Ingredients

Phase A (Active Hydro Phase)
2 tbsp (30 mL / 30g) Almond Milk
Phase B (Exfoliant / Humectant)
1 tbsp (15 mL / 21g) Raw Honey
1 tsp (3g) Finely Ground Oats

Method & application

Whisk ground oats and raw honey together in a small bowl.
Add almond milk and whisk into a uniform paste.
APPLICATION
Paint onto clean skin using a mask brush. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse off thoroughly with warm water.

Kitchen note

Grind the oats fresh for the smoothest spreadability, same as throughout this book, pre-ground oat flour works but a fresh grind noticeably improves texture.
