This nourishing, anti-inflammatory facial scrub and mask is gentle enough for daily use. Rosemary, safe and peppermint are great astringents and they help rebalance oily, blemished skin.

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons organic wheat bran

2 tablespoons organic oatmeal

1 cup tablespoons olive oil marseille soap

2 teabags of peppermint tea

2 teabags of sage tea or 1 tablespoon dried sage

1 teabag of rosemary tea or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary twigs

Method:

Combine the cereals and add the liquid soap.

Grind herbs with pestle in mortar if necessary. Add to the mixture and whisk carefully. Continue stirring until thoroughly mixed. The mixture should be the consistency of heavy custard.

Store in airtight jar for up to three months.

How to Use:

To use, put one teaspoon in a palm of your hand, add a few drops of water or your favourite toner  or a flower distillate to form a soft paste and massage gently into the skin using small circular movements. Rinse off with cool water.
