Having cleaned and toned up your skin, you should put on a herbal moisturizer. Any plain, unscented cold cream could be easily turned into a scented herbal cream by simply adding chopped up herb leaves to the cream. However, using this method you may find it hard to take out any little pieces of herb from your face! As an alternative you could heat the cold cream up lightly in a pan and add a little herb oil to it. Or for those more venturous you should try the following formula.

Nighttime Moisturizing Cream
Apply only a very small amount and leave it on your face nightlong.

Beeswax – 50gr
Cocoa butter – 25gr
Distilled water – 5 Tbs
Avocado oil – 5 Tbs
Wheat germ oil – 1½ Tbs
Borax – ¾ tsp

Melt down the beeswax, cocoa butter and avocado oil in a double saucepan over low heat. When all are totally liquefied and well combined, stir in the distilled water, wheat germ oil and borax. Whisk the concoction until it cools down to prevent granules forming.

Eyewash Lotion
Eye baths are restoring to fatigued eyes and useful in instances of conjunctivitis and eye strain. A cold infusion of any of the following herbs will assist clear bloodshot eyes; elderflowers, parsley, dried cornflowers, verbena, fennel and eyebright. If you could find to purchase eyebright herb, this will be by far the most effective.
