I love bread cleanser from Lush. I had made a version with lavender while ago. Then with the return of the fall I wanted a purifying and toning to give a little pep to my skin in the morning. But not only, I wanted a practical product, hence its usefulness in cleansing or mask. Here is my recipe.

3 cs almond powder (gentle exfoliator)
2 cm vegetable glycerine (mild moisturizer)
2 cs clay depending on your skin type (purifying and toning)*
1/2 cc of cranberry powder or green tea (antioxidant)
1 cs hydrosol cistus (regenerating)
10 ET drops petitgrain (revitalizing)
7 ET drops rosewood (bracing)
1/2 cc bamboo fiber (exfoliant)
0.6% Ecogard (conservative)

Difficulty : star greystar3 greystar3greystar3 ––Conservation : 3 weeks —–Capacity : 90 ml

Mix the ground almonds, clay and powdered cranberries. To this mixture add glycerine and hydrosol. When the whole forms a nice firm dough add your essential oils, Your Conservative and bamboo fiber while kneading the dough well with a spoon. To use it you just take a little nutty and mixing in water, apply on your face and massage gently.

You can use this cleaner for a mask once a week. Take a small knob in your hand, mixed with a little water. Apply the paste on face and let stand about 10 minutes and rinse.

This mask is perfect for all skin types, as mature qu'acnéique ! Keep your bun in a cool well sterilized jar and sealed.

* Here I put purple and green clay… d’où la couleur un peu étrange 😀

The raw materials are almost all in Aromazone and conservative in Bilby & Co.

Je suis une inconditionnelle de Lush depuis plus de 10 years. J’adore leur recettes, spécifiquement leur pâtes nettoyantes. J’ai vue aussi que beaucoup d’autre blogueuse en était aussi fan. Voici donc ma petite version pour les peaux mixtes avec de petite imperfections !

3 cs almond powder (gentle exfoliator)
2 cm vegetable glycerine (mild moisturizer)
1 cs argile blanche (Purifying)
1 cs argile violette (healthy glow)
1/2 cc calamine *facultatif* (healing)
1 cs eau de source
10 ET drops lavender (regenerating & healing)
7 gouttes he palmarosa (healing)
1 cs fleur de lavandes séchées
0.6% Ecogard * (conservative)

Mix the ground almonds, les deux argiles et la poudre de calamine. A ce mélange ajouter la glycérine et l’eau.

To use it you just take a little nutty and mixing in water, apply on your face and massage gently. La peau reste douce et bien nettoyé.

1 cs crushed oats (calming)
1 cc almond powder (gentle exfoliator)
1 cc liquid honey (humectant)
2 cs purple clay (pink or white suits also)
1/2 cc hv argan (feeding)
1 goutte he camomille (calming)
2 ET drops clementine (optional)
some chamomile hydrosol

camomille avoine argan

Mix all dry and add the liquid ingredients gradually ingredients to form a nice dough. Apply on face and leave on for 10 minutes. This mask is a real smooth, is nothing better for irritated skin as oats and chamomile. Do not keep this mask, is made for single use.
