Neckline Cream
Recipe
Neckline Cream
When preparing the neckline cream, do not allow the ingredients to
boil. Overheating may cause granules to form in the cream, making it
lumpy or even separating it.
1 tbsp. sweet-almond oil
2 tbsp. grape-seed oil
1 tbsp. cocoa butter
2 tsp. beeswax
1/4 tsp. borax powder
3 tsp. orange-blossom water
20 drops neroli oil
- Combine the sweet-almond and grape-seed oils with the cocoa
butter and beeswax in a double boiler. Heat just until the beeswax and cocoa
butter have melted. Blend the mixture thoroughly.
- In a separate pot, heat the borax powder and orange-blossom water
until the borax crystals have dissolved.
- Drizzle the hot borax combination into the hot olive oil
mixture, stirring constantly until it forms a creamy emulsion.
- Let the cream cool until it feels just barely warm to the touch;
stir in the neroli oil and mix thoroughly. Transfer the cream to a
4-oz. jar.
Note: the shelf life of this cream is about 2 months. When
refrigerated, however, it will keep for up to 4 months. |
Intensive Neckline Care
Treat yourself once a month to this gentle and firming
yogurt-and-peach mask. Peel 1 small, ripe peach, mash it with a fork
and combine it with 5 tbsp. of yogurt. Stir to form a creamy
mixture. Spread on the upper chest and breasts and leave on for 20
min. Rinse off and apply neckline cream.
Quick Neckline Care Oil
For a quick neckline oil, add 5-10 drops of rose essential oil to
1/2 cup of jojoba oil. For very dry skin, add 5-10 drops of
palmarosa essential oil. Massage into your neckline.
For a beautiful bust
Enhance the appearance of your bust-line through better posture.
Make the conscious effort to stand up straight and tall at all
times, with your head held high and shoulders back.
 A gentle sea
salt exfoliation can help stimulate circulation in the upper torso
while removing dead skin cells. Dampen your skin and rub it gently
with some finely ground sea salt and a bit of olive oil. Then wash
off thoroughly. |

Application:
Each day, cleanse the skin of the neckline and chest; then spread
cream or oil evenly into the area. Gently message the lotion into
your skin. Make sure that the cream or oil has been thoroughly
absorbed before you get dressed, to avoid staining your clothing.
Dab away excess cream or oil with a tissue. |

Ingredient
Benefits:
Healthful beeswax:
Melted wax from the bees honeycomb serves two purposes: It helps
support the skin's natural ability to retain moisture and it acts as
a thickening agent for the cream.
Nourishing grape-seed oil: Oil produced from grape seeds has a very fine consistency, which
makes it particularly well suited for use in light skin-care
lotions. Grape-seed oil also helps nourish the skin without leaving
a feeling of greasiness.
Softening sweet-almond oil:
The delicate oil pressed from sweet almonds is tolerated well by all
skin types. Sweet-almond oil is easily absorbed by the skin; it can
also help make the sensitive area of the upper chest soft, smooth
and elastic.
Skin-toning neroli oil:
Neroli essential oil, which is obtained from bitter-orange flowers,
has a warm and rather intoxicating floral scent. It can benefit
mature skin that lacks suppleness, vitality and tone. Neroli oil
also has a mild sedative effect and can help relieve anxiety and
insomnia.
 Invigorating orange-blossom water: This flower water is a by-product of the steam distillation of
neroli oil. It has the fresh, sweet scent of oranges and invigorates
the skin.
