Greetings!

We dedicate the following treatments to all of you amazing Mothers out there. A heart felt “Thank you” goes out to all of you!

(Especially you Mom!!!)

Renewal Facial Oil

Travel back to a far away place in time with this magical blend of essences. This earthy combination is wonderfully sedative and great for a nighttime treatment oil, especially for those with very dry or sun-damaged skin. As you apply, an air of calm and joy should certainly overtake you. A very meditative aroma as well.

20 ml Sesame Oil
5 ml Cranberry Seed Oil
5 ml Apricot Kernel Oil
1 ml Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil
5 drops Frankincense
5 drops Myrrh
5 drops Patchouli
5 drops Neroli

Gently roll the above ingredients in a glass amber, cobalt or other dark colored bottle to mix, and use as a facial oil after cleansing.

Note: Avoid if Pregnant. Using oils and then going in the sun could cause sunburn or uneven pigmentation, so apply thoughtfully!

Mix some of the above oil with some of the recipe below and enjoy an exhilarating full body micro-buff!

Jasmine Rice Body Paste with Star Anise

1/4 cup Jasmine Rice, finely ground (If you have a Kitchenaid mixer they have a flour mill attachment available or you can grind it in a mortar and pestle)
1/4 cup Milk Powder
1/8 cup Kaolin Clay
1/8 cup Honey Powder
1 Tablespoon Star Anise Powder (or more to your scent preference)

Mix ingredients to blend thoroughly. Put desired amount into a bowl and stir in enough of the above oil to form a smooth paste.

Without turning the water on, stand in the shower and massage a thin layer of paste over your skin in circular motions, working from neck to ankles. (You can put on your face too but be careful of your eyes, and don’t rub too briskly.) Rinse off with warm water to a smoother, silkier you!

Renewal Facial Oil also makes a wonderful facial massage medium.
