Foodie Facial....Your gonna love it...and so will your face!


I love the fact that my blog not only conspires to address the gluten-free food issue, but the foodie facial issue as well.  I love natural products and I'm often found creating another concoction related to beauty one way or another... If you want a natural face wash, try this at home.  ***Do not use if allergic to nuts!
Almond Yogurt Moisturizing Facial Wash
1 Tbsp. Blanched Almond Flour
1 tsp. (2 tsp. for a drier complextion), Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. Mountain High Original Style Yogurt (Plain with 3.25% milkfat).  + 2 tsp. of the liquid in the yogurt.
(Keep Refrigerated)
Mix in a baby food jar.  Take a small portion about 2 tsp. and gently massage in a circular fashion on your face and neck, and lips... Use enough to cover face, like a regular wash.  Massage for approx. 60 seconds.  You will feel the Almond flour begin to exfoliate your skin.  The yogurt helps your skin maintain a proper ph level, and the olive oil is a wonderful moisturizer.  Remove with a damp cloth.  As a final rinse, splash cool water over your face and gently pat your face dry.  If extra moisture is needed.  Take a drop or two of the olive oil and massage into fingertips, pat fingertips on face and gently stroke in an upward motion.  Your skin will look svelt and beautiful.  I did this this morning and was pleasantly surprised.
