1/4 cup raw almonds

Chop raw almonds in a spice grinder or food processor until they are a fine meal.

Add remaining ingredients and blend well until mixture is a soft granular powder.

To use each morning, put half a tablespoon of this mixture in your palm and add just a couple of drops of water.

Rub hands together to make a paste. Gently rub and massage it onto damp skin in circular motions to exfoliate. Wash off with warm water and a warm, damp washcloth; end with a splash of cold. Keep the scrub in a well-sealed glass jar and it will stay fresh for months.
