A new recipe, but it's not food!

I had a facial last week - this woman is amazing - I'm not certain if she is really, really good or if I am a glutton for punishment! After 3 hours of cleaning, massaging, masking, and poking (ouch), she closed my pores (my genetic background provides me with large ones) with ice, but not just any ice! And she insists I use this formula at home. I did make it once - but at home I'm not in the mood to run up and down my stairs to the freezer each time I clean my face. Here, in the apartment, it's a lot shorter distance to the kitchen.....

Bring to a boil 1 bunch of parsley in 5 cups of water; turn the heat down for a moment, bring it a boil once more and turn off the heat. Add 1 handful of daisies; 1 bunch of peppers (I have no idea what kind of peppers); 1 bunch of 'ada cay' - a Turkish tea. Let this cool. Add the juice of 3 lemons. Then strain it finely. Add a cup of daisy oil; 1/2 cup of lemon oil; 1/2 pepper; 1/4 cup rose oil.

Freeze in tubs the size of margarine tubs, but don't fill all the way as you will need to take it out; turn it over; use it from the bottom where the oil has settled. Just wipe it over your face after cleaning - it is incredibly refreshing; makes your skin soft; closes those large pores. And forget the Peppers! And if anyone does this, please let me know how it works for you! Maybe I should patent this before publishing - oh, well.
