There is a great recipe for basic skin cream (article by Rosemary Gladstar) in the Mar/Apr 2002 issue of Herbs for Health, www.discoverherbs.com . If there are no back issues available for purchase, you can get a photocopy of the article. They were very nice and very fast to send me a photocopy of an article in a backissue when I needed one. If anyone has this issue or has seen the cream recipe, it calls for distilled water and aloe vera gel, as well as various oils and beeswax. I was wondering if CS could be substituted for the distilled water? Any problems with that? The advantage of making one's own face/hand/body cream to me is the complete lack of preservatives (the parabens, etc). I do keep my homemade cream in the fridge. Amazingly, a couple of friends and aquaintances have commented that my skin looks nice since I have been using this cream. (I have very dry cheek skin and a tendency to a rosacea looking condition) paula -- Dinsdale and Julius Groucho, Bailey and Thumper (bunnies); Spati and Ripi (cats) mailto: [email protected] http://community.webshots.com/user/polcarter
