On this final week of homemade beauty recipes I thought it would be fun to include recipes that will cover you from head to toe.
This week’s recipes come out of The Ultimate Natural beauty Book by Josephine Fairley.
Let’s start with the head and more specifically…the lips. If you want a simple, natural looking tint this is a great one.
think pink lip tint
Beets are used to produce this great lip tint. You need to grate cooked beets to extract the juice, or use a bottled pure beet juice, available form natural food stores.
2 tablespoons sweet almond oil
2 tablespoons beeswax granules or grated beeswax
3 teaspoons beet juice (use less if you want a paler balm)
4 drop peppermint essential oil
Gently heat the oil and the beeswax in a double boiler. Remove from the heat and gradually add the beet juice, a teaspoon at a time, until you get the color you like; whisk very well with a fork or small whisk. Add the peppermint oil, whisk again and transfer to a small sterilized jar.
…as with all organic products you will need to use it up in a few weeks or it will spoil. But then why would we want to use anything that doesn’t spoil? We are organic beings and we need organic products to give us maximum beauty.
