I've just made my first batch of DIY DrH CC. I used more almonds than in carekates original recipe, so added more of the rest of the ingredients. However, it still seems a bit too crumbly as opposed to a thick paste. Haven't actually used it yet, will try it tomorrow. Will it be ok when mixed with water? Or do I need to add more to it? I added lemon, tea tree and ylang ylang EO, rosewater, witch hazel, grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, castor oil and extra virgin olive oil. I realise all these ingrediaents aren't in the original recipe but I was just trying to get it to stick! Any suggestions? Also, do you use the 'press and roll' technique like with the original cc? Thanks in advance!

The reason why it is crumbly may be it is too dry rather than needing more binding agents. Try adding some hydrosol and mixing, it should develop a pasty consistency. Otherwise add some finely ground oat to the hydrosol mixture, it should create a similar consistency to the CC.
