Chef's Notes
Substitutions In place of almond meal try coffee grounds.
Use dried rose petals or dried mint leaves in place of lavender buds.
Instead of flowers or herbs to offer scent, consider using dried blueberry powder or grinding freeze-dried berries. Powdered berries can offer both a berry scent and antioxidant power.
Storage Store your DIY facial scrub at room temperature in a cool dark place for up to one month or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three months.
