Ingredients
2 tbsp – Very finely ground almonds

2. Mix in honey and lemon juice.
3. Lightly scrub face with mixture on your finger tips and then wash off with warm water.
Your face will be clean and soft! Keep remaining scrub in a jar with a lid and store in a cool dry place, ready for next time.

Ingredients
3 tbsp – Sea salt
1/2 cup – Almond oil
Water
Method
1. Place the sea salt into a bowl then add the almond oil.

But be careful, do NOT shave anywhere before or straight after using the scrub, as it might sting!
