumptous

Bb

These ingredients are from a company in Canada, I & W Research (www.i-and-w.com)

  I sampled their entire collection of cold pressed seed oils and seed flour for

a client who is creating a skin care line.  The smell and taste of the cold

pressed seed oils is right on and seem relatively stable, one year into testing.

Their products are also certified organic with the NOP and EcoCert.  I have

personally whipped a few things for myself that I absolutely love.
