Azida Eye and Face Cream with Hemp Oil

A fragrance-free, hemp oil-based moisturizing cream that is gentle enough for the delicate skin around your eyes. With aloe, evening primrose oil, comfrey, and eyebright to tone, nourish, and keep your skin looking younger.

having mentioned that, i did recently purchase a nice face cream (inexpensive) from Aveeno called Positively Radiant Anti-Wrinkle Cream....just to start taking better care of my skin immediately.

here's a most natural one, the kind i like best, from the book Asian Secrets of Health, Beauty and Relaxation-- from the most famous spas of the east:

Traitional Honey-Cucumber Facial

This simple and sensual facial, offered at Banyan Tree Spa Bintan and Banyan Tree Spa Phuket, leaves your skin feeling soft and plump and your mind questioning the need for progress in the beauty industry. Who needs electric steamers, electro-magnetic currents, alpha-hydroxy creams for wrinkle reduction and ultimately cosmetic surgery, when nature can be so gentle on the skin and so much kinder on the complexion?

For Scrub

8oz (1 cup) clear honey (thai honey is the most nutritious for this)
10 drops fresh lime juice
1 medium sized cucumber, thinly sliced

Steps

1. cleanse your face with warm water and a natural cloth
2. mix the honey and lime juice together and massage into your face for 15 minutes
3. wipe away the residue of of honey with a wet, warm cloth. pat dry.
4. neatly place the cucumber patches over your face and neck (covering mouth and eyes is optional). They feel cool while they tighten the skin and replenisch moisture.
5. finishing with a delicate moisturizer is optional, but not necessary.
