You can reuse the herbs as a body scrub works amazingly. Just grind the herbs for few seconds and u will have a good body scrub
When making your body scrub, do you try to dry most of the oil that is left in these or do you leave it in? Also, do you mix it with some thing else? I am pretty excited about this one so thanks for sharing!
Omg I often have left over herbs I’m gonna do that next time !! Thank you
Heidi, here's a tip for ya... I live in Texas and our summers here are insane. This is sandal wearing season and my feet tend to get dry and crack, also, sometimes my elbows and knees can get pretty dry. I mixed 1-cup of good olive oil, to a little over 1-cup of pink Himalayan salt; mix and use on dry skin and rinse w/warm water... I tell ya, you'll LOVE the softness of your skin; this is extremely handy for dishpan hands too, again, do it when your skin is dry, apply a bit (it goes a long way) and scrub, when you rinse... beautiful and healthy skin emerges.
I sometimes use this scrub (I make a separate batch and will add an essential oil to give it that 'spa' feel/scent) in the shower and rinse... I do not have to put on any lotion/cream afterwards. For safety in the shower, keep some plain baking soda and shut the shower off and sprinkle the baking soda to 'wash off' the oils so you do not slip and fall.
I enjoy your videos and the scripture... and yes, our God is ALWAYS good.
Shalom.
Salt is very drying, it dehydrates. Sugar is a humectant, it attracts moisture. I would not white sugar.
I had to do a double take when Heidi said she's 53! Our lady really knows how to take care of her skin and hair!
She does have gorgeous skin. Personally have been taking care of my skin since 11 and it pays rich dividends. So, I have been doing regular skin care/ masks for last 58 years and going
Wow
53 is not that old! Lol
@@dustylynn2663 It's not, but our skin really needs a lot of care as we age. =)
Yeah, she does look younger than 53, I'd have guessed 40 maybe
I am binge watching your videos. I am starting my garden again after getting away from my roots. I am also starting an herbal garden and find your vast knowledge helpful in my renewed interest in going all natural. Thank you for sharing your expertise. God bless!
Heidi,
I can hear you, and like you said you have to do when you can. If someone has a problem with it! they are the problem. You do live in a home and you are helping people to save and give your recipes for free. Heidi, thank you so much for sharing again with us, and how wonderful it is chemical free
Thank you Wendy!
Heidi please add a recipe for body odours
Thanks , I found the cream video which I had ask today
You are a God given gift to those who watch, listen and do.
One thing I like to do with my spent herbs... save in a jar, use the end of pantyhose or just a thin sock, fill sock with about a 1/2 - 1 cup of spent herbs, tie a knot in it and add it to your bath water. There is still amazing beneficial oil still on the herbs. Feels like baby's skin when ya get out. Love being able to reuse things that we 'think' are spent. ;)
God Bless & Keep You & Yours!
All my best,
Ceci.
You sell the cream but share your recipe, that's so generous ❤
Hi Heidi, I made my own skincare for a number of years, still do. Just a tip to make your melting process a little easier. Add your beeswax, Shea butter and coconut butter to your pot, once those have melted then add your infused oils....that way it will precent he beeswax from floating to the surface and hardening plus it will preserve the goodness from your infused oil. Another oil I personally am very fond of adding to my formulations is apricot kernel oil. Apricot kernel is a natural sunscreen, so will pair nicely with coconut and Shea butter, plus it has mega anti ageing properties.
Yes, I have done it that way before but the problem is I sometimes forget to add t he essential oils in later and start filling my tins only to have to dump them out and pretty much start over. So I have gone back to what works best for me
Lol. You brought back a memory talking about citrus oils. When I was a kid I used to eat oranges warm off the tree. I wouldn't peel them, I'd just pull them apart and stick my face in them. Took a while to figure out the rash around my mouth. 🤪
Heidi - FINALLY made this. Running low on what I purchased from you. Thanks so much; it turned out perfect. You make a difference in our lives!
Hi Heidi, This was a wonderful tutorial. And I love what you shared about coconut oil and Shea butter being helpful as natural sunscreens. I didn’t know that!! I am going to go watch that other video that you mentioned about natural sunscreens. I really need that in Texas!! Thanks so much for all you share!! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Thank you Mary!
