Luscious Lavender Night Cream

 

If you work outside a lot this is the ideal answer to sore chapped hands

and weather-beaten skin.

 

1 tablespoon avocado or apricot oil

1 tablespoon almond oil

3 tablespoons lanolin

1 teaspoon oil of lavender

 

Put the lanolin in an ovenproof bowl and place in a roasting pan full of

hot water. Pour in the avocado and almond oils and beat well to

completely combine.

 

Remove from the heat and continue to beat as the mixture cools and

thickens. Add the oil of lavender. Continue beating until mixture is

thick and creamy and cool. Pour into a small pot, cover and store in the

fridge.

 

Vitamin E can be added by squeezing the contents of 2 or 3 capsules as

the same stage as oil of lavender is added.
