Cleansing Grains

So I got Rosemary Gladstar's herbal book because of a recommendation from a few friends of mine. I loved the lotion recipe and decided to try out the "cleansing grains". I thought it was going to just be a scrub, but turns out it's a scrub and a moisturizer that absolutely ROCKS! Seriously, how have I never tried this before and why is it not the hottest thing on the market? So, I mix this powdery stuff with water to form a paste. Then I scrub my face and neck (usually in the shower). I use my regular facial moisturizer when I get out of the shower. 

My skin is, no joke, so freakin' soft and moisturized right now. I LOVE it!

Here's the recipe (if you're lucky, you may get some from me for X-mas):

1 cup finely ground oats
2 cups white clay powder
1/4 cup finely ground almonds
1/8 cup finely ground rose petals*
1/8 cup finely ground lavender flowers

Grind until smooth, but leave a little bit of grit.  I used my magic bullet.

Voila!

* So I didn't have the rose petals.  I substituted a few clover flowers instead.
