Herbal Skin Care

Today I'm going to be sharing with you two of my absolute favorite herbal concoctions. I ALWAYS have a tub of each in my medicine cabinet, my purse, my car, and my hiking gear. What makes both so great is that they have so many uses!

Beauty balm

This is an absolute must to have on hand, especially during winter. This balm is made with coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax  and is a perfect for dry skin. The soothing, herbal oils absorbs quickly along with all the nourishing properties of the herbs. There are so many uses for this; lotion, dry skin, cold sores, cuticles, irritated skin, lip balm & more. The coconut oil in this one makes it a little more prone to melting, so during summer months, I remove the one in my car.
