This simple blend of soothing, moisturizing ingredients cleanses and
exfoliates even the most sensitive skin. Oats are widely regarded as an
ideal ingredient for sensitive and easily irritated skin because oatmeal
nourishes, moisturizes, and gently exfoliates the skin, absorbing excess oil and dirt.
YIELDS: 1 ⁄ cups
⁄ cup rose petal powder
⁄ cup oat flour
⁄ cup kaolin clay
⁄ cup powdered milk.
1. To Make: Before you begin, find a protective face mask, or tie a bandana to
cover your nose and mouth, to avoid breathing the powders. Carefully place
all of the powdered ingredients into the canning jar. You may want to
consider sifting the oat flour, as there are usually some larger pieces of oats
remaining, which can be a little rough on delicate facial skin. Close the lid
tightly and shake well to blend to a uniform powder. Let stand for 5 minutes
or so, letting the dust settle into the jar.
2. To Store: Store this dry facial scrub in a spice jar with a sifter cap. To fill
the jar, make a funnel by rolling up a piece of paper. Twist one end to open
wide enough to fit into the spice jar, and the other wider to funnel in the
powder. Tape it together and spoon the powder into the jar a little at time.
Once the jar is full, replace the sifter and cap, and this scrub is ready to use!
You can also store these in the pint jar or transfer to a smaller jar, using a
clean dry spoon to dispense the cleansing grains for each use. Keep the lid
tightly closed and store for up to a year.
3. To Use: To use, simply tap out a bit of the powder into the palm of your
hand and mix with water added a tiny bit at a time until a paste forms. Then
softly cleanse your face using small circular motions. Rinse with warm
Water and follow with toner moisturizer.
