Homemade Bentonite Facial Clay Mask
Experience the advantages of a natural, homemade bentonite clay facial mask that cleanses and rejuvenates your skin
Materials
- 1 Tbsp Bentonite Clay
- 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Honey
Instructions
- Start by measuring 1 tablespoon of bentonite clay and placing it into a non-metal bowl. Bentonite clay is renowned for its detoxifying properties, making it ideal for extracting impurities from the skin.
- Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the clay. If your skin is sensitive or if you prefer a milder mask, you can substitute water instead. The vinegar will react with the clay, creating a fizzing effect. This reaction is normal and indicates that the mask is being activated.
- Add 1 tablespoon of honey and mix it thoroughly.
Notes
**Applying the Mask**
Using clean fingers or a brush, apply an even layer of the mask to your face, taking care to avoid the eye and mouth areas. Allow the mask to sit for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it begins to dry.**Rinsing Off**
Once the mask has dried, gently rinse it off with warm water. Pat your face dry with a soft towel, and then follow up with your favorite moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.Tips for Best Results
- Frequency: Use the mask once a week for optimal results. Overuse can lead to skin dryness.
- Patch Test: Always perform a patch test to ensure no allergic reaction occurs.
- Storage: If you have leftover mask mixture, store it in an airtight container for up to a week.
