Want better looking skin, then apply more lotion??? Is it really that simple.

Hello,



As I have stated before I love lotion, and must admit have tried several different types as I apply lotion anywhere from 7 to 10 times a day. My lotion regiment of course increased over time, and the results were actually amazing.  I admit at first I had some reservations with applying lotion so frequently; I did not want to clog my pores and get acne, nor did I want to melting down my face as I live in Florida and it is hot here.  To my surprise neither was the case, if anything to my surprise I began to notice a visible improvement, a change I could actually see, as could others.

Originally my goal was to tackle my dry heels which is another story as I am working on "heels" but now I want to share my legs and face with you. What I found was applying lotion to the face multiple times throughout the day made notable improvements such as firming, my face actually appeared firmer, especially in the lower chin and neck area.  I also seen fullness in my check and in the laugh lines around my mouth.  The pigment in my face appeared brighter, and believe this or not my face is so smooth. If I was to estimate I apply lotion to my face about 5 or 6 times a day and when I do make these applications I use about 5 different variations of lotions, applying some in different areas. I found the key is the type of lotion you apply and where it is applied.

Now of you recall a few sentences ago I mentioned face, legs and feet, but to make this short and simple I will discuss my face moving to legs in the next posting.

Something different before I post my process and my favorite lotions for the face, please tell me what products you're interested in?  Any lotions you been dying to try, let me know?

Have you tried any of the following?

• Dr. Bronner's Peppermint
• C.Booth Vanilla Butter body lotion 
• Shea Moisture Olive & Green Tea

Or share with me your favorites, I would like to see what people are using before I tell you all the ones I apply on my face!

How to make a Tincture & Eggshell Water

Make a Tincture


Tinctures are concentrated, liquid forms of herbal medicine that are simple to make and easy to assimilate. They are so concentrated that sometimes we take our doses in tea or water. They are usually made with consumable alcohol, but can also be made with vegetable glycerine, vinegar, honey, etc.
Alcohol tinctures (also known as extracts) are the most popular because alcohol is the most effective at drawing out the important properties of the herbs. Tinctures made with it have a long shelf life (2 years or longer). Almost all store bought tinctures use alcohol as a base or include some amount of alcohol as a preservative. Vodka is what we use because it doesn't have a strong odor and is very affordable (rum will also do).
Make your tincture by filling a jar 1/3 to 1/2 full of herbs and pour in just enough hot water to get them wet. (Half full makes for a stronger brew, just do not pack in the herbs.) Then fill the jar to the top with alcohol, close it, and store for 3-6 weeks in a dry, cool place. Shake the jar daily. After 3-6 weeks, strain and discard the herbs, bottle the liquid and label it.
Pregnant mamas can easily evaporate the alcohol by placing their dose in a hot liquid like tea or water before taking it.
Tinctures can also be made by using vinegar in place of the alcohol, following the same directions. Vinegar does not draw out an herb's properties as well as alcohol. But it is very inexpensive, can be used as a gargle, and can be used to fight fungal infections. You may want to rinse after each dose to avoid enamel damage from the vinegar.

Make Eggshell Water


Tid Bit on Eggshell and Bone Health
1. Studies have shown that taking eggshell with vitamin D3 improves bone mineral density. Egg shells have been used for the pain, and treating, of all kinds of arthritis and joint pain.
2. Pour 2 cups of hot water over 4-5 (free-range or organic is best) crumbled egg shells. Add 1 tsp fresh lemon juice or vinegar. Cover and let sit for 2 hours. Strain the shells out and put liquid in a clean glass jar with a lid. Take a sip of the liquid one or two times a day. Just because it works, does not mean you should take more than you need. So, slowly increase your dosage until pain is the gone. After that do not increase it. Some of us need more calcium than others, but remember our bodies cannot handle too much calcium.
Store extra liquid in the refrigerator. Eggshell Water will last for 3 to 4 days.
3. Egg shells are high in Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Glycine, Gelatin, Collagen, and Other trace minerals

How to make a Tea

Make a Tea


Teas (infusions and/or decoctions) have the advantage of being well assimilated, which make them easier for a weakened body to digest. Hot water releases more of the herb's active elements. Best of all, most teas taste great. We regularly add Spearmint and sweeten with raw honey to taste—now that's good medicine!

We should mention something here about the different forms in which herbs are offered: whole, cut or powder. A few herbs can be offered in "whole" form. This means they have been picked, dried, and packaged as carefully as possible to maintain their original state (although some crumbling is inevitable). Most herbs are offered in a "cut" form for ease of use and packaging. Whole and cut herbs are the best forms for storage and work excellently in teas. Some herbs are ground into "powder" for use in specific applications, such as for filling capsules, seasoning food, adding to salves, etc. Powdered herbs are generally not used to make teas as it's very difficult to strain the powder from the liquid.
Incorporating a nutritionally rich tea into your daily routine is what we call smart! Every morning we make a blend of herbs into a tea that is suited for our nutritional needs and you can do the same. If you have poor eyesight, add Bilberry leaf to your tea blend. If you tend to have high blood pressure or retain water, add Nettle leaf. If you need a "wake-up", use Cinnamon, Cloves, and/or Ginger, like in our Rise and Shine Tea. Just remember to avoid using herbs with sedative properties in the morning, as that would be counterproductive! Teas can be made by pouring 1 cup of boiling water over 1–2 teaspoons of dried herbs. Cover and let tea steep for 5 minutes or so (roots and bark take longer). Teas can be served hot or cold, and brewed many different ways:
Electric percolator: This is our favorite way to brew our teas. Sometimes we brew the herbs twice using a little less water the second time. A percolator heated on the stove is also effective.
Pot on the stove: Place the herbs and water in a covered pot on the stove and bring to a boil. Turn burner off and remove from heat. After it steeps for a few minutes, strain and serve.
Pot with a strainer on the stove: Another variation of the stove method is to place a metal strainer in the pot before adding the herbs to the water. When the tea is done steeping, simply lift the strainer and the tea is ready to serve.
Tea pot: Bring water to a boil and pour over herbs in a tea pot. After steeping, place a small strainer over each cup as you serve it.
Rays of the sun: Fill a clear glass jar with herbs and water and place the jar in an area with ample sun exposure. This method works best for teas made with flowers and/or leaves rather than roots or barks. You'll need to determine how long the jar should be exposed to the sun before your tea is ready to be strained and served.
