2 Tbsp sweet almond (or vegetable oil)
10 drops Lavender essential oil
2 drops Neroli or Rose essential oil
In a shallow dish or bottle, add the essential oils. Add two tablespoons of warm vegetable oil or sweet almond oil. Mix well. Apply to the skin with slow rhythmic hand strokes, working towards the heart. Be sure to pay special attention to the hands, feet, and neck.
The human body is a machine which winds its own springs.
~Julien Offroy de la Mettrie
In the Middle Ages, white complexions were considered divine and people were constantly bleaching their skin with "miraculous" ointments which were often poisonous.
