Witchy Recipes

[Use this as an overnight treatment.]
Honey- draws moisture into the skin and soothes inflammation.
Beeswax- forms a protective film which helps to prevent moisture loss.
Sweet almond & Evening Primrose oils- nourish the skin.
Essential oils- stimulate new, healthy skin cells.
Needed-
15 g Beeswax, grated
1 tsp clear honey
160ml Sweet almond oil
4 evening primrose oil capsules
350ml distilled water
5 drops Palmarosa essential oil
5 drops Neroli/ Petitgrain essential oil
5drops lavender essential oil
Method-
1. Melt the beeswax, honey and sweet almond oil in a heat proof basin over a pan of simmering water. Pierce the oil capsules and squeeze the contents into the melted mixture.
2. Add the distilled water, drop by drop at first, beating with a whisk or electric mixer on a low speed.
3. After adding and mixing in about 2 tsp water, remove from the heat and beat with the remaining water, a little at a time. Add the essential oils, beating continuously until the mixture thickens.
4. Spoon into a glass jar, with a screw top/recycled cosmetic container. The cream will set fairly firmly but melts on contact with the skin, keep in the fridge for up to 6 months-use in that time.
To make a more simple protective cream
[This is an easier way to make the above if you lack certain ingredients/equipment]
1. Get a moisturiser base-this will be a non-scented cream (usually get them from your local supermarket/chemist or cosmetics store).
2. Add whatever essential oil you love the smell of {do not use more than 3 oils} for example~
Orange, Lavender and rose make a good combination. Use 3 drops of Orange essential oil, 7 drops of Lavender essential oil, 2 drops of Rose essential oil. Rose essential oil can be expensive as can Chamomile, you generally want to get something you’ll like the smell of and that’s quite cheap. Orange oil, as well as other oils can cause photo toxicity~(be careful in sunlight on the skin). Other oils are not advised to be used in Pregnancy.
So do check out what you may like to use via; library books/online before getting and using any. You may also want to check out protection oils in using the cream for a protection spell.
3. Stir with a stick or shake lightly.
If you wish to add some Evening Primrose capsules, then do so. Just pierce with a pin and add to the cream-discarding the capsule coating.
4. Use on the hands for protection.
