Sodium Bentonite Clay Relaxing Mask
1 part Bentonite clay
3 parts water
4-5 drops chamomile oil or lavender oil
In a small container with a screw-on lid, add the water and clay. Shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes, then let sit for 15 minutes. Next, add the oil, and shake again. Apply to face with fingers or body brush. Sit back and relax for 10-15 minutes while the mask does its work. Rinse with warm water and follow with moisturizer of choice.
Hi, Alisha,
Thanks for the recipe. I would add one thing: make you are buying sodium bentonite clay and not calcium bentonite clay. Sodium kind is for external use (masks, baths, etc.) while the calcium one is used for internal purposes (cleanse, regularity, etc.). By all ingredients, this seems like an excellent mask.
Thanks again,
