Detox Mask

Instructions

Does your skin need a detox? This natural clay mask does double duty when it comes to purifying your skin.

Not only does the Kaolin clay draw out impurities and absorb excess oil; it also has a natural texture that serves to slough off dull, dead skin — leaving your skin glowing and smooth. The chamomile hydrosol, water produced by steaming and distilling chamomile, boasts incredible anti-inflammatory and revitalizing properties.

It’s easy to customize your facemask according to skin type and desired results. The bergamot and lavender in the mask soothe you and your skin, while offering a bonus antibacterial effect. However, you can mix-and-match any of your favorite essential oils.

Steps

1)Pour the clay into the small bowl. Add the water, hydrosol and essentials oils to the clay. Mix gently until the desired consistency is obtained. It should be a smooth and creamy paste — you want it spreadable but still with a bit of thickness so that it stays in place on your skin.

Note: Kaolin clay is a natural product and moisture levels will
vary. If after mixing the water and hydrosol with the clay, the consistency is too dry, continue to add additional liquid until you have reached your desired consistency.

2)To prepare your face for the mask, wash it and pat it dry. Bonus points if you steam open your pores first! That will allow the mask’s beneficial ingredients to go even deeper.

3)Use the mask immediately. Apply it all over your face, with the facemask brush. Take special care around the eyes and mouth. Set a timer for 10 minutes and voilà! Wash off the facemask with warm water and pat your skin dry. You look beautiful!

Note: You can substitute the rosehip oil for
sweet almond oil, whichever you prefer!.
