CAYCE QUOTE ON REMEDY 1968-7

    For making or keeping a good complexion, - this for the skin, the hands, arms and body as well, we would prepare a compound to use as a massage (by self) at least once or twice each week.
    To 6 ounces of Peanut Oil, add:

    Olive Oil.............2 ounces,
    Rosewater.............2 ounces,
    Lanolin, dissolved....1 tablespoonful.

    This would be used after a tepid bath, in which the body has remained for at least fifteen to twenty minutes; giving the body then a thorough rub with any good soap to stimulate the body-forces.  As we find, Sweetheart or any good Castile soap, or Ivory, may be used for such.
    Afterwards, massage this solution, after shaking it well.  Of course, this will be sufficient for many times.  Shake well and pour in an open saucer or the like; dipping fingers in same.  Begin with the face, neck, shoulders, arms; and then the whole body would be massaged thoroughly with the solution; especially in the limbs - in the areas that would come across the hips, across the body, across the diaphragm.
    This will not only keep a stimulating, with the other treatments as indicated taken occasionally, and give the body a good base for the stimulating of the superficial circulation, but will aid in keeping the body beautiful; that is, as to any blemish of any nature.
