Cucumber Facial Cream
1 whole Cucumber - do not peel
2 ounces Sweet Almond Oil
1/2 ounce White Paraffin Wax - *caution* - wax is flammable when hot
Puree cucumber in blender or food processor. Empty into strainer or cheesecloth to strain. Melt wax in a glass or enamel double boiler over medium heat. Add oil to melted wax slowly, one drop at a time. Stir in cucumber until thoroughly combined. Remove double boiler from heat and cover. Let mixture cool slowly. This prevents it from forming crystals. Uncover and stir once while cooling. When mixture has cooled, place in airtight glass container and store in the refrigerator. Lasts for approximately 2 months.
