1½ Ounces wholemeal organic soy flour

½ ounce sweet almond flour

½ ounce orris root powder

½ ounce powdered oats or oat flour

Combine the base ingredients in a glass container and mix well. You may add up to 1 ounce of clay to the face-pack base, selecting the type appropriate for your skin, or add 1 teaspoon to the amount used in an individual recipe if you do not wish to use clay every time you use the packs. Some people find clays too drying for their skin with regular use, but a once-a-month treatment provides extra-deep cleansing when necessary.
