Pomegranate Fusion Face Scrub

I am in LOVE with my new Pomegranate Fusion Face Scrub!! I don't care if I am tootin' my own horn on this one, because it is pretty darn' tootin' AWESOME!!! I discovered the magic of castor sugar a few weeks ago and realized that because the crystals are so super fine and tiny that it makes a very gentle and effective sugar for making face scrubs.  I also added in some pomegranate powder from Navitas Naturals.  This antioxidant rich pomegranate powder is made from the whole pomegranate fruit and contains a diversity of vitamins and minerals and is rich in protective polyphenols.  I tossed in a pinch of warming ground cinnamon to help with circulation.  Another magic ingredient is Dragon's Blood (Sangre de Drago).  It is not actually the blood of a dragon, but is dark red tree sap from Croton lechleri trees in the Amazonian rainforests of Peru.  I like to use it in skin care recipes as it is astringent and can help to dry blemishes and promote healing.

Pomegranate Fusion Face Scrub

1 tablespoon pomegranate powder
4 tablespoons castor sugar
2 teaspoons Kaolin clay
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons almond oil
2 tablespoons castor oil
1 teaspoon Manuka honey
2 droppers (80 drops) Dragon's Blood

I bought my Caster Sugar from Whole Foods, but you can order from India Tree at www.indiatree.com 

 I use pomegranate powder in my smoothies and also put it into my Sugared Pomegranate Lip Polish that I made last year. You can order it online from Navitas Naturals at www.navitasnaturals.com 

 I like to use organic Manuka honey, but any all-natural pure honey will be just fine.

I like Herb Pharm's Dragon's Blood and you can find it at your local nutrition and health food store.

In a small bowl, measure out your pomegranate powder, castor sugar, kaolin clay and ground cinnamon.

Drizzle in the almond oil and castor oil. Mix well

Drizzle in the Manuka honey and stir well.

Add in the Dragon's Blood and give it one final stir to combine all the ingredients. Transfer to a small lidded container.

 To use: Moisten your clean face with a bit of warm water and massage a heaping teaspoon amount of the Pomegranate Fusion Face Scrub gently over your skin until the sugar crystals dissolve (You may need to add a tiny bit more of warm water to get the sugar crystals to dissolve). Allow the scrub to remain on your face for 5 minutes and then rinse off with warm water.  Do not use more than twice a week.  Avoid eyes, not for internal use. This mask can last for two weeks out of the fridge.
