Gentle Cleansing Grains for All Skin Types
Lordship Bean Facial & Bath Cleanser Powder
What’s wrong with using soap on your face?
Most facial washes are soap-based and strip the skin of its own beneficial oils. This can cause imbalances and underlying skin issues over time – dry skin gets drier and oily skin overcompensates by producing too much oil.
Cleansing grains and beans are suitable for all skin types and gentle enough for daily use. The simple blend of clay, beans, oats, and soothing botanicals will naturally cleanse, soothe, and soften skin. As you use cleansing beans, you’ll notice an improved tone and texture in your skin as they help retain the balance of moisture and gently exfoliate.
Facial Cleanser Powder for All Skin Types
Here is a rundown of the ingredients and their benefit/purpose in this facial cleanser:
Oats – Cleansing, soothing, moisturizing
Clay – Helps tighten skin, absorbs/removes toxins, smoothes skin
Almonds – Slight exfoliant, smoothes skin
Lavender Essential Oil – Lavender is the most versatile oil and perfect for any skin type, including dry, sensitive, acne prone, irritated and inflamed, or oily
To Use as a Daily Facial Cleanser
Combine about 1/2 – 1 teaspoon of cleansing beans in the palm of your hand with several drops of water – enough to make a thin paste. (Any water introduced into the jar will cause beans to go bad – this is why a shaker top is perfect. You can also dip into grains with a clean, dry wooden or plastic scoop to extend the shelf life.) Massage onto wet skin (avoiding eyes), then rinse with water.
To Use as a Weekly Mask
For a mask, mix a few teaspoons of cleansing beans with a little water – enough to make a thick paste. Massage onto skin and leave for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water before the mask dries on your face.
For an extra treat you can replace the water in this mask with pure aloe

Turmeric is both antiseptic and antibacterial, and has for many years been used both topically and internally for medical purposes. Honey is commonly used as a salve on open wounds, because when it comes into contact with body fluids it will slowly release hydrogen peroxide – this, in combination with its slight acidity, will kill bacteria and prevent infection. Turmeric also contains antioxidants, and is long believed to have many healing effects.
Nutmeg has long been used therapeutically to calm the mind and relax the body. Nutmeg oil has been used in aromatherapy to reduce headaches, clear the sinuses, and lighten a depressed mood. It is also thought to have antimicrobial properties.
Used in Europe skin care regimens for centuries, Lordship beans contain a natural foaming agent that helps cleanse pores by absorbing excess oils, removing dirt and dead skin cells, drawing out impurities and promoting circulation.
