Today felt like a refreshing autumn day despite it being the middle of June. We spent the morning picking Asparagus at Berryland, then headed home. I noticed our rose bush had bloomed a surprising amount of blossoms this year. I collected a few skin care recipes I wanted to make with our roses. Utilizing the natural benefits of using plants from your garden to create a soothing skin remedy. Cole and I headed outside to pick a few that were starting to wilt. Cole loved the smell and said he didn’t want to wash his hands when we came inside because his hands smelled so good. I thought that was pretty cute. He’s a silly kid. 

Creating a Calming Skin Remedy Using Plants from Your Garden

The first recipe I wanted to make was a Rose Petal Aloe. I peeled a large aloe leaf, then removed the inner flesh. I then blended the aloe flesh with the rose petals and a few ground ivy flowers for added soothing anti-inflammatory benefits. I found the recipe I used today on The Nerdy Farm Wife blog. I used fresh aloe instead of aloe vera gel and added the ground ivy and rose petals from my garden. I love creating chemical-free skin care products.
