Instructions

How to Make an Herbal After Bath Powder

1. Place the sifter on top of a piece of wax paper. The piece of wax paper should be about twice as wide as the sifter.

2. Pour the baking soda, crushed lavender, powdered arrowroot and cornstarch into the sifter. Do not worry about mixing them together.

3. 

   Sift the powders onto the wax paper. They will mix together as you sift them.

4. Hold the ends of the wax paper together to form a funnel. This will cause the bath powder to collect in the middle.

5. Pour the bath powder into the plastic shaker. You can use this bath powder after a shower to help your skin stay smooth and dry. The lavender will make you smell sweet and can even help keep your mind clear and fight depression.
