    I had a nice one once made from ground adzuki beans. I suppose if you have a coffee grinder or are very good with a pestle and mortar you could make it at home. You just needed a small amount, mix it in your hand with water, rub on then rinse off.

    Just don't do what I did - saw one on tv using olive oil and sugar or salt. Decided to do it one evening, mixed the ingrediants together and took it upstairs. Rubbing it briskly into my face, thought it smells strange this, .......I'd used the garlic flavour olive oil :-[
