Calendula Cleansing Milk

Calendula Cleansing Milk: Beauty In Your Back Yard

Inspired by Better Basics for the Home, by Annie B. Bond (Three Rivers Press,

1999).

Simple Solution

Pot marigolds, also called calendula flowers, are

blooming in many gardens at this time of year and their petals make a

wonderful cleansing milk that will help to heal and nourish your skin. (If you

dont have calendula growing in your yard, you can buy the dried flowers

inexpensively online.) Calendula is a powerful all-purpose skin-helper, since it

is highly emollient, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory. This

cleansing milk is a healing addition to your beauty routine. Get the elegant

formula here:

INGREDIENTS

4 tablespoons avocado oil

1 tablespoon fresh calendula flowers or 1 teaspoon dried

2 tablespoons aloe vera gel

25 drops grapefruit seed extract

1. In a double boiler over very low heat, heat the oil

and calendula flowers together for 30 minutes. Allow to cool, then strain out

the flowers and discard them.

2. Stir the aloe vera and the grapefruit seed extract

into the cooled oil, mixing well to combine.

To Use:

Scoop some of the milk onto your fingers and massage

gently into skin. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