I just learned that Aloe gel has close to an SPF 20-30 & Carrot Seed oil has SPF 50+!!! But it's obviously not an exact science. If a super pasty white person is going to be out on a boat all day long with skin exposed (swimming) I might just grab that awful commercial stuff to avoid the burn. This is great for everyday for sure!
Don't forget to add the coconut oil to you diet! That & applying after a shower ... 1 summer I never burned at all! Lots of mowing every week.
This is very similar to the one I make. For this old skin I use cocoa butter. I've used it on my mom's (94 y.o.!) legs and feet when it give her a pedicure and she loves it!🙂 Ok. She loves being pampered too.😏
Good daughter Trish
So sweet of you to pamper your mom. I used to help my mom bathe and afterwards would apply lotion. She would say she felt like a million. Pamper that Mama while you can!I ❤❤
Like the sandpaper idea. I’m going to order the ingredients to make for myself and for gifts. Thanks for sharing.
rose geranium and vanilla , thank you
A few times while hanging out in a stream we used the sand to exfoliate feet legs arms hands even the face, felt amazing.
I recently ordered some of this and I'm loving it!!! Highly recommend.
I loveeee plant therapy!! They have them on amazon for cheaper but I love the calming the child !
Wonderful video! You explain it so clearly! Thanks sweetie! 💖
Thank you for sharing. Used your basic recipe for pain salve (different oils and EO's).
Turned out great.
Thank you, Heidi. Always interesting. 😃
Really enjoyed learning about this cream . Thanks
12/28/2020 - Thank You Heidi for this video! I had to order the Vanilla and Rose Absolute EO’s from Plant Therapy and look forward to making this skin cream very soon! 🌱
Your skin looks great!....and Thank you for sharing your recipes.
Another great video! I have some dandelion infused oil that is left from another project. I plan on making some of this asap. Thanks for sharing!❤
Heidi thank you so much for being so gracious as to share your precious recipes. I shall definitely make this.
I had no idea that pansies were good for the skin. I’m so glad I learned that today because we always grow a lot of them. Thanks for the info!
Great recipe Mrs. Rain!
I've just stumbled onto your channel and cannot get enough of your knowledge! Thank you immensely for sharing. This is exactly what I need. I've been making my own skin cream for a few years already,, but I'm inspired by your creativity and some of the comments on here.
Blessings to all❤
Absolutely loving your videos! It was interesting to hear about how citrus oils should be avoided if you have sensitive skin, good info!
Ty for sharing! I hope to start growing my own herbs! You are amazing! I love your videos
Thank you Jackie!
I love your videos I’ve been binge watching because I made my own infused oils and body butters
I don't know if anyone else suggested this, but have you considered placing your little tins on Parchment, wax paper, or a silicone mat before pouring? That way any drips could be gathered up when cooled, and placed in a jar for you to have it for personal use. Just a thought.
I actually now put my tins on my various wooden kitchen boards Patrick made for me. That way when I spill some, I simply rub it into the board to season and protect it. It is totally food safe and there is not one drop that gets wasted
I loved this easy to understand, step by step video. I just made my first batch and can’t wait to use it. Thank you so much! 💕
Thanks, Heidi for the tip on citrus and sunburning.
I could not remember if I had said that before but thought it was important info :)
Great video, new subscriber here. Love how you mentioned that citrus oils can impact sensitive skin. I've got sensitive skin and I can never tolerate citrus oils and strong antiseptic oils like rosemary and teatree. Looking forward to your videos.
Thank you Heidi! I’ve learned so much from your channel and today you inspired me to use all those nice flowers I’ve been growing and dehydrating. I’m infusing my oil with calendula petals, rose petals, and English lavender and then I want to try your recipe for skin cream. Thanks to you, my garden is full of yummy herbs for teas, soaps, shampoo, creams, etc. ❤👍🏼😊
Thank you for this skin cream video. I usually just use essential oils and coconut oil and whip it to make a softer easier to use cream. Will be trying the essential oils combination you use here. Thanks for all your videos!
Another option for very dry skin if you don't want to use sandpaper - wash with a nice sugar scrub. This helps to clear off the dead skin cells so that the skin can better absorb the moisture. My good friend used to make and sell lotion and she made sugar scrub with the same scent so as to work together with the lotion/cream.
