SAMPLE RECIPE: Lavender-Aloe Vera Moisturizer

YIELD: About 1 ounce / STORAGE: Small glass jar / TIME: 5 Minutes

Lavender and aloe vera make an extremely effective healing duo with their natural antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and soothing power. Keep this oil-free moisturizer refrigerated if you use fresh aloe vera gel rather than the pre-packaged kind.

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, add the aloe vera gel and lavender essential oil. Using a whisk or fork, mix until thoroughly blended.

2. Transfer the moisturizer to a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.

3. Using your fingertips, apply a thin layer of moisturizer to your face, neck, and chest.

4. Let it absorb completely before applying any other products.

5. Use once or twice daily.

INGREDIENTS: 2 tbsp alcohol-free aloe vera gel 8 drops lavender essential oil
