Night-Time Creamy Rose Lotion

Almond oil and rosewater are great moisturizing lubricants for normal to dry and sensitive skin.

20 oz Almond oil
16 oz Rosewater
1 oz of red dried rose petals
3 oz. beeswax

Add the dried rose petals into the rose water and let set for three days, then strain out the petals and remove from the water.

Into a water bath (double boiler) put the oil and the wax and heat until the wax is dissolved then remove the pot from the fire.
add the Rosewater, beating until it is cool.
beat in the lotion until cold, and pour into a bottle!

You can use this lotion to remove makeup and clean your face, apply with your fingertips and remove with a fine tissue.

Tip:  You can add a teaspoonful of cornmeal while washing your face, to act as a gentle grain.
