This is for oily skin or those with bad acne. If you have dry or sensitive skin I do not recommend using this on your face. This is to be used as a daily acne deterrent and always follow with a moisturizer. Store in a cool place (we recommend the fridge for extra cooling pleasure!)  in a glass or plastic bottle.

1 1/2 cup distilled water

1 1/2 table spoons yarrow

1 tablespoon chamomile flowers

1 teaspoon calendula

8 drops peppermint oil

In a small size saucepan bring your distilled just to the point before boil. Remove the water from the heat and add the herbs. Allow them to steep for 20 minutes, once that time has passed you then add the essential oils. Then you pour the concoction into a glass jar or plastic container and shake well.

This will only last for a week. But if you are using it twice a day generously applied then you should run out at the end of the week so as you are not tempted to use stale ingredients.

Apply generously with a non bleached (if possible) cotton pad around face and neck. May be used on shoulder and back areas as well. Place cucumber slices over your eyes as to not get the astringent in your eye.

1/4 cup chamomile tea (brewed and cooled to room temp)

1/4 cup oatmeal (lightly ground)

2 tablespoons honey

2 drops of almond oil

Combine the ingredients.  Rub over face and neck gently but still with enough pressure to exfoliate the skin.

For deep cleansing leave the scrub on to create a mask, or you can wash off with warm water and pat dry. Moisturize if desired.

For normal to oily skin.

3 sprigs fresh thyme crushed ( 1 table spoon dried)

2 1/2 teaspoons fenel seeds crushed

2 drops essential peppermint oil

juice of half a lemon

1/2 cup boiling water.

Mix the thyme, lemon juice, peppermint oil and fennel in a boil and  slowly poor in the boiling water. Allow to steep for 12-15 minutes.

Strain  and store the liquid in jar.

Keep refrigerated.

This is a really simple recipe you can do at any time even in a rush!  This is recommended for oily skin!

4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

4 table spoons distilled water.

Mix in a small bowl and apply to face with a cotton ball or soft facial towel. Make sure you avoid your eyes as this will sting.
