Some time ago I bought (god knows what for!) some poppy seeds, fullers earth and kelp powder. Having a sort out of drawers today I came across them and am wondering what I can do with them :confused:

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know! There is about 50g of poppy seeds and fullers earth and about half as much kelp powder. Thanks!

    If you have oiliy skin you can make a face pack by adding witch hazel to the fullers earth. Mix to a paste and smooth over allow to dry then rise off.

    Sea kelp is ment to be taken orally to help hair growth ( not sure if this is what you have)

    Poopy seeds no ideas for beauty tretments how about using them in baking something?

    I love poppy seeds ground up - mix with some icing sugar to taste and then toss over hot taglietelle or macaroni for a desert. It was my fav childhood dish!

    Def would recommend fullers earth for a face pack, its great either mixed in with water or cold milk!
    No one said it was gonna be easy!
