CLAY FACE MASK:

Masks (homemade or otherwise) should stay on for 10-15 minutes. Follow with a cleansing and a thin layer of moisturizer.

Ingredients:

• 1½ tsp green clay (French is preferred)
  
• ½ tsp kaolin clay
  
• 1½ tbsp aloe vera gel
  
• 1 tbsp rosewater
  
• 2 drops rose essential oil

Preparation:

Mix green and kaolin clays together.

Add in the aloe vera gel, rosewater and oils.

Refrigerate mixture for up to four weeks.

Banana Face Mask:

• 1 T Banana Fruit Extract

  
  

• 1 T Honey

  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon Jojoba oil

  
  

• 1 T Yogurt

  
  

• 1 egg white

  
  

• 1 T Kaolin (white) clay

  
  

In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg white, then blend in the Yogurt, Jojoba oil, Honey, Banana Extract, and then the Kaolin clay until it becomes a smooth creamy mixture.

The best way to use this masque is while sitting in the tub because it is a bit messy. Apply to the entire face, neck and shoulder area. As it sits, keep applying more while you build the masque up as well as massage it in. Let sit for at least 10-15 minutes and then remove with a warm washcloth. Finish with a tonic or hydrosol on a cotton ball to remove any excess product from the skin, then moisturize as usual.

This is a wonderful softening and firming treatment in one.
