Pot
marigolds, also called calendula flowers make a wonderful cleansing
milk that will help to heal and nourish your skin. Calendula
is a powerful all-purpose skin-helper, since it is highly emollient,
antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory. This cleansing
milk is a healing addition to your beauty routine. You need
4 tablespoons avocado oil, 1 tablespoon fresh calendula flowers
or 1 teaspoon dried, 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel and 25 drops
grapefruit seed extract. In a double boiler over very low heat,
heat the oil and calendula flowers together for 30 minutes.
Allow to cool, then strain out the flowers and discard them.
Stir the aloe vera and the grapefruit seed extract into the
cooled oil, mixing well to combine. Scoop some of the milk and
massage gently into skin. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. |
