Results of the hair and scalp serum for dry, frizzy and out of control hair

How do I start this story?

My husband took the Morning Dew body butter with him at work, because (silly him) he got sick and tired of borrowing other peoples creams so he can apply it on his elbows and dry spots. This lady tried it, loved it and gave me a call so I can send her some via hubby...wait, the story is not about the cream :-)


For the purpose of having a visual of the type of hair and skin I am trying to figure out a treatment - I will say that she is African American. As far as I know all my friends have a problem with extreme dryness and ashiness of the skin AND with managing their hair.


So....Angie asked if I can mix something up so she can apply it to her scalp and hair, because they are way too dry and out of control. She said that she usually wears her hair in a wrap and she would love to have something to keep it manageable.


Well, right away I thought of the Jojoba Oil and how it has always been used in hair treatment, such as dandruff, split ends, conditioning the hair and skin - because its not really an oil, its a liquid wax that is comes closest to our skins sebum! I put some peppermint essential oil to give it cooling effect AND some green tea extract to aid the peppermint in fighting dandruff and dry skin.


She called me yesterday and she was ecstatic! She let me know that her hair now is soft, silky, shiny and not at all greasy! Its easier to manage it and she loves the feeling of the peppermint! Wow...I was so happy to hear her say that!Its always a good feeling to hear how you helped someone :-)Angie even said that she wants to take the serum to her beauticians and let her use it. If she likes it, most likely I will supply her with some more. I made her 2oz and she said that thats a LOT and its gonna last her forever!


I hope good things are gonna keep coming for this serum. If you wanna see what I got her, its right here:

The benefits of teas for the skin

I always wanted to make something really herbal - not something that is with essential oils (I could though) and finally did it. I made a tea from chamomile, lavender and raspberry leaf and mixed it with jojoba oil, shea butter, mowrah butter and cocoa butter. I was really curious how its gonna turn out and how its gonna feel on the skin.


I decided to NOT put any beeswax and just go with the flow and see what happens. Well, what happened was a nice fluffy, whipped and light mixture of the butters and teas! The natural scent of the tea was still there - an amazing aroma of chamomile, lavender and raspberry leaf! If I added any essential or fragrance oil it just wouldnt be the same - it would have ruined it! So, I am sacrificing it having any sensual, enticing scent and going for the healing powers of our herbs and butters.


The cream is so light that its perfect for moisturizing the face. When you put any heavy cream, lotion or oil on your face and around the eyes - it makes those dark circles and bags under the eyes pop even more. So, aside from this light - it has the chamomile tea to help with that too. Chamomile is known to help with dark circles, do you remember you grandma ever telling you to place a teabag of chamomile on your eyes? Because its containing Mowrah Butter - it helps with the elasticity of skin and helps prevents wrinkles.


Chamomile tea is rich in an essential oil called azulene which has anti-inflammatory properties and can help to relieve skin irritation and itching. Together with Shea Butter, this works perfectly for skin conditions such as itchiness, rashes, psoriasis, eczema, very dry skin etc. My next project would be making an exfoliate paste of chamomile tea and powdered milk for sensitive skin.

Lavender tea tones the skin and we all know that lavender has a wide use for skin care - psoriasis, eczema, bug bites, acne, burns, chaffed and irritated skin etc.

Raspberry leaf tea acts as an astrigent on irritated skin, it tightens the top layer of the skin amd improves tissue firmness - thus is perfect for applications on face or hands. A raspberry leaf decoction is a home remedy for inflamed or oozing skin. The tannins in the leaves can shrink blood vessels and stimulate skin regeneration. Because the decoction is a mild disinfectant, it can help prevent bacterial infections.



So, all these together work in perfect harmony! When I apply it to my face it stays soft as never before the whole day! Not one commercial cream has done that for me!
