Howdy! I just wanna preface this by saying this is what works for my skin. Feel free to adjust the ratios or sub in different grains, clays, or herbs to suit your face better. Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions!

Also, if I do end up making this for my store, you can rest assured that I'll be making it under more controlled circumstances. I just wanted to be AeStHeTiC for this video and not use gloves n' shit.

Materials Needed:
Oats (1 part) - alternate: sub 1 part colloidal oatmeal
Barley (1 part)
Brown Rice (1 part) - alternate: sub 1 part rice flour
French Green Clay (1 part)
Dried Lavender Buds (1/4 part)
Food Processor (a mortar and pestle also work, but take hours)
Mesh Strainer
Bowl
Container
Funnel

Directions:
Grind hardest grains (brown rice and barley) in food processor for a few minutes
Pour contents of food processor into mesh strainer positioned over a bowl and tap strainer against palm to sift out the fine grains
Set aside the larger grains that don't or won't grind down. (They're still edible, so why not eat them instead of throwing them away?)
Process the oats until they reach a powder consistency with some grit
Add the clay, the lavender, and sifted powder to the food processor and grind until there are no large or sharp chunks in a fine powder with some grit.
Pour contents of food processor into storage container via funnel.

Shelf stable for about 6 - 9 months if stored away from moisture, light, and heat change (i.e. don't leave it open in your shower, should be stored in medicine cabinet or other form of closed storage preferable away from the bathroom)

Can be composted at the end of it's life if it doesn't get used all the way up
