Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 http://www.metromkt.net/viable/1almond.shtml If you find commercial soap products too drying for your face, check in your local health food store for facial soaps and cleansers derived from Almond (Prunus amygdalus). The kernel from the Almond plant provides us with one of the best face scrubs Mother Nature has to offer. It is also an excellent emollient. A recent study suggests that Almond oil may also help prevent heart disease. At the Health Research and Studies Center in Los Altos, California, Almond oil was shown to lower serum cholesterol levels in people who consumed it in place of saturated fat. According to this study, Almond oil was a more potent cholesterol-reducing agent than olive oil! Possible benefits are cleansers made from Almond help to remove excess oil and dirt from skin. Almond butter and oil can moisturize and soften skin, and Almond oil shows promise as a potent cholesterol reducer. Almond can also be used externally as either Almond meal or oil. A handful of Almond meal makes a great face scrub, and applying the Almond oil directly into rough areas helps moisturize and soften skin, particularly hands and heels of feet. ===== [...there'll be love and laughter, and peace ever after, just you wait and see... ---Vera Lynn] Read only the mail you want - Mail SpamGuard.

Just put half almonds and half rolled oats into the food processor and process till like fine crumbs. Keep in airtight container. You can then just use a little bit of the powder with a little water and mix in your hands to clean face, or, what I do is have a pump container with 1/4 Dr Bronners pure castille liquid soap and 3/4 water and after putting the almond/oat grains into my hane I get a couple of squirts of the diluted soap and mix in my hands. Very simple and works well.
