We want to ensure that there is a flow of taking in what the skin needs and still being able to eliminate what is not needed like toxins.

Here are some options that work well for the face and are non-invasive:

• Oatmeal is fine, gentle and makes a great paste.

• Sugars that are fine or can be mortar and pesteled for a finer texture can also provide alot of nutrients.

• Bromelain powder has great anti-inflammatory properties and can support reducing puffiness and redness.

• Clays like green clay and red clay are effective when removing impurities from the pores.

Salts, nut shells are better for dry rough patches on the body but are typically to harsh for the skin.