Always enjoy your recipes, great info
Great Tip about storing the Shea Butter in the glass container. I learned my lesson, when I found the packaging shredded and product eating by Mice! After a google search, I’ve learned mice LOOOVEEE this stuff. There diets consist of high fat! WHOOO KNEW?? 😅
I love these skin creams that I received from you yesterday❤ I may try to make them myself one day but right now it sure is easy just to order with PayPal! Awesome feel and awesome scent❤️ Thank you for offering these!
Another great video, Heidi. We really appreciate your thoroughness!!! You are a really gifted teacher. Oh, and tell Patrick to be careful up there on that roof!
Thank you Christy! Yes, I pray every day that he stays safe up there. So far the worst that has happened is he dropped his drill in the stinging nettle which is now 5' tall! Poor guy had to get in there to get it out! haha
I ordered some skin cream and am excited to try it. Tracking says that it should be here soon. I have used Plant Therapy oils for several years. The oils are high quality and shipping is free. The customer service is outstanding. It's a not a big company but it's a great family owned company.
Linda Radford theyre also on amazon! Cheaper there
I did not know that about sunscreen. Thank you! I found you a few days ago and I immediately subscribed to your channel. I look forward to making my skin cream and shampoos. Blessings to you.
Welcome here Bina! Hope you enjoy and find the content helpful and fun :)
Love this Heidi, will try this for sure. I have the butter, wax, on the hunt for geranium. Thank you.
Im going to try this.Thank you for sharing 🙏
I put my infused oil in a pump bottle and I use it to wash my face with it. Awesome
Thank you Heidi. that was fun. Just made a batch. Feel like a scientist now. for today the fused oil was only olive oil. 😊😊
So detailed and so much information. Great video. I want to start making my own skin care products as well as medicinal salves and such. This helps me and inspires me. Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad this is helpful and thank you!
Your skin looks amazing for your age. Thx for sharing
I love your videos, thanks for sharing Heidi. I'm heading out to the garden to harvest some blooms, I really need to start an infusion..... The noise from the roof was not a problem at all. God bless you, Kim
Glad that noise was not too bad, it is always hard to tell. Noises you think won't be noticeable end up sounding really loud in the video and vice versa, it is always guess work when you have background noises and pretty difficult to never have some kind of interruption when shooting videos from your own home - we may not have little ones around here but we do have a dog (sometimes two) and 10 chickens! haha
Thanks for sharing your recipe, that's generous.
Love this skin care recipe; I make a very similar one (and yes, LOVE the Costco virgin organic coconut oil). The one extra ingredient I add for my face/neck/chest is colloidal copper. I am 62 and nobody ever believes it. The skin care cream with the addition of colloidal copper is the secret! God bless and have an amazing day!
So do you dab on the colloidal copper separately or do you incorporate it into your lotion or salve?
@@vickivandever4492 I do both. I actually will spray it directly on my face sometimes, and it's incorporated into my facial cream.
Sounds like good advice! I’ll look forward to trying this!
A word of caution to those with copper sensitivities, if you develop symptoms of Wilson's disease - cut the copper out! Cheers
@@gtiernan1 hi doesn’t the cream separate the water from oils?
Or do you use emulsifier wax?
Yes! Yes! Yes! I've been thinking about you doing a new skin cream video. You must be able to read my mind. Thank you so much, Hiedi! Blessing
Haha! Cool! :D
I'm watching again and wondering if this would fluff up if I whipped it. You have more experience, so I'd love your thoughts before I try.
Awesome video, thanks for all the information & recipe, your skin is so beautiful
Thank you!! :D
I make my lotion with shea butter and oil and it’s good for a while but you give me more ideas thank you
Thanks for posting this, I'll haft to check it out!!👍✌💙
I plan on making my first batch! If it turns out I plan to gift it for Christmas or bdays!!😄❤️ I love watching all your videos!!❤️🙃
Love this and will try this
Hi Heidi,
Hello from hamilton, Canada.
Love your videos. Love your skin. Glad I found your video.
BTW just as an aside, I pulverize and use the left over "INFUSED OIL HERBS" from the infused oil and keep it a jar for use before and after gardening.
