When I was younger, I concocted face masks all the time! Roes hips, oatmeal, oils, salt scrubs, I made rose water toner! I loved creating natural remedies and using them in place of the store bought, chemical filled products and because the organic products are a bit pricey!
But if your natural foods store has clay you can do your own face masks right at home!
Green Clay is a deep cleansing and toning clay found naturally in the earth. It can be used on any skin type and is inexpensive and leaves your skin feeling smooth. I did a mask this week before a big meeting and used Amazing grass in it! The green super-foods such as chlorophyll are a strong detoxifier and have been known to counteract acne.
2 1/4 teaspoon green clay
1/2 teaspoon amazing grass
1 Tablespoon water
5 drops of rosemary essential oil
Mix and apply!
I applied the mask, careful to keep it away from my eyes and then let it dry. That took about 20-30 min. I like to crack the mask right before I rinse it off. Only because I like the way it feels, like I am inside an eggshell and busting out! Rinse with warm water and pat dry. I let it get some air for 10 or 15 min and then apply my usual moisturizer!
