All purpose scrub.
It's in a dry form, so you don't have to worry about it going bad or spoiling. You will need a nut or seed grinder, or a coffee grinder, to make this recipe. If you use a coffee grinder, make sure you wash it out thoroughly, or else all the herbs and grains will smell like coffee.
• 1/4 cup ground oatmeal
• 1/4 cup ground raw sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup ground raw almonds
• 1/4 cup white cosmetic clay
• 1/2 teaspoon dried peppermint
• a dash of powdered cinnamon.
This makes approximately 1 cup. You can keep it in a Ziploc plastic bag for up to one year. It will not spoil as long as you keep moisture out of the bag. To use as a facial scrub, mix 1 tablespoon of dry mixture with 1 tablespoon of water, if you have oily skin, or 1 tablespoon of milk if you have normal skin, or 1 tablespoon of heavy cream if you have very dry skin. Stir thoroughly until a paste forms. Apply to your skin, face, and throat in circular motions and let stand for one minute. If you want to use this as a mask, just let the paste remain on your skin for 20 minutes, until dry. Rinse with warm water and follow with moisturizer if needed.
