Fresh Melon Lotion
Fresh Melon Lotion
A lovely, inexpensive-to-make, and totally luscious summer idea. You need 1/4 fresh, ripe melon, 1/2 lemon and 1 tsp olive oil. Peel and seed the melon (of any variety). Press the half lemon to extract 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Using a food processor or blender, puree the fresh melon. Filter its juice through a piece of muslin and reserve. Add to the melon juice the olive oil and lemon juice, and store in a covered bottle or container. Apply twice a day to the face and neck, using cotton pads, and allow to dry naturally. Especially good for quickly calming the pain of a mild burn or sunburn.
