As well as being a delicious flavouring for food, did you know that fresh rosemary has AMAZING health benefits to your hair and skin?

Rosemary can help with dry skin, itchy and blotchy skin as well as improve hair growth, and help to support thick, glossy hair.

And it's not just herbalists who will tell you this, it's backed by science too!

Do you have access to fresh rosemary and want to give it a try?

Pick some fresh rosemary twigs and give them a rinse with cold water. Take a clean jam jar and peel off the rosemary leaves and pack into the jar as tightly as you can. Top up with boiling water and put the lid on.

Store in a cool dark cupboard for a day or two, so the water absorbs all the medicinal benefits and scent of the rosemary. You can also add 3 or 4 drops of rosemary essential oil.

Use to splash on your face after cleansing, or use as a final rinse on your hair after conditioning.

You can even freeze it to use at a later date.

Like any new skin and hair care products, do a patch test and wait 24 hours before you use it, to make sure you're not allergic.
