cleansing grains-for faces

grind 1 large handful lavender and a hand of dried rose petals if you like (mostly it's grit and smells pretty)
mix in 1/2 cup oat flour
2 tb bentonite clay....
shake in a jar
for very oily skin or in summer you may like to add 4 tb of buttermilk powder. (baking aisle) or use yogurt/ buttermilk for the liquid you mix in.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ta da! 'cleansing grains'
with makeup...apply oil of choice(apricot(oily), coconut(dry), olive(average) to makeup area. remove with warm wet wash cloth rinsing until excess oil and crud are removed.

On makeup less skin....
mix 1-2 tb with water (most of the time),or  honey(dry/damaged/ broken out skin) or buttermilk (dull/oily skin) til it's a paste.
rub into face with hands. rinse thoroughly. splash with cool water or toner of choice. (rose water is nice) can also be worn longer 3-5 minutes as a mask.
Oats reduce swelling and have saponins so it does clean your skin pretty well and exfoliates. Since my other go to is goat milk bar soap (which does not exfoliate) I like it a lot.
