Dandelion–Elder Flower Blemish Lightener
Yields 2 cups
Adapted
from old wives’ recipes, this classic blemish lightener uses
buttermilk. Many old recipes call for tansy flowers, but I find elder
flower to be just as lovely.
1 cup fresh elder flowers
1 cup fresh dandelion flowers
2 cups fresh buttermilk
Combine all the ingredients in a glass
jar. Steep overnight in the refrigerator (refrigeration is important!).
Strain and reserve the liquid. Using a cotton ball, apply the lotion to
your face in upward movements. Once your face is covered, lie down and
rest for 10 minutes. Rinse with cool water.
Store this lotion in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