I never ever throw out precious herbs in oil. If face or hand too oily I use chickpea flour to remove excess oil. I try to not use soap at all on my face and I am 68 with pretty good spotless skin. Thks for all your tips. Take care and be safe
Because I have to make a LOT of skin cream and have a LOT of spent herbs because this skin cream is a great seller on my store, I just do not have the space for storing up the spent herbs where most of the benefits are gone anyway. Here is a video I did on some of the uses for them: czcams.com/video/eVUCY8iXfqk/video.html
Oily dry, normal I would highly suggest adding cacay oil. Exfoliation is so good for every age and this is a great oil!
It's funny how crunchy they really sound !! I actually went and found those black infinity jars you had shown at one time, to put my skin creme in..
You are so smart! And industrious! I don’t like the smell of Shea butter, either! I never use products with Shea butter!
Thank You For Sharing ! Definately Going to Try This 😉😇💓🌹💝🙏 Blessings and Love to You 😉😇💓🌹💝🙏
Excellent information ❣️
Thanks so much for sharing 👍🙏💯
Great video! Thanks Heidi! Now I need to make salve😊 My infused oils are ready to use. ❤
What all herbs did you use in your infusion? I am wanting to make a separate infusion for a more intense healing salve (even though this one has worked great for me) and have been working up some ideas. I need to get started on that infusion though, I keep forgetting! haha
@@RainCountryHomestead this will be more of a healing salve. Comfrey, plantain and dandelion. With some essential oil's. My hands and feet get so dry and crack so bad in the winter. I think I can also use this for a bug bite salve as well. We have chiggers, mosquitoes and ticks so bad. Ugh
1/4/2021 - Hey Heidi! I received my Plant Therapy EO’s in the mail today, and have made your skin cream recipe 🤩 I used a large Pyrex measuring cup in a pot of water on low and it was sooooo easy to pour. I melted the beeswax first then added the other ingredients. Once all melted I added the EO’s mixed well and poured into the containers. I will tell you that the PT rose absolute EO smells AMAZING ❤️ The PT Vanilla smells super as well 🎊 Thank You for sharing this recipe ❤️ Blessings from Green 🌱Ohio!
Can I buy this from you ? Where at ? Thank you , I am also interested in other products if you make them ? Like your toothpaste?
the spent herbs could make into nice fire starters maybe? It would be a way to bring a nice element to fireside time :) I love the idea to use it for a scrub!
Yep, I most often use t hem for fires: czcams.com/video/eVUCY8iXfqk/video.html
Grapefruit is an exception among the citrus oils. It doesn’t react with the sun.
I don’t like the smell of shea butter but I will try this with mango butter. Frankincense and ylang sounds awesome. I use doTerra oils.
Thank you so much really appreciate it 😊❤️🙏
Another great video Heidi! All these things are so good for your skin, I'm a LITTLE older than you and have been using these skin creams now for a few years (my own and now yours too) and I LOVE them...I use them on my hubby's "cracked" fingers (mechanical guys) and he likes it too...thank you for all you do out there! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN
Thank you Dawn!
@@RainCountryHomestead Heidi, please be encouraged that there are so many people that LOVE you guys for how you stand on things, and the information that you freely give to those of us out there that truly use your lotions, potions, tinctures, etc. plus the gardening tips, etc. I, personally, have learned so much and I say thank you by clicking that button! Blessings from Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
@@richardschmidt2430 nice honest review. Heidi is such a treat o watch
I make an infused oil with beeswax and store it in a large easy to use [wide mouth] container and then as I need it, I add the essential oils and perhaps CBD oil, heat for 30 seconds to one minute, and stir with a very thin knitting needle. That way, everything stays fresh and not overheated. I sometimes put the salve base into 4 or 8 ounce jars and then proceed as above. It's very flexible for me. My CBD oil is calendula, coconut, sometimes comfrey oil all from my garden plus the CBD oil, and I named it "Atomic Balm". And it is as named. Just great
I add the spent herbs to soap batches at trace
Thank you so much for your recipe Homemade Natural Skin Cream, I would love to do it if I complete items to make it 😀👌👍🙏
i like to blend the left over leaves and flowers and make a body scrub
DoTERRA is therapeutic and smells divine. My favorite so far. It goes through extra testing and some of it you can eat/drink.
