Which ever recipes you want to make first grind all of the ingredients together in a coffee grinder until finely powdered. Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh and dry.
To use, clean your face of any makeup or product. Splash your face with comfortably warm water to dampen your skin. Place 1 to 2
teaspoons (5 to 10 g) of cleansing grains in the palm of your hand and mix with warm water, or another liquid, such as coconut milk,
aloe liquid, hydrosol, yogurt or witch hazel, to form a paste.
Gently apply and rub over the skin on your face and throat. Rinse well with warm water and follow with a moisturizer, if desired. Cleansing grains can also be used as a face mask by leaving the mixture on your skin for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing off.
