DIY! Firming Homemade Facial Mask

It will do wonders for your skin! I found this must-share clay face mask recipe. Clay has amazing proprieties for the skin, and this is a really easy and inexpensive recipe.

"CHOOSE THE RIGHT CLAY:

Dry or Sensitive Skin:

White, pink or yellow kaolin clay

Oily Skin:

Bentonite, red or blue montmorillonite, French green, red kaolin or Moroccan rhassoul clay

All Skin Types:

Dead Sea clay

1. To start, add one tablespoon of water, green tea, or milk to a small bowl. Gradually add two tablespoons of fine clay powder to the liquid, stirring to prevent clumps. The result should be a smooth paste; if it's too thick or too runny, add a few drops of water or a little more clay to achieve the desired consistency.

2. Using your fingers, apply a thick layer of the paste to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eyes and lips. (For a more even application, use a clean one-inch paintbrush.) Sit back and relax while the mask dries, staying as still as possible so the clay doesn't crack and fall off.

3. After 10 to 12 minutes, rinse with warm water.

4. Pat dry with a fluffy towel and follow with a natural toner and a light moisturizer to soften and nourish skin throughout the day" (wholeliving.com).
