Honey and Oil salve....dry skin

Okay, So I have gotten some emails about how to "make" this supposed honey oil lotion. Well, it isn't a fine science...sorry engineers:)

What I did:
For a one time use, put a small dab of "Really Raw Honey" on your finger tip. Drop 4 drops of almond oil (if for a face) or avocado oil(also okay for faces) or olive oil (better for hands and other dry areas) and rub between fingers until well combined. lightly massage into affected area and then spray or dab with some water.
It will be slightly sticky....it is just the nature of honey:) I recommend this for a night time treatment and leave it on overnight and you will be baby smooth in the morning.

In a small Jar: I mixed honey and oil together....and equal parts in a small baby food jar. This is good for moisturizing larger areas of the body. Then you dip in either a wooden stick to the mixture and stir it and then lift some out of the jar. Apple as necessary and follow the water instructions above.

Why a wooden stick? You don't need one, but it just helps from continually introducing the little things you are hosting on your hands into the mix.... it isn't necessary:)

I wouldn't store the mixture for more than a week! Make sure it stays covered.

If you are really struggling with dry skin, I highly, highly recommend placing a cool mist humidifier in the room where you sleep, it is an economic purchase! (you can get a bedroom size on for about $25 at Bed Bath and Beyond...and with your 20% off coupon it is even cheaper:) ) It does wonders for your skin and dry nasal cavities this time of year! You will be amazed at how much less oil or lotion you will go through!

Also consider adding more Omega-3's (which take about 1 month to see some improvement from)from an animal source to your diet....although in this climate...we all could use a little external help right now! But Dry skin in general is indicative of some sort of a nutritional deficiency!

Remember health is from the inside out...

Hope that helps!
