Beauty Product Recipe

Of all the beauty products I have created my very favorite is the first one I whipped up when I was a teen. I call it Olive and Lizzy’s Egg Facial. It leaves my skin smooth and hydrated. After using it once a week for almost every week of my life, no one believes I’m 102 years old!

Trust me, it really works. You just have to get around the icky part of egging your face.

1 egg beaten

1 tablespoon of warmed honey

1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil

1. Whisk egg, honey, and olive oil until mixture is emulsified.

Emulsified = emulsion = two or more liquids that are normally unmixable now mixed so there is no separation.

2. Apply mask to face with a facial brush or hands.

3. Let mask sit for twenty minutes then rinse off. It might feel a little bit itchy but that’s your skin being drawn tighter. I like to sprinkle just a dab of water on my face and use the mask as an exfoliator before completely rinsing it off.

The reasons why it works so well:

Egg has a temporary tightening effect which stimulates the circulation.

Honey has antibacterial properties.

Olive oil is a natural moisturizer.

It leaves your skin feeling smooth and hydrated. If there is any chance you might be allergic to honey do a test spot first. It’s rare to have an allergy to honey but when it doubt check first.

I hope you enjoy this easy-peasy, all natural facial.

Someone dear to Olive is found dead — toes up and barefooted — in Digby’s Bees lavender field. Olive and Lizzy team up with WonderDog to find the killer. Digby’s hives are home to the wondrous Soprano bees. The little buzzers are the source of the secret ingredient that powers their Nonna’s Cold Cream — a fountain of youth in a jar.

Finding the killer becomes more of a challenge as the gals protect Digby’s bees from a determined land developer who wants the beekeeper’s farm. The clock ticks as saving the honeybees becomes every bit as important as finding the cousin-killer.

While Olive and Lizzy buzz about, Grams, nonagenarian ace reporter for the Silverfish Gazette, takes on the story of a diamond heist in nearby Sarasota. Can the gals protect Grams from another near catastrophe or can the feisty lady handle it alone?

Help the Cold Cream gals solve the mystery of the Lavender Toes while once again bailing Grams out of trouble. And what about those bees?

Every book comes with a recipe for a homemade beauty product.
