Basic Body Lotion for all Skin Types

 by Denise Perez

1 cucumber, peeled and chunked
1/4 cup barely warm chamomile tea
2 Tablespoons glycerin

In blender or food processor, liquefy cucumber.  To remove seeds, strain through the sieve into the bowl.  Add tea to cucumber juice, along with glycerin, stirring well.  When mixture is cool, bottle and refrigerate.  Apply to skin after a bath or shower.  Don't rinse off.

More dry skin relief:  Pure safflower margarine, good quality mayonnaise, and olive, safflower or avocado oils make excellent moisturizers for dry skin.  The margarine and olive oil are especially easy for skin to absorb.
