Simple Facials with Farm Fresh Goat Milk & Essential Oils

We do more "gifts"  instead of candy in baskets for Easter celebration in our house. My daughter asked for make-up this year. Since she is only 10, the Easter Bunny opted to bring a "make your own" cosmetics gift set instead. This in turned caused me to revisit a wonderful book I purchased at the Wise Traditions Conference last year. This book if full of great hair and body care recipes and is called "Earthly Bodies & Heavenly Hair" by Herbalist, Dina Falconi.

Here are some of the recipes we tried and loved!

Glowing Honey Face (from Earthly Bodies by Dina Falconi)
1 tsp of local raw honey
5 drops of castor oil
1 squirts of fresh lemon juice
1 drop of Lavender essential oil

Enough for two. Wash face. Pat dry. Apply masque onto face evenly. Allow to dry for 20 minutes.
Then wash face with the Milky Skin Rub

Milky Skin Rub ( from Creative Cosmetics by Thames & Kosmos. 
Variations by Seneca & Tara Rayburn)
1 teaspoon of sea salt
2 tablespoons of Farm Fresh Goat Milk
1/4 teaspoon of Coconut Flour

Enough for two. Mix and rub over face and neck. Rinse and pat dry.

Then we rubbed Joy Essential Oil Blend by Young Living onto our faces and moisturized.

For moisture afterwards either use an organic cream or look for more recipes from Dina Falconi's book.

Seneca and I will be teaching at the Wise Traditions Conference this year called "Mythbusters"