I know many like DoTERRA but I will never again use or purchase any items that are from a Multi Level Marketing company. The reason they are expensive is because of all the middlemen that get paid. Many essential oils are edible regardless of brand, the only reason NOW foods does not claim that is because it costs a lot of money to get verified for such. Though I do not do it often, I have consumed some essential oils such as using the peppermint or orange as flavoring when making homemade chocolates. They turn out great
Wow. So good!!!!
ah the left over oiled flowers would be great for tea cookies!
Maybe to add a bit of color, nothing more
Thank you so much. ❤
Made my face cream, I cut the recipe in half. In the oils, I also included a cap of evening primrose, jojoba, vit E, sweet almond oil, and caster oil. I am very pleased with the result.❤
Heidi, you have the MOST BEAUTIFUL skin. I'd like to be able to make my own skin cream. Thank you.
Another GREAT video! Thanks Heidi (Mighty Mo)
Thanks Sharon AND thanks for remembering my old nick name! :D
It’s nice to know others use sand paper on their feet to get rid of rough spots lol
I'm so glad you added that I can go ahead and make the skin cream with the uninfused oil and already be using that while I'm waiting till I have the herbs and flowers I want to use. Thank you for sharing what you know.
I followed your steps for making this salve but used calendula flowers, yarrow, plantain and comfrey. I gave some to my dad who is elderly and always falling and cutting himself. He applied it to a recent gash to his forehead and he told me that within three days the bruise was gone and the cut was totally closed. Yippy, for homemade, nontoxic healing creams.
I also made your salve without the plantain, yarrow and comfrey and dear Heidi, my skin is softer and moister than it's ever been. I've always had extremely dry skin and I love this combination of herbs and oils. Thank you for sharing and God Bless.
So glad those are working well for you!
Tip: I measure and melt my wax. I then place a heat safe mat over my scale and finish measuring out the ingredients. Entire process is done in just a few minutes. Thanks Heidi!
Your skin is amazing
My son makes lotions like this but with essential oils. I use just that in my face and body. I'm 57 and they are amazing. He made some for age spots, circulation, inflammation, pain and healing. Better than what's on the market!
I will be 57 soon and have been very happy, I make mine with essential oils as well, you may have missed that but for those who buy from us I have a total of four options and one does not include any essential oils for those with sensitive skin
I’m excited to try this. I’ve made some creosote oil extract from leaves I collected in the desert. They smell like rain. I made soap with that scent. I’d like to add some other scents to it. I wonder if vanilla and calendula?
I noticed if when cooking-(might not be the best) grape seed oil does not penetrate the veggies if I cook/ fry over the stove- to brown, they don’t get soaked ,might be different using what your doing.💕
You have fabulous skin!
Thank you Carol :D
Hi Heidi, God is good all the time. Hallelujah. Amen.❤❤❤
The essential oils you pick is the reason on how the cream works. Oils are very specific. They all have benefits but all specific benefits. You need to know what you need out of the oils for your skin needs. My skin is older so what I want is different than a 20 year old.
Generally speaking yes, but at 56 (next month) I find it really boils down to the main ingredients but I can mix up the essential oil and get the same results
@@RainCountryHomestead Always !
Fran P. Thanks 👍👍
I’m working on my floral infusions as we speak! I’m so tickled to FINALLY have my own herbal flowers and such. We have soooo many ideas. Thank you so much for all your hard work sharing what you do. You are the BEST and I mean it whole heartedly!! Love, hugs and blessings ~The Kid! ❤️
Thank you so much Lisa! Hope all is going well among that chaos of moving. Excited to see what all you will be able to do once you get settled in the new place. Are you thinking of starting a channel?
Rain Country No channel for me but I’m trying to encourage my daughter to start one. She’d be great at it and mayyybe I would make a cameo appearance or two. Hahahaha
@@lisabooker6405 That would be cool!
Thank you.
Thank you😊
Hi Heidi, I’ve been making my own skincare for about 13 years now. Just a suggestion. Add about 2% of your formula hexane free castor oil. Castor oil is a natural humectant, has anti microdial properties, and is wonderful in skin creams or hair treatment formulations.
Yes and while I do not prefer to add castor oil to my blend, I do use in conjunction with the skin cream, usually in the evenings as described in this video: czcams.com/video/wfBOPlzSujE/video.html
And also in my castor oil series: czcams.com/play/PLzVtTPDzFPKG77txPFzVfpyvOfMuo_7wk.html
FINALLY someone intelligent enough to speak in plain English
