Herbal Facial Scrub
2 tablespoons dried lavender petals
2 tablespoon dried rose petals
2 tablespoon dried chamomile flowers
1 cup oatmeal
1/3 cup uncooked brown rice
Place the flowers and oatmeal into a coffee grinder or small food processor and pulse to a medium fine consistency. Pour into a bowl. Grind the rice to a fine consistency. Mix together. Store in a container with a tight fitting lid.
To use: Place 2 tablespoons of the mixture into a muslin bag or a few layers of cheesecloth tied with string. Soak the bag in a little bit of warm water until the mixture is wet through. Scrub your face as you would with any facial treatment, rinsing with cool water and patting dry with a soft towel.
This mix is a great way to slough off dead, dry skin cells, leaving a radiant, glowing complexion. This recipe can also be used in a shower or bath as a full body scrub.
