Natural Body Care: recipes, tips & classes with Joan Morais August Issue in this issue Recipe: Fresh Fruity Facial Mask Tips: Borax: a natural cleaner Quote Corner Recipe: Fresh Fruity Facial Mask This mask will leave your face feeling soft and smooth. Honey naturally moisturizes and purifies the skin. Yogurt contains enzymes that remove dead skin cells, nourishes and softens the skin. Fruits contain alpha hydroxy acids and brighten the skin. Strawberries soften, nourish, moisturize and are good for oily and acne skin. Avocados nourish, add natural oil and are good for dry and mature skin. Fresh Fruity Facial Mask 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon yogurt (best to use organic) 1 ripe strawberries(mashed) or 1 tablespoon ripe avocado(mashed) (best to use organic) Mix all ingredients together, apply to clean face, leave mask on face for 10 minutes. Wash off with a warm wash cloth. Tips: Borax: a natural cleaner Want to boost the cleaning power to wash your clothes? Try Borax, also known as 20 Mule Team. I use Trader Joe's laundry detergent. It is unscented, non-toxic and biodegradable. When I want an extra boost for soiled clothes, I add a 1/2 cup of Borax to the washing machine along with the laundry detergent. Borax is a natural mineral and is a great cleaning agent. It is found next to the laundry detergents. It has many other cleaning uses and many are listed on the box of 20 Mule Team. Quote Corner The state of the world today demands that women become less modest and dream/plan/act/risk on a larger scale. ~Charlotte Bunch activist in women's and human rights movements www.joanmorais.com Natural Body Care Classes Register Now call 707 426-9480 Resources for Supplies & Books Mountain Rose Herbs From Nature with Love Recommended Books Join our mailing list! email: info@joanmorais.com phone: 707 426-9480 web: http://www.joanmorais.com
