Good morning! Things have been very busy for me lately as I'm trying to get all my new products completed, labeled, photographed and up on my Etsy shop! I also just found out I was accepted into an artisan fair next month (my very first one)! So that should keep me very busy these next few weeks!
If you're wondering what's new in my shop...well I'll tell ya =)

This cleanser is great for removing dirt, oils and grime from your face and promoting a bright and healthy complexion. Here's the ingredients & why you'll love them:
RICE FLOUR is a wonderful cleansing grain because it's gentle enough to not disturb the protective coating of your skin while still removing dead skin cells, polishing, soothing and nourishing your face. OLIVE OIL is a great emollient oil for most skin types and is full of nutrients that your skin loves & needs- using oil is one of the best ways to cleanse your delicate skin. LIME JUICE is what will give your skin that extra wake up call- with it's antioxidant and astringent properties it helps kill bacteria on your skin, as well as brightening & toning your face. CHAMOMILE is a wonderful calming and anti-inflammatory herb that has been used for medicinal & skin healing purposes for centuries. Adding this ingredient will help liven up tired & dull skin, diminish puffy eyes and aid in healing acne scars.
:: WHAT YOU'LL NEED ::
(this makes about 2 applications)
(this makes about 2 applications)
- 1 TBSP Brown Rice Flour like Bob's Red Mill
- 1 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil (preferably cold pressed + organic)
- 1 tsp Fresh lime juice (optional)
- 1-2 tsp Chamomile flowers- freshly ground or powdered (optional)
:: DIRECTIONS ::
- In a small, ok very small, bowl mix together rice flour and chamomile flower powder (if using)
- Drop in olive oil and stir
- Squeeze fresh lime juice (if using) and mix well again
- It's ready to be used!
- Sometimes I'll make enough to last me a couple days and just leave it in the fridge. It does harden when it gets that cold, so I'll take it out about 20 minutes before I'm going to use it so it has time to liquify again.
:: TO USE ::
- Dampen face with warm water or cloth to open pores
- Spread cleansing mixture onto fingers and gently massage in upward motions into face and neck
- Do this for about a minute to loosen dirt and grime from pores
- Rinse face with wet cloth or cool water
- Follow up with a toner (to remove excess oil) and moisturizer
- Enjoy the glow!
Isn't it so wonderful & rewarding when you know that everything you're using on your skin comes from the earth?
Until next time. xoxo
