The Green Beauty Guide: Your Essential Resource to Organic and Natural Skin Care, Hair Care, Makeup, and Fragrances

1 cup dried rose petals

Yield:

4 ounces

This blend soothes dry, wind-blasted skin and aching muscles better than a Swedish massage
session! Oat bran nourishes the skin, while rose petals add a warm, luxurious touch.

The best way to use an herbal blend is to put it into a small, unbleached muslin (or organic
cotton) bag and tie it with a ribbon or string. Just put the bag under running water as you
prepare your bath. When you are done bathing, remove the bag, let it dry, then discard the
contents and rinse the bag. It’s ready to be used again!

Bath Full of Joy Blend

1 cup dried lemongrass

2 cups dried lemon peel

¼ cup dried peppermint leaves

¼ cup loose green tea

¼ cup bay leaves

Yield:

4 ounces

This bath blend has a very long shelf life. It also makes a great holiday stocking stuffer. Buy a
handful of fabric drawstring gift bags (they are fabulously inexpensive!) and fill them with this
fragrant blend. You can also use this blend as potpourri to add a fresh aroma to your lingerie
drawers or wardrobe.
