     Herbal baby oil is easy to make and nice to have on hand to use on delicate baby skin anytime of the year.

Supplies to Have Ready:
Clean Dry Jars-recycle your Glass Jars or use Canning/Mason jars.
Certified Organic Chamomile Flower and Calendula Flowers.
Certified Organic Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

When I made this I used ingredients from Mountain Rose Herbs.

Directions:
- Fill your jar half full with a combination of the chamomile & calendula.
- Fill the rest of the jar with the Olive Oil, leaving about a one-inch space at the top.
- If using a metal lid, place a piece of plastic wrap over the opening of the jar, then cap.
- Label, date and store in a cupboard or pantry for 6-8 weeks.
- Shake gently daily or occasionally.
- At the end of 6-8 weeks, use triple layered cheesecloth to strain the oil and discard the herbs.
- Be sure that the oil is free from all tiny herbal particles, this may indicate several strainings.

     I was recently on vacation and decided to share some eco-friendly skin care traveling tips!

Natural hand cleanser:
     For a quick all natural hand cleanser use lemon juice!  Most restaurants offer lemon slices with their water, or you can find lemons or concentrated lemon juice at any grocery store (concentrated lemon juice usually comes in a small, easy to carry plastic bottle, but if you get the concentrated kind, be sure to dilute it well with water).  Lemon juice gently cleanses the hands and is antibacterial.  It also helps removes odors and it smells great!  An added bonus: lemon juice is a mild exfoliant and will make your skin feel really soft.  In some cultures, bowls of lemon juice (diluted in water) are offered during meals to cleanse the hands.

Tone, hydrate, set makeup, and more with hydrosols:
     Hydrosols are some of my favorite ingredients to use and also formulate with: they have so many uses!  I recommend carrying around a bottle of hydrosol to tone and hydrate the skin throughout the day.   They can also be used to set mineral makeup.  Some of them also are antibacterial.  I suggest lavender hydrosol (common to find) or tea tree hydrosol (harder to find but some online vendors carry it).  Lavender and tea tree hydrosols are good all purpose hydrosols suitable for most skin types.

     The prospect of getting skin cancer is frightening for anyone. If the prognoses of doctors, dermatologists, beauty magazines and the media in general are to be believed, everyone is at risk any time they step into the outdoors without some form of protection. And yet, there's no hard scientific evidence that this is true. In fact, there's a growing consensus in the medical community that the anti-sun rhetoric that's had everyone slathering on sunscreen every time they step outside, is over-stated.

     In the absence of any consistently reliable standards or scientifically proven information, it helps to know as much as you can to make an educated guess as to the best options for minimizing the risk for yourself and your loved ones. Here's a brief summary of what you need to know:
