Here's my version of one of the Lush chains most popular facial cleansers, the Angels on Bare Skin Facial Scrub.
As the name suggests, the texture is very much like a cookie dough.
You take a pearl sized amount of the 'dough', and mix to a paste in the palm of your hand, before applying to the face and massaging well. This will leave your face as soft as .... a Cherubs Cheek!
Soft-as-a-Cherubs-Cheek Cookie Dough Face Scrub
All of my ingredients are readily available at supermarkets or health food stores.
4 tablespoons French White Clay powder (healing and calming)
4 tablespoons Ground Rice (also known as Rice Flour) (gentle exfoliating)
2 tablespoons Milk Powder (moisturising and soothing)
1 teaspoon Citric Acid (preservative and antioxidant)
2 teaspoons Vitamin E oil (antioxidant)
2 tablespoons strong Green Tea (antioxidant)...make the tea with one teabag and about an eighth of a cup of boiling water
2 teaspoons Salt (preservative and exfoliant)
3 tablespoons Glycerine (moisturising)
Several drops essential oils of choice (I used 6 drops each of Lemon, Peppermint and Lavender)
Botanicals such as unsprayed dried rose petals or lavender buds, crumbled (optional)
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl, using a teaspoon to form into a dough. Knead with scrupulously clean hands until well combined. Seal in foil, in a sealed container.
Use a spoon, tweezers or small tongs to remove tiny pearl sized amounts to mix with a small amount of water to a paste, and massage onto your dampened face for about 30 seconds. Rinse well.
Follow with your favourite moisturiser or my Facial Serum :)
Store sealed in foil and use within one month. Refrigerating it will prolong it's shelf life.
Lush in the true sense of the word!

Mimi, I have never heard of Cookie Dough Face Scrub. Mind you, we don't have a Lush outlet here but I think I have seen one in Brisbane. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeletethis looks and sounds so interesting Mimi. I love how you make all of these natural items and they are great idea for gift giving for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi, Happy New Year etc. I have read and enjoyed your blog for years. At the end of 2019, I went through the few blogs I have been reading for several years. They were becoming boring to me, same old same old really, I deleted them all from my favourites but kept yours, you always surprise me. Have learned so much. Are you still going to do your blog? I keep popping by but you haven’t posted for a couple of months. Hope you’re just having a little break, but if not thank you for your words of wisdom over the years. I still love the leather bunny bookmark you sent me and still make your poached chicken recipe every single week. So, thank you. With gratitude Fiona.
