Part 1

• 2 T. almond meal or corn meal
• 3 T. yogurt or buttermilk

Mix this into a thin paste and gently rub in a circular motion. The lactic acid in the dairy product gently penetrates and dissolves deadcells as the grains of the almond or corn mealgently lifts them away. Wash off gently.

Part 2

• 2 T. of green clay
• 8T. aloe vera gel or juice
• 2 drops peppermint, rosemary or lemon essential oil

Mix these ingredients into a paste, adding more or less aloe vera as needed. Using your fingers or a small pastry brush, gently paint the mask on to the face, avoiding the eye area. Allow to dry about 10 minutes, wash off with warm water and apply Cowgirl Cream.
