During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 this wonderful new product was created to appease my faithful customers who wanted to enhance their skin care regime with a spa type product the could enjoy while at home observing social distancing. Viola! Actually, I had been sitting on the idea of creating these clay masks for about a year but life just seemed to keep me busy and away from doing the work I needed to do to get this out there! Perhaps the universe was waiting to nudge me into making these three clay masks? I had all the ingredients ready! I had the idea on paper! I just needed an excuse to stay home and start mixing!
The basic recipe for all the masks is to mix 1 tablespoon of dry clay mix with 1 tablespoon of filtered water. Easy peasy. BUT, what if you wanted to take your facial mask experience up a few notches and mix up some kick ass formulations to make it EVEN BETTER? Ta da! I’ve included a bunch of different recipes for each of the clay masks that reflect ingredients for your specific skin type. Enjoy and please let me know what you think.
