Ingredients

2 tbsp whole flaxseed

1 cup water

1 tsp raw honey

½ tsp sweet almond oil

3 drops lavender essential oil (optional scent)

Procedure

Simmer flaxseed in water for 6–7 minutes until it turns mucilaginous; strain through muslin while hot.

When lukewarm, stir in honey, almond oil, and lavender.

Store in a pump-top bottle; keeps 8–10 days in the fridge.

Instructions

Morning or evening, spread a light layer on damp skin and pat until it feels tack-free.

Benefits

Omega-3s and lignans in flaxseed improve elasticity and calm irritation.

Honey speeds healing and guards against microbes.

Almond oil and the gel’s natural film soften rough patches and lock in moisture.
