Instructions


Make Dried Herb After Bath Powder








1. Sift together the cornstarch, rice powder and pulverized lavender. You can catch the mixture on a large piece of wax paper.


2. Pour the powder into an airtight container. It is important that the powder remains dry or it will form a large, hard cake.








3. Seal the powder and the rose petals in the container for 2 weeks. The roses will scent the powder without overwhelming the lavender's fragrance.


4. Sift out the rose petals. This will further mix up the powder. You can save the petals or throw them away at this time.


5. Store your herbal after bath powder in a plastic shaker. You should apply it after drying off from your bath. If you prefer, you can leave the powder in the airtight container and apply it by hand or with a powder puff.
