Almond Milk

This is a wonderful product for anyone who has dry or aged skin. Almond
oil lubricates and softens the skin, and glycerin helps it retain
moisture. The herbal waters are astringent and toning.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup rose, lavender, or distilled water
1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin
1/4 to 1 teaspoon almond oil
12 drops grapefruit seed extract
5 to 10 drops essential oil for fragrance (optional)

Make rose or lavender water by placing a handful of dried lavender or rose petals in a glass mason jar and cover with boiling water. Seal and set overnight. Strain. Combine all the ingredients in a pretty jar and shake to blend. Note that vegetable glycerin is available in health food stores, as is grapefruit seed extract.
