Cleanser

You will notice that the different cleansers have different textures and consistencies. Some will be a tad

runnier, others firmer, and some that I call a “cleansing paste.” I love cleansing pastes. They are easy to use,

easy to store, and work wonders. Do remember when washing your face it should always be pre-moistened

with warm water. I cannot stress enough the importance of cleansing with warm, not hot, water for proper

skin health. With a paste it is even more important to make sure your skin is moistened, and you will add a

few drops of water to the paste to loosen it until it spreads easily in your palms, then you can smoothly

apply it to the face.

Almond cleanser

YIELD: ABOUT 4 OUNCES

TIME: 15 MINUTES NOT INCLUDING TIME TO MAKE THE TEA

GOOD FOR: DRY SKIN, DULL SKIN

The almonds in this cleanser are rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids,

which restore moisture. By using ground almonds, not only do you receive all

the beneficial properties of the almond, but also they act as a mild exfoliate.

⅛ cup licorice tea, prepared and cooled

¼ cup finely ground almonds

1 tablespoon goat milk or soymilk

½ tablespoon molasses

1. Add all ingredients to a mini chop or blender and blend well. You can use whole almonds and grind

them first, then add the rest of the ingredients, and blend again.

2. Transfer to a small airtight container.

Wash your face with a dime-size amount of cleanser. Rinse completely.

for later use. Fill an ice cube tray with a dollop of the product in each space and thaw one cube in the

refrigerator or on the countertop as needed.

USE: Daily, morning and night

ALLERGY ADJUSTMENT

If you have a nut allergy, replace the ground almonds with hemp flour.
