beauty SCIENCE experiments! (4th of 5)

1.     Homemade lip gloss!
You’ll need: ¼ cup beeswax, ¼ cup castor oil, 2 tbsp sesame oil, beet juice, double boiler
What to do: use the top part of the double boiler to melt beeswax. Remove it from the heat and add oils. Add as much beet juice as desired for color and store it in a jar. Transfer a small portion to a purse sized container for use when away from home. You can also add essential oils for added fragrance.

Dry skin remedy!

What to do: beat egg and add oil. Add lemon juice and mix it very well. Apply a little of that mixture on your wrist and refrigerate the rest. If it feels okay an hour later, wash your face and apply the mixture on your face. Leave it on for 15 minutes and rinse well.

Massage therapy!
You’ll need: ½ cup coconut oil, ¼ cup cocoa butter, few drops essential oil
What to do: to make the massage oil, soften the cocoa butter in a double boiler over medium heat. Remove from the heat and blend, adding a few drops of optional essential oils.
