The dew in May has always been the Witch's beauty secret. An old Cornish proverb associated with the May solar festival of Beltane says: "The fair maid who, on the first of May, goes to the fields at break of day, and bathes in dew from the hawthorn tree, will ever strong and handsome be." On a Thursday evening during a waxing Moon, take a small bowl outdoors and place on the grass. Anoint the rim with vanilla or ginseng and make a statement of your desire to enhance your looks. On Friday morning—Venus' day, the planet ruling personal appearance—use your hands to bathe your face in the collected dew. Bathe other visible parts of your body with any remaining water. Be sure to visualize clearly the outcome you desire as often as you can from the time you first touch the bowl until the spell is done.

BELTAINE BEAUTY SPELL
On Beltaine Eve, set out a pretty bowl in your yard. If you forget to, don't worry, you can collect the dew directly from the grass with your hands.
Say the following while washing your face with the morning dew, as the sun is peeking over the horizon:
"Blessed dew of Beltaine morn, Help my face be less care worn, Brows unfurrowed, wrinkles smoothed, Crow's feet from my eyes removed. My face a reminder of this Beltaine Day, Beautiful and fair in every way; Hear my words, this spell to last 'Till another Beltain comes to pass, -And, As My Will, So Mote It Be!"
