I discovered this recipe by Celebrity facialist and founder of Joanna Vargas Salon and Skincare Collection. I’ve always wanted to get a facial appointment with her in NYC but always ran out if time as work got in the way!
She promises this recipe revives the mind but gives our complexion a nutrient rich and hydrating boost! She drinks this 4:00 PM for tired skin and tired bodies.
If you’re ever in NYC get an appointment for her iconic facial services.
My husband bought me not one but two lemon trees 🌳 a few months ago. I am enjoying my life with lemons so much! One tree is outside my business door and another is in my backyard.
So, I get creative and make things!
I usually kill plants cause I work so much in and out of town. But I am on a roll with aloe plants and lemon trees. They are not only surviving they are thriving!!!
One of the things I have made is a Lemon Facial Toner.
If you want to make some for yourself or your clients here is a recipe.
What you will need is:
2 fresh lemons (lemon peels only)
1 cup of bottled water
Place lemon peels in a pitcher. I prefer using a small glass one.
Add the water.
Cover and leave this mixture alone for at least 10 hours or overnight.
Strain the liquid through a coffee filter and pour into a clean and sterilized bottle. This refreshing toner will last up to two weeks.
Apply to your face with a flat cotton pad round.
Don’t use on acne or rosacea. Just to be on the age side.
Next up…Sparkling lemon water!
You don’t need to buy the lemon flavored sparkling water. You simply need sparkling water 💦 that you added lemon 🍋 slices too! So delightful and really quenches the thirst.
Serve in a wine goblet or antique shop glassware. Feel like royalty. My clients and family love this! And a fresh mint 🍃 leaf for decor.
Rich in anti-oxidants and increases serotonin in the brain. This delicious recipe comes from esthetician and massage therapist Summer Perry. She owns Summer Skin Institute in St Augustine Florida.

I love to whip up things in my beauty kitchen! One of my favorites especially this time of year is a facial steam. Not only do I like to use a humidifier in the treatment room I also love to whip this up.
What you will need is:
2 quarts of distilled water
1/2 cup of of fresh rose petals
Boil water. Add the flower petals. Allow it to cool a bit. Place towel over your clients head. Have her lean in towards the steamy brew. Do this for at least 4 minutes. 5 is even better. Great for the skin and the nasal passages too.
If your client is not into the scent of roses. Try another herb 🌿 or flower like fresh mint.
I find this so relaxing and refreshing. After a long day of doing facials and other services you will too!
I’m teaching two awesome classes!
