1. Put the avocado pit in a heavy paper bad, then wrap the bag around the pit a few times. With a
hammer or wooden mallet, give the pit a few good whacks to break it up into smaller pieces that
will fit into a coffee grinder or small food processor.
2. Grind the pieces to a gritty meal consistency. Mix the cornmeal, then place in a sterilized
shallow jar, seal, and label.
3. Pour the aloe, grape seed, juniper, and lemon oils into a bowl, then sprinkle about 2 teaspoons
of the avocado and cornmeal over the wet ingredients and stir. Add additional meal if necessary
so that you have a gritty paste.
4. Mist your legs thoroughly with body mist, then apply the paste, using small, circular,
massaging motions. Relax for 15 minutes and rinse with warm water.

Cure-All Moisturizer
Straight olive oil serves multiple purposes. If you cant stand the smell, add a few drops of
essential oil. Use as a moisturizer for dry, rough spots on your knees and elbows. To soften
cuticles, dip a cotton ball in some olive oil, dab on tops of fingernails and rub in. For a great split
ends treatment, shampoo hair, use olive oil in place of conditioner on ends only, and then rinse
thoroughly with warm water.

Beat the white of one egg until stiff. Use hands or a washcloth to apply an even layer over your

taking away blotchiness.

1 teaspoon finely ground Rose Hip Seeds
Mix all this together and store in an airtight container. To use take about 1-2 Tbsp of the mask,
and add enough distilled water to get a paste consistency. I actually did a pure lemon juice (to
whiten skin and to restore skins natural acid mantle) diluted in water, 1 tsp honey (moisturizing),
then added a couple drops of Tea Tree oil (antibacterial). It was nice and tingly.

Pure all ingredients. Smooth it over the face and neck; leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse with cool

Heat together gently to dissolve the gelatin. Let cool until almost set. Apply to face, let dry
completely, peel off.
In a small mixing bowl combine Sea Clay, Coconut Milk Powder, Parsley Powder, and Honey
Powder. Stir well, then add the Aloe Vera Gel and Lemon Balm Hydrosol. Next, add the Acai
and Green Coffee Oil and mix thoroughly, breaking up any clumps.
This fresh mask should be used immediately. Any unused portion can be stored in an airtight

allow it to dry for around 10 - 15 minutes before rinsing. Follow the mask with your favorite
toner and moisturizer.
