1 tablespoon honey

Paraffin Wax Treatment For Hands and Feet
Deep conditioning treatment to soften and smooth your feet and hands.
Supplies:
3 blocks paraffin wax
3 oz. vegetable oil
20 drops of essential oil
a few drops of olive oil
plastic sandwich bags
Melt the paraffin, oil, and the scented oil in a double boiler. Be sure to use a double boiler for safety purposes.
Very carefully pour the wax into a greased foot tub and wait until a skin has formed on the top of the wax.
At this point the
temperature should be about right for submerging your hands and feet.
Be sure to test a little on your wrist first to make sure it is cool enough. Thoroughly
wash your hands and feet and pat dry with a soft cotton towel.
Smooth on the olive oil and be sure to cover every inch of your hands and fingers or
feet and toes. Dip each hand or foot into the wax repeatedly until you have several layers of wax built up.
Have someone help you put on the sandwich bags onto each hand or foot and then relax for about 30 minutes.
For added benefit, place a bath towel over your hands or feet while you wait.
Now to remove the wax... simply peel it away. Start at the wrist or ankle area and pull
it down.
It should come off in large sections. Follow with a hand and foot massage.
Solution for Dry Elbows and Knees:
Start by using a good body scrub to exfoliate in the shower. Next mash-up pineapple in the blender and rub it on your elbows and knees.
Leave it on for about 15 minutes so the natural enzymes can do their work. Shower it off and follow up with a thick lotion. You'll be amazed at how soft your skin feels!

Now, enter the shower and stand under the steam (not the hot water!) For 10 minutes. Feel the oil slip into your skin. Next, stand under the warm -- not hot -- water for 10 minutes... Then wash is usual.
Blemished Skin Body Treatment
This treatment is great for broken-out backs. Add enough water to crushed almonds or cornmeal to make a paste.

The skin will look clear following your shower.
