As more people are becoming aware of the benefits of the time-honored
goji berry, there are more products sprouting up in the marketplace
incorporating goji in one way or the other. Most of the goji products
are taken internally, as goji is considered to be a very beneficial
food or nutrient, but others are using goji as a part of their beauty
treatments.
Many spas offer special facials and massages using goji berry cream
and goji oils. The beauty treatments are custom designed according
to the needs of the customer, and goji berry cream is used as a final
step in the treatment. These can be quite pricey, but many customers
feel that goji treatments are worth the extra money.
You can save money on goji berry cream by making your own. There
are goji berry tinctures available, and you can simply put a few drops
in your regular moisturizer and mix it together. Alternatively, you
can add goji juice to your homemade honey facials or add a few drops
to your hair treatment for your own goji berry cream conditioner.
You can also add goji berry tincture directly to your face and hair.
Some use the oil to smooth wrinkles or to soothe dry patches. Since
the goji berry is edible, it can be used as a lip balm to rejuvenate
dry, cracked lips.
Of course, an edible form of Goji berry cream, which is healthy in
spite of its extra calories, is goji berry ice cream. Simply stir
some sliced goji berries into your basic vanilla, or combine it with
other flavors, such as chocolate and pistachio. You might want to
make your own goji berry ice cream from a homemade ice cream maker,
or use the berries and some juice for a cool sorbet. The goji berry
is quite versatile and has many uses. Asians have known about goji’s
effects for centuries, but Westerners are now enjoying the benefits
of this red and beneficial fruit.
