Clay masks work wonders on the skin by soaking out excess oils and
toxins and unclogging, clarifying, and refining pores for porcelain-soft
skin. This recipe is designed so that you can make and store the dry
portion ahead of time, mixing up a single-use fresh mask as desired by
adding a little rosewater to make a spreadable paste. This mask is
beneficial for oily, combination, normal, sensitive, congested, and acne prone skin types.
YIELDS: 1 cup dry mask
⁄ cup green clay
⁄ cup kaolin clay
⁄ cup powdered milk (full-fat dairy, soy, or coconut)
Rosewater.
1. To Make: Before you begin, find a protective face mask, or tie a bandana to
cover your nose and mouth, to avoid breathing the powders. Place the dry
ingredients into the jar, place the lid on tightly, and shake to blend. Label
with contents and date and store for up to a year. Right before you’re ready
to use the mask, mix 2 teaspoons powdered mixture with rosewater in a
small bowl. Add the rosewater a little at a time, stirring to moisten all of the
powder until you reach the desired consistency.
2. To Store: Store the dry ingredients in an airtight container for up to one
year. Once the dry ingredients are blended with the rosewater, store in a
closed container in the refrigerator and use within 4 days.
3. To Use: To use, spread a thick layer of the mask onto clean skin. Leave on
skin 10–25 minutes and rinse off with warm water. Sensitive skin types
