Title: Refreshing Leg Gel
Categories: Lotion
Yield: 4 Ounces

1/2	c	Aloe vera gel
1 1/2	ts	Cornstarch
1	tb	Witch hazel
4	dr	Peppermint oil

This is a light, nongreasy, invigorating gel that is perfect for tired legs and feet. For extra cooling action, place this gel in the refrigerator before using.

Combine the aloe vera, cornstarch and witch hazel in a heat-resistant container. Warm the mixture until you have a clear, thick liquid about the consistency of honey (you can do this in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds for 1 to 2 minutes on High, or in a double boiler on the stove top).

After the mixture has cooled, add the peppermint oil and stir thoroughly. Pour into an airtight container. Massage this lotion into your legs and feet for an instant, cooling pick-me-up.
