Instructions
Begin by mixing the herbs in your mortar and pestle somewhat, (you don't need to grind them much because you will be straining it out of the water when you're done.) and pour bout a cup of water into a pot with a lid. Place the herbs in the pot and let it boil with the lid on, on low heat for 5-10 minutes, until the water has turned a bright yellow color from the Calendula petals.

Strain the infusion with a piece of cheese cloth (Be careful and let the infusion cool some before to avoid getting burned with hot water) and then mix the herb water into the lotion. how much lotion and how much of the infusion to use is up to you. You can use a lot or a little but you'll wanna be careful not to use too much or the cream will become too watery. I used about a half a cup of lotion and maybe a forth a cup of the herbal potion. Mix it together well.

Store in a glass bottle or a container with a lid. Apply to face 1-2 times a day and rub in well.
