Ginger Skin Creme

Ginger Skin Creme

 

Ginger invigorates, and oil soothes. Try this double dose for dry skin.

    *

      2-inch piece of fresh ginger
    *

      2 teaspoons light sesame oil
    *

      2 teaspoons apricot kernel oil
    *

      2 teaspoons vitamin E oil
    *

      ½ cup cocoa butter

     Preheat oven on lowest setting. Finely grate the ginger just enough so that you have about an 1/8 teaspoon of ginger "juice." To obtain the juice, squeeze the freshly grated ginger over a small bowl. Place the ingredients (including the ginger) in a glass container and heat just until the cocoa butter is melted and the oils are blended. Pour into a clean, dry container and store in a cool dry place. You can add a few drops of orange or other essential oil for a nice twist.
