This soothing body oil is a must for dry skin. Especially for feet and hands that are exposed to winter weather when the skin is most likely to have a tendency to dry out and crack. The main ingredients are both natural and safe to use for all ages. Almond and Olive oils have been used since ancient times for skin and beauty care products.Parsley is well known to contribute to healthy skin and the seeds are used for the extraction of an oil called Apiol, which has been known to have healing properties.

Difficulty: Easy

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 cup of Parsley leaves (dried or fresh)
  • 1 quart Almond or Olive oil
  • 1 quart jar with a lid
  1. Step 1

    Place the Parsley in the jar. Warm the oil to the point where you can still touch it.

  2. Step 2

    Pour the warm oil over the Parsley in the jar and mix well so the herb is well covered.

  3. Step 3
     

    Place the covered jar on a sunny window sill or in a warm room for 3 days. Get ready to enjoy a soothing body massage.

    Bottle the oil in a clean jar with a tight lid. No need to refrigerate. Use as needed and as often as you would like.
