They should be used raw, never toasted, baked or salted.
Almond Flour
To prepare half a cup of almond flour in a blender, small food processor or coffee grinder, grind (in pulses of 5 to 10 seconds) approximately 50 to 75 raw medium to large almonds until they have the consistency of finely grated parmesan cheese.
Be careful not to over-grind them. Due to their high fat content, it is very easy to unintentionally end up with almond butter, especially if you are using a small grinder that generates a lot of heat.
Sunflower Seed Flour
To make half a cup of sunflower seed flour in a blender, small food processor or coffee grinder, grind between two-thirds and three-quarters of a cup of peeled, good-sized sunflower seeds until they have the consistency of finely grated parmesan cheese.
Oat Flour
To make half a cup of oat flour in a blender, small food processor or coffee grinder, grind between three-quarters of a cup and one cup of oatmeal flakes until they acquire the consistency of medium-thick flour.
Almond Flour Cleansing Exfoliant
This is a very basic and easy exfoliant to prepare.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons of almond flour
Purified water (for oily skin), milk (for normal skin) or cream (for dry skin)
Application method:
In a small bowl, mix the almond flour with enough water (for oily skin), milk (for normal skin) or cream (for dry skin) to form a paste suitable for spreading. Let the mixture thicken for one minute.
Using your fingers, spread over damp face and throat, and massage gently for one minute. Rinse.
Creamy Cleansing Exfoliant
If you use this exfoliant frequently, your skin will acquire a shine. This exfoliant is very hydrating and moisturizing, and can also function as a moisturizing mask.
Ingredients:
1/4 small, ripe, peeled peach
1 tablespoon of light or whipping cream (or 2 tablespoons of cream if you can’t get the peach)
1 tablespoon of ground oat flour
1 tablespoon of chamomile flowers in powder
1 tablespoon of sunflower seed flour
Application method
Using a mortar and pestle, or a small bowl and a fork, crush the peach until it is pureed. Mix all the ingredients with the peach to form a creamy paste. If it is too thin, add more ground oats; if it is too thick, add more cream. Let it thicken for one minute.
Using your fingers, massage the exfoliant over the face, throat and upper chest (optional). Leave the mixture on your face for about five minutes. Rinse.
It may be a little liquid, so to use it as a mask, put on a shower cap or wrap your hair in a towel.
Silky Soft Oat Cleansing Exfoliant and Mask
This is a perfect and multi-purpose basic cosmetic. It can be left on the skin for twenty minutes to dry as a mask on all skin types. It can also be used in larger quantities as an effective soap-free cleanser for the face and entire body. And it can be used as an extremely gentle exfoliant.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of oat flour, which can be very finely ground
1 hydrosol of your choice or purified water
Application method
In a small bowl, combine the oat flour, more or less finely ground, with enough liquid to form a smooth, spreadable paste. Let the mixture thicken for one minute. Add more liquid if the mixture is too thick or more flour if it is too thin.
Using your fingers, massage the face, throat and upper chest.
