  • When all of the powders have been added, give the powders a good stir to make sure they are all combined. Once the powders are combined the SCI powder should be weighed down so there's less soapy powder dust.

Tips

  • You can make your own oat flour. Simply blend plain rolled oats in a clean, dry blender or coffee grinder to a very fine powder, then sift to remove any larger bits remaining.
  • Adding a small amount of powdered mica to match the chosen scent can give a quick interesting look.
  • Use different clays to target different skin types.
  • You can make this a mini face mask. Just leave the creamy paste on for 1–2 minutes before rinsing. The kaolin and oats get a little more time to calm and balance the skin.
