I've been told to become an 'adept,' but everyday life doesn't change that fast.
It's a good idea to read, read, think and work, that's what an alchemist is.
That's what an alchemist does, it's just a matter of living each day honestly.
Change the story.
"And yet, it makes your skin crusty.
That's right.
When I whispered to myself, I suddenly noticed that my cheeks were flaky, and Myna, who was just beside me, agreed.
You can't help but feel your skin gets flaky in the winter. You can't help it,
Puffing and puffing, Myna rubbed her cheeks.
"Would you like me to make you a moisturizing lotion?
I chuckle and suggest to Meena.
'Really? I was having trouble with it, so I'm glad you made it!
I'll rent the galley for a bit later.
Saying this, he goes to the field with a colander. And pick a colander full of blooming "Pearl of the Elves" flowers.
This is a flower that I found in the village of the Elves of Light, and I've gone too far without using it. As I recall, if you distill it, you can make floral water with excellent moisturizing properties.
By the way, for some reason, Ariel's skin was glossy and pristine even in this environment, so it is not the subject of this. I'm not trying to be mean, she declined it herself, you know?
Pick lots of flowers and go back to the galley.
Why not use a distiller?
Because with a flask, you can only make a little bit at a time, and the entrance to the flask is narrow, so it's hard to get the flowers in and out. So, theoretically, you do distillation, but you use a "steamer" as a tool. You know, the one to make pudding and so on.
In the past alchemists have been women like me, of course, and then, of course, there are those who deepen their research in the field of beauty. Floral water, the distillation of flowers and herbs with medicinal properties, together with water. This is how to make a lotion, such as a female alchemist found in the past.
Fill the bottom of the steamer with plenty of water. Then place a plate with a hole in the steamer and place a triangular flask in the middle of it. Then scatter plenty of flowers around the triangular flask.
And it should have a semi-circular handle and a little bit of a roundness (height) towards the handle. Turn the lid of that steamer 'upside down' and put the lid on. Put plenty of ice on the lid to cool the steam.
Now you're ready to go.
Light the microwave and bring the water inside to a boil.
Then, if the water continues to evaporate for half a second or so, the floral water containing the aromatic components of the flowers will accumulate in the triangular flask!
Let it cool and then divide it between two pretty glass jars, one for me and one for Myna.
That's it! Easy, right?
[Elf Pearl Water]
Category: Cosmetics
Quality: High quality
Rare: A
Details: fine quality toner. Excellent for moisturizing and skin tightening.
Feeling: I'll give you plump cheeks!
And then there's ......, and then there's a lot of other additives, like honey for more moisturizing and disinfecting ingredients, and oil, but I think it's enough for our ten-year-old skin. And there are tiny amounts of oil in the floral water.
So I went to hand the bottle of lotion to Myna, who was taking a break after work.
Myna, your moisturizing lotion is ready. Yes, here's one for you.
Saying this, he holds out one of the bottles to Meena.
'Haha! It's a pretty jar! Can I try it right away?
Myna's eyes sparkle as she looks itchy and eager to use it.
Here you go. I'd like to share it with you. Shake the bottle well before you use it.
We both sit down facing each other and shake the bottle, then open its lid and place a single dose of lotion on our palms.
Then, they lightly blend it into their hands and gently press it to their faces.
Your chapped cheeks will feel chewy! And the smell of flowers ~
The tip of Myna's tail is also wagging, as if to express her happiness.
It's true. It's as if your hand is lightly attached to your cheek.
I'm amazed at its effectiveness.
It would be nice if other people could use it, too. Doesn't everyone seem to be in trouble in the winter?
I guess that's true.
I have a feeling that "Elf's Pearl Grass" can be propagated only in my field: ....... As I recall, roses also have moisturizing and astringent properties. If you want to call it 'for everyone' at ...... with a little botanical reference, it's Katya's turn.
As soon as I wrote to Katya, I asked her to discuss the commercialization of the lotion next time she comes to my studio and to bring some dried flowers for materials.
And a few days later.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it in the future.
It's a good idea to have a good time with them. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. I'm not going to be able to find fresh flowers, because it's winter now.
Then, using the steamer in the galley, I show Katya the amount of flowers I brought for the distillation process during this time. Then I ask her to try the resulting rose floral water.
'This smells so good, and it's so moisturizing! This would be a great way to make a lot of food at once if you make the pot big enough: ......, no, I think you could make a special distiller for it!
If you make a lot of them, you can probably get a good amount of essential oil, so you can make the essential oil separately.
Essential oil has other uses in essential oil. Or rather, this one is scarce and rare in quantity.
Daisy! Thanks for the great idea! I'll have the technician make a prototype of a distiller that will allow us to collect the essential oil and floral water separately!
I asked her to share the floral water she made today for her mother and sister at home, though I'll get the idea fee later.
I also asked her to let me buy one of the distillers when it's ready, because it would be fun to make homemade floral water.
And a few more days later.
"Dear Daisy. The lotion you gave me the other day made my overall skin feel better, but my lips tend to be rough. ......
Even the pretty tail has gone down in a huff.
I received such a consultation.
...... Come to think of it, when I was at my parents' house, I used to cure Kate's chapped skin with a cloth after straining a potion. After all, rough lips and chapped skin are rough skin, right?
So I got the potion bottle from the vault, opened the lid, spilled a little bit on the plate, and dipped my index finger into it.
Keep your lips closed and relax for a second.
Then, with a thump, I run my wet fingertips over Myna's lips a little at a time.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
...... I knew it!
Myna is in a panic that I let her use the potion in spite of me, and she's floundering around in a big hurry.
'Hey, Myna,'
"Ha, yes!
The potion cured that problem on my lips. So, I mixed a little bit of the potion with my regular lotion and it was ......
"Kids who suffer from skin irritation, ......, sensitive skin, or acne could be cured of that too!
That's right! And we both give each other high fives with both hands.
Our potion is a double-effects potion, so you should only need a little bit of it in your lotion. It's not something you can make too thick and use regularly. So that's why I'm making a prototype.
Then we asked two of us and one of our regulars from the bakery to be our testers to see how effective the "potion-containing lotion" was. The results were great. It is a good idea to use flowers as a base for people with sensitive skin, though, and each person may need to make adjustments.
Eventually, Katya succeeded in mass production of floral water, and skincare for the women of King's Landing became popular. In the meantime, our atelier began to secretly deal in "portioned" medicinal lotion.
