Personal Skin Rescue Cream
I had always admired my friend whose skin was in beautiful condition even though she spent a lot of time in the sun. On writing retreat visits, I noticed that she put coconut milk, avocado, or aloe Vera leaf gel (actually, almost any juicy fruit) over her skin anywhere that was not covered with clothing.
At first this habit seemed weird. Until one day she rubbed avocado over my skin before we played in the ocean like a pair of mermaids. The feel of my skin in the water and refreshed texture afterwards were unexpected—and soothingly lovely.
It was then that I realised she had discovered and taught me another secret of nurturing skin health.
We made blends of coconut milk, aloe vera and avocado and stored it in the fridge between uses. We used our own small pot of the blend even after it became activated like yoghurt and slightly brown. It still felt to be a nurturing and soothing food for the skin; our largest organ.
Daily use all over my skin after a shower has helped my skin feel better; less dry. My skin has become comfortable and softer, as some spots and bumps smoothed or faded over time. Skin blush from too much time unprotected under brilliant blue skies quickly soothed when the cream was smoothed on. Best of all, the terrible itching and dryness I used to feel during cold winters after a shower has abated with regular use—hence the name of Skin Rescue Cream; used externally.
Because I enjoy aroma, and believe essential oils can be beneficial, I often add drops of (YL) Young Living™ Cypress, Frankincense, & Cedarwood, and occasionally other favourite essential oils. This has become a recipe used by family and friends.
I discovered that using LS – 658 LadyShip organic nutrient essence extractor allowed the skin nutrient blend, or Personal Skin Rescue Cream, to keep adequately in the fridge for three weeks. Although I had used other mixers, I have found LadyShip to produce the best results for me. Of course the essential oils could add benefit to the length of keeping time.
The foods I make with LadyShip are very smooth and keep well in the fridge. I make raw ‘nutrient soups’ and green smoothies—nutrients for internal health also benefit skin.
I thank my friend for sharing the gift of skin food, that came from her own inner knowing, and for her willingness for me to pass this idea on as a gift offered to those who visit the website. My friend is also passionate about birth and the wellbeing of family and community. Enjoy this gift that comes from a friend who is family—a sister of the heart. Pay it forward.
| Ingredients:
Without LadyShip, make small amounts more often: i.e. close to equal parts avocado and coconut milk with small amount ofaloe Vera leaf. Too much aloe makes the blend to liquid. |
Essential oil options that we use:
WE add a tiny bit of honey to a small amount of the blend as we use it, for extra feeling of tone and soothing benefit to any area of we feel may be helped over time . |
Method:
Place all ingredients into LadyShip. Pulse thoroughly several times, then set onto Auto. Store Personal Skin Rescue Cream in small containers. We use a different size or colour for each family member and store in the fridge between applications.
How we use Personal Skin Rescue Cream
After a shower, smooth all over the skin. Or use several times a day for extra soothing benefit on location of choice; in cases of older skin (like mineJ), too much fun in the wind or sun, or when skin has had minor unexpected close encounters with surfaces, objects or small living things. My skin feels generally replenished with daily use—it took time to show benefits. Discover your own personal skin rescue wonders.
