Notes
Mix 2 teaspoons of the scrub with 1 1/2 tsp water or milk (or honey) and gently massage over the face; rinse. As a mask: add liquid to a thick paste, leave on 10-20 minutes, rinse with warm water. Keep the dry mix closed and dry and mix only one use at a time. Safety: patch test; salt and baking soda can be harsh on sensitive or broken skin, so use a light touch and avoid the eyes; honey is not for babies under 1 year.
