The recipe is from " The Herbal Home Spa " by Greta Breedlove.

It has oatmeal,oat bran,almonds, clay, poppy seeds and herbs

in it. I have already made it, so I don't know if freezing it will

effect it in any way. What do you think?

Here is the complete recipe if anyone is interested. My husband

& I tryed it and it's really nice.

Avena Facial Grains by G. Breedlove

1/2 c oatmeal

1/4 c oat bran

3 T almonds

1/2 c white clay ( I used 1/4c green,

1/4c multani mitti )

2 T poppy seeds

2 T dry herbs ( I used rose,calendula &

lemon balm )

1. Grind oatmeal & oat bran, leaving some grit.

2. Grind almonds and strain, leaving some grit.

3. Grind herbs

4. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, using

a wire whisk to mix.

5. package in jars

To use:

1. Combine 1 to 2 tsp with water, milk or

yogurt and mix into a paste.

2. Apply to face, rubbing gently in a circular

motion.

3. Rinse with warm water.

When thinking of freezing something to preserve it look at the items in an

individual manner and then together. The items will all freeze and preserve

separately and should do fine together since it is a dry batch item you

shouldn't have any separation or anything. I would double bag it or put in a

container and the container in a freezer bag for preservation. Actually it

should work just fine and when you are in a Christmas rush all you have to do

is take out of freezer and package up for gifts. I think you just saved

yourself with some Christmas stress!!!!!!! I always make cookies and stuff

like that for a few friends and I buy flour, nuts, sugar and the likes and

package in such a way to save money when the time comes to bake. Same theory

should apply. Hope this helps.

Thanks ne,

That's what I'm hoping for. I work in retail mgmt. and so

I need to do all the X-mas things I can now! It's all I can do

just to find time to eat and sleep during the X-mas rush.

Thanks again,
