Seaweed Self Tanning Lotion

Seaweed Self Tanning Recipe

"The light of heaven effectively appears as darkness to those who are in the love of self and of the world." - Swedenborg. Arcana 2441

This Self-Tanning Lotion was discovered completely by accident. As I was distilling some watercress, I removed the distilled clear liquid, but the remaining liquid at the bottom of the saucepan reduced to nothing, and then burnt to a mocha brown color on the bottom of the saucepan. When cooled, I mixed it with some water and some seaweed Serum, and the perfect self-tanning lotion came to be.

This Self-tanning lotion is without any chemicals, non-sticky, with a completely natural feeling. Depending on how long you let it burn in the saucepan can create even richer darker colors. When I first tried it, I applied several coats all over my face and body. That night before I got into the shower intending to go to bed, I looked in the mirror and thought I looked so good that maybe I would go out to a club. However, it was not until after I got out of the shower when I realized I had been wearing the bronzer lotion all day - and now I was pale again, so I might as well stay home.

How to make:
Put a bunch of Watercress in the bottom of a saucepan, with about one half cup (125 ml) of water. Cover and simmer slowly until cooked. Remove the watercress (to use for dinner) leaving the remaining liquid. Continue to simmer uncovered, reducing the liquid, until evaporated. When completely cool, drop some water onto the burnt remnants and mix well. Refrigerate. Mix with Serum and apply.

Recipe Ingredients:

• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) Seaweed Jelly
• Several drops of burned liquid from a bunch of steamed Watercress

Variations:
This self-tanning Serum makes a great face bronzer for a winter day.

Tips:
Keeps refrigerated for about a month, or frozen forever.
