French Green Clay combined with either of these highly anti-inflammatory essential oils is very healing for sensitive, cystic acne conditions. It aids in removing impurities and toxins from beneath the surface of the skin. This mask is the preferred method of exfoliation due to its gentleness. It can also be used as an overnight blemish treatment. Simply dab a little on with a q-tip and leave while you sleep. The clay absorbs excess oil overnight and aids in the healing of blemishes.
- 1 Tablespoon French Green Clay, finely ground
- pure aloe vera juice
- 2 drops German chamomile or helichrysum essential oil
In a small bowl, use a wisk or a spoon to combine the clay with enough aloe vera juice to form a smooth, spreadable paste. Stir in the essential oil.
APPLICATION TIPS: Use fingers, spread paste onto the face and neck and allow to dry completely fpr 20-30 minutes. The mask will seemingly lift and tighten the skin. Rinse with cool water and pat dry.
