Clay Masks

Homemade clay masks have been used for centuries to draw oils, dirt and toxins from the skin. The type of clay to use depends on the type of skin. Most clay can be purchased at a health food store or online.

White clay is very mild clay gentle enough for sensitive skin. It gently exfoliates and increases blood circulation to improve complexion.

Yellow clay is also mild and works great on sensitive skin. Unlike other clays, it does not pull oil from the pores, so it is the best clay for dry skin.

Rose clay exfoliates and increases blood circulation, making it a good clay for dry or normal skin types.

Green clay pulls toxins, dirt and oils from the skin, so it is best for oily skin. It has a high mineral content that soothes irritated skin and helps clear the complexion. Do not use this clay on sensitive or dry skin.

Clay Mask Recipe

1.Place one tablespoon clay in a plastic or glass bowl.

2. Add water a teaspoon at a time until the mask is looks like a thick yogurt. Adding too much water results in a thin mask that will not be as effective and take too long to dry.

3. Spread mask evenly over the face with your fingers. Use a circular motion with your fingertips to increase circulation. Avoid the delicate eye area and around the lips.

4. Let mask dry for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing with tepid water.
