Last night I had a wonderful down to Earth facial and herbal tea bath!
::::Facial::::
First cut a lime (or lemon) in half and rub it on your face, wash the lime off first then apply aloe to your face from an aloe vera plant! Leave each on for about 10 minutes. You will feel refreshed, your skin will look brighter and tighter! No girl can complain about that one! :) I also hear lime juice can help lighten skin so this is a plus for those tough acne scars!
::::Herbal Tea Bath::::
Okay-who doesn't love the smell of lavender and a bunch of other wonderful herbs! Gather your favorite smelling and calming herbs such as lavender, chamomile, sage, rosemary steep till the tea is darker than you'd probably drink it in a full pot of water. Drain the leaves out, apply the herbed water to your bath and voula! your very own herbal bath! For those who want silky smooth skin-add some milk to your bath-Cleopatra used to do this for her own skin health! If you're feeling really adventurous-apply the lime and aloe facial while in the tub and enjoy!
