Ingredients
1 tablespoon organic liquid honey
1 tablespoon of sweet almond oil
2 drops of Bergamot oil
2 drops of lavender oil
1 tablespoon of facial clay
Filtered water (as needed)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the honey and sweet almond oil. Stir with a metal spoon until smooth.
- Add the essential oils, and keep stirring.
- Slowly add the face clay in small amounts while stirring to maintain a smooth consistency.
- If necessary, add filtered water, a teaspoon at a time, to achieve a smooth but firm consistency that can be smeared on the skin without being too thin or runny.
- Apply the mask to the face with a spoon or fingers, one teaspoonful at a time, starting at the center and working toward the hairline.
- Leave the mask on until it dries – normally about 20 minutes.
- To remove the mask, soften it by lightly pressing a damp, warm cloth against the face. Then use the cloth to remove the mask and rinse if necessary.
- Rinse the face with water and dry with a clean cloth to remove any clay residue.
