Foaming Facial Scrub

This powdered scrub is great for dry skin and all natural. Keep the completed blend in a watertight container in your bathroom, where you can mix just enough into a rich, foaming cream as you need it.

• 6 tablespoons oatmeal
• 6 tablespoons non-fat dry milk
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon citric acid powder (look in the spice aisle)
• 6 drops geranium essential oil
• 6 drops rose essential blend (3% in a base)
• 2 drops frankincense oil

Place all dry ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until a fine powder results. Add the oils and mix well.

To use, place approximately 1 teaspoon of the powder in a small cup, and add 10-20 drops of water. The mixture will foam as you stir it and create a thick foaming cream-exfoliant. Apply to face and neck in a circular motion, avoiding the eyes. You can leave it on for several minutes before rinsing for added softening benefits. Rinse will with warm water.
