Elle Is For Living!: April 2018

It is sad to me how many people are sick and told by their Doctor’s they either have to do extreme things or that there is no hope and they just have to accept living like this for the rest of their lives.

SUPPLEMENTS I TOOK To detox: http://bit.do/ebzJE - I took 3 tablets before bed To Heal the Gut: http://bit.do/ebyHV - I took 1 x 3 times a day (if out of stock so try these: http://bit.do/edUoV ) For the AutoImmune: http://bit.do/ebyH3 - I took 2 x 3 times a day

After one phone call with my Functional Dr and two days after starting on the above 3 herbal supplements, I was back to 85% of my health through nothing but herbal supplements and diet. Food is the answer! I want to put the word out so that everyone knows not to give up hope. You can get your health back! I wish you good health. xoxo

You can halve or double any recipe as desired - 4 different ways to mix it below so scroll down

Ingredients - plus distilled water
DIY Vitamin C (I have been using this for FIVE YEARS and have so much left. I make a fresh batch whenever I need it.
INGREDIENTS
Vitamin C https://amzn.to/2Xu6hJ7
Hyaluronic Acid https://amzn.to/2U98dEZ
Glycerin https://amzn.to/36WoaDP
Funnel https://amzn.to/2zO3wcV
Amber Glass Bottles https://amzn.to/3gSILxp (I use the other bottles for oils, or rebottling larger clumsy bottles of things)

If you put the glycerin in first, it may mix either. I find it is runny unless I use the hyaluronic acid (which I love!). I hope that you enjoy.

DIY Vitamin C

5% solution
1/8 tsp Ascorbic acid powder
1 7/8 tsp water
1/2 tsp Glycerin

10% solution
1/4 tsp Ascorbic acid powder
1 3/4 tsp water
1/2 tsp Glycerin

15% solution
3/8 tsp Ascorbic acid powder
1 5/8 tsp water
1/2 tsp Glycerin

20% solution
1/2 tsp Ascorbic acid powder
1 1/2 tsp water
1/2 tsp Glycerin

Directions
1) Add Vitamin C, Water. Glycerin to a CLEAN and DRY 1 oz. Amber Glass Treatment Bottle.
2) SHAKE vigorously. Set it aside while you go do something else. Come back later and shake it some more. Do this until there is no powder left. If there are a few crystals left at the bottom, this is okay. They will dissolve. If there are A LOT of crystals left and you’ve been shaking a while, you may not have added enough liquid.

NOTE: Glycerin is optional. BUT if you left out glycerin, you MUST add water for that portion of the recipe or the concentration will be too high and the crystals may not dissolve properly.

Hyaluronic Acid Serum

You can make a large batch of this recipe and store it in the refrigerator. Small amounts of this BASE can then be taken from the batch and powders can be added directly to that smaller portion. This method (See Combo recipe below) is a faster way to make your weekly serums.

1/4 tsp Glycerin
1/4 tsp Hyaluronic Acid Powder
1 oz distilled water

This mixture can last in the fridge for up to a month so feel free to double as desired.

How to use this serum base:
-Use as a serum in the morning and evening (just as it is) before applying facial moisturizer/
-Add serum base to shampoo and/or conditioner for added hydration in your hair!
-Use as a BASE SERUM RECIPE and add vitamins, peptides, etc., to create your own personalized serum.
-Mix a SMALL amount of the BASE SERUM RECIPE with some hydrosol and add to Moisturizer Cream

Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid Serum Combo

There are two methods to making this serum.
Method 1: put it all together from scratch.
Method 2 use THE BASE SERUM RECIPE above

Method 1 Combination Serum with 20% Vitamin C.
Makes 1 oz. of serum. This may be too much for most people to use up within 5-14 days. If you prefer this method and don’t want to throw a bunch away at the end of the week, put it ALL OVER you body to use it up faster or cut in half or use Method 2 below.

1/4 tsp Hyaluronic Acid Powder
1 1/2 tsp Vitamin C Powder (L-Ascorbic Acid)
1/4 tsp Glycerin
1 1/2 tsp Distilled water

Directions:
In a tinted glass bottle, add powders, then glycerin then water. Shake well. Shake well again 4 hours later.

This mixture should be discarded as soon as it beings to oxidize (turn yellow). Go by the color but it is usually around 2 weeks for me (storing in a dark cool location)

Method 2 Combination Serum with 5%-20% Vitamin C
Prepare the recipe for Hyaluronic Acid Serum base (recipe above). The prepared Hyaluronic Acid Serum will be the total liquid part of your recipe. Take small amounts of this each week and put the vitamin C powder into it to prepare the combination serum. You can make as much Hyaluronic Acid Serum as you will use for one month and keep it stored in the refrigerator.

Choose the recipe below for the concentration of Vitamin C you wish to prepare.
Combination Serum with 5% Vitamin C
1/8 tsp Ascorbic acid powder
2 3/8 tsp Hyaluronic Acid Stock Solution

Combination Serum with 10% Vitamin C
1/4 tsp Ascorbic acid powder
2 1/4 tsp Hyaluronic Acid Stock Solution

Combination Serum with 15% Vitamin C
3/8 tsp Ascorbic acid powder
2 1/8 tsp Hyaluronic Acid Stock Solution

Combination Serum with 20% Vitamin C
1/2 tsp Ascorbic acid powder
2 tsp Hyaluronic Acid Stock Solution

Directions:
1) Place the Hyaluronic Acid Stock Solution into a 1 oz. Amber Bottle
2.) Add the Vitamin C powder.
3.) Using the stem of your bottle stir the powder into the gel.
4.) Cap the bottle and SHAKE vigorously to dissolve the powder.

Sometimes it takes a few minutes longer for the Vitamin C powder to dissolve into the gel vs. in plain water, because the gel is a little thicker. You can let this solution sit and shake it once in a while until it’s dissolved. -Product can be used immediately on the face or anywhere on the body where benefits are desired. This mixture should be discarded after 5-14 days or when it begins to oxidize (turn yellow).
