Hot water???

I got a rosemary bush in the backyard can I make rosemary stuff for my skin??
As long as you don't use chemicals to grow it it will be fine. Also always rise any outdoor plant with a solution of baking soda and water (1Tablespoon per 2 quarts water) to remove pollutants.


Here are a two recipes - I am sure you can find more:





Facial Tone and Refresh Spray


The Ingredients


3 1/2 cups witch hazel


1/2 cup dried rose petals


5 sprigs of fresh rosemary





Mix ingredients together making sure it is all blended well. Strain. Splash on your face after cleaning skin.





Lavender Rosemary Soap:





2 lbs clear melt %26amp; pour base


Lemon essential oil


Lime essential oil


4 tsp dried rosemary leaves





Instructions:





Melt the soap base over a double boiler and gently stir in the rosemary leaves. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Add 1/4 oz of each essential oil and stir. Most of the rosemary will float, but the finer particles of rosemary will sink, leaving a nice speckled effect.








**************************************...


To dry rosemary - rinse completely and tie twine around the bottom of the bunch (10-20 stalks) and hang upside down in a clean dry area like a closet or bedroom - the kitchen will leave a layer of cooking stuff and the bathroom is too damp. Good Luck!
