 Herbal beauty baths have been utilized for ages to pamper, care for, and beautify the body. Before facials and massages, bathing was the leading path to individual health and whole-body detoxification.
Merely adding herbs to your bath water can help treat almost any beauty problem, and can be very useful in soothing the body and skin.
Current studies have associated annoying skin problems like acne and eczema with undue stress. During these times, the body releases hormones that weaken the skin's resistance against breakouts, dry patches, and redness.
Fortunately, help for your skin is as near as your bathtub.

| ESSENTIAL OILS |
 Lately I have been studying about essential oils and their use in skincare products.
For many centuries essential oils have been used for the treatment of illnesses and other physical and spiritual needs.
For instance, we find in the New Testament that wise men presented the Christ child with frankincense and myrrh. Both of these are essential oils.

| CLOSING THOUGHTS |
Moms, take a "time out" and give yourself a relaxing bath and afterwards put some sweet almond oil on your skin to moisturize.
Essential oils - what did you learn?
Tacos are a "favorite" here in Mexico and we love the veggie ones in our family.
