Breakfast Yogurt Scrub

20 g of brewer’s yeast in powder or tablets

2 teaspoons plain organic yogurt

2 teaspoons almond meal

1 teaspoon Manuka honey

Yield:

5 ounces

1. Grind the tablets of brewer’s yeast (if using tablet form) in a mortar.


2. Add remaining ingredients and mix together. Use the scrub immediately, and do not store in
   the refrigerator.

White for Sake Scrub

1 organic green tea bag

5 grams white willow bark extract

1 cup rice bran or baby rice flakes

½ cup oatmeal

Juice of 1 ripe papaya

5 drops of grapefruit oil

Optional: 2 tablespoons sake

Yield:

4 ounces

1. Steep a green tea bag in ½ cup of boiling water for 10 minutes.
