From Grandma's Desk: For Christmas my niece Lindsey gave me some wonderful homemade lotions and potions. One of the potions was a face wash she made from Olive Oil and Castor Oil. It is fantastic. Instead of using soap or cleanser that tend to dry out the skin this blend of oils cleans the dirt off your skin without drying or stripping the bodies natural oils. It is very simple and wonderful 8 parts Olive Oil and 2 parts Castor Oil. Use a small dab in your hand then massage it into your skin leave on for a few seconds then wipe off with a moist warm cloth. My skin cleared up in 2 days. This morning before washing my hair I applied it to my scalp and it made my hair beautiful and my scalp felt healthy and not itchy as before. Thanks Lindsey for a wonderful Christmas gift.
