Ginger Skin Cream

Description: Ginger invigorates, and oil soothes. Try this double dose for dry skin. Adapted from Homemade Beauty Recipes.

Ingredients:

• 2 inches piece fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons light sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons apricot kernel oil
• 2 teaspoons vitamin E
• 1/2 cup cocoa butter

Steps:

1. Preheat your oven on the 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.
2. Place the ingredients, including the ginger in a glass or stainless steel pan and heat just until the cocoa butter is melted and the oils are blended.
3. Pour into a clean, dry container and store in a cool dry place. You can add a few drops of lemon or other essential oil for a nice twist. Relax, and enjoy!
