Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Hiya Butch aka Poppa.....I have a question about helichrysum also. My daughter is 8 1/2 months pregnant and has some stretch marks. I have some heli and I was wondering how do I mix it with say shea butter or should it be mixed with something else. If it can be mixed with shea butter, could you please tell me exactly how much of each I should use like so many drops of heli and how much butter? Should my daughter use it now or after she has the baby? Thanks in advance... Also, let me add my best wishes for a " healthy " babe.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I make a 20 oz batch of face cream and use 1/4 SCANT tsp of heli and carrot seed oil and a tiny bit of rose otto that I gaurd with my life. . . LOVE the stuff!! I have customers that swear it reduces small facial lines and fades small scars. Heilchrysum is a favorite of mine. -Helen Hey Ien, > I got some of helichrysum 10% in rosehip > seed oil to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Cocoa butter is supposed to be really good for stretch marks, but be careful... overuse will cause sensitivity! My SIL is a good example of this. She used it so much that she became allergic to cocoa butter... I wish she would have asked me, I would have made her some stuff!

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hey Ien, > I got some of helichrysum 10% in rosehip > seed oil to play with. Good show. > Now I need to know: is this already considered > safely diluted, or should one dilute it even more? Cut it by half .. to 5% dilution or so. > I am thinking of trying it on my wrinkly eyelids. You gotta be real careful there .. working close to the eyes is real danged tricky. And .. I doubt if it will do much for wrinkles .. scars are a different matter but wrinkles are almost permanent folds in the skin. Hydration with one of the commercial preparations will help eyelids (on a temporary basis) .. it helps the smile lines under my eyes and on my forehead. ;-) > Ien in the Kootenays > **************************** > I can finish my own sentences again! > muddled > **************************** Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heilchrysum is a favorite of mine. -Helen You are all totally tempting me to mess around with making a facial cream! I still have quite a bit of a nice carrier oil blend, plenty of lavender,my fave scent, a bottle of glycerine that I bought ages ago, the helichrysum, and Sangre de Drago. The latter is thick drops that really tighten and regenerate the skin. I'd like to find a way to mix it in somehow. The company I work with came out with this exquisitely yummy skin care line, but I just cannot see putting $100 or more per month on my face. I have never had a hundred dollars a month kinda face.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 would that be 1/4 teaspoon heli and 1/4 teaspoon carrot seed oil? --- Steven Allensworth <worth249 wrote: > I make a 20 oz batch of face cream and use 1/4 SCANT > tsp of heli and carrot seed oil and a tiny bit of > rose otto that I gaurd with my life. . .
