1 organic avocado, scoop ripe flesh into a bowl
1 organic banana
1 stick organic sweet butter, softened
1/3 teaspoon lavender essential oil (usually found in health food stores or on the internet)
1/4 cup organic whipping cream

Thoroughly steam bathroom with you in it (this gets your skin ready and opens pores). While bathroom is steaming, you can lay the blanket (old) on the floor and lay the towels over it. If you chose to use a small pillow, place it at one end and cover with a towel.

Once you begin to perspire, you can turn water off and begin massaging the organic body butter all over the body, including the face (stay away from eyes and open wounds). Pat special attention to dry areas like feet, hands, knees, and elbows.

Lie on towels and wrap blanket around you. Take a 15 to 20 minute nap this way, allowing the organic body butter to infuse your skin with essential moisture.
