YIELDS: about 1 pint
⁄ cup maca powder
⁄ cup coconut flour
⁄ cup kaolin clay
⁄ cup fine granulated sugar
1 tablespoon raw cocoa/cacao powder
What you will need: face mask, pint-size canning jar with lid, spice jar
with sifter cap optional
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. 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
