DIY Face Mask using French Green Clay

Low-waste meets self-care. This DIY only takes a few minutes and a few ingredients.

French Green Clay is an amazing detoxifier that can absorb oil, remove dead skin from and help dry out acne. It's a natural clay that gets its green color from plant matter and iron oxide.

Choose your own French Green Clay self-care adventure:

• Weekly Treatment: Mix 1 Tbsp of Clay with 2 Tbsp of water
• For Dry Skin: Mix 1 Tbsp of Clay with 1 Tsp of Jojoba or another face oil. Add a few drops of water to help emulsify.
• For Acne-Prone Skin: Mix 1 Tbsp of Clay with 2 Tbsp of water and 1 Tsp of honey
• For Inflamed Skin: Mix 1 Tbsp of Clay with 2 Tbsp of Rose Water, Rose Hydrosol or Aloe Vera Juice
• For a Toner Treatment: Mix 1 Tbsp of Clay with 2 Tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar

Mix the green clay in slowly to avoid lumps and create a smoother face mask. If the consistency isn't quite right - add a little more clay or a little more of the liquid ingredient to balance. You can zhuzh it up with a drop of an essential oil as well.

Apply on clean, dry skin. Leave on until it is sticky and almost dry (approximately 10 minutes) and wash off with warm water. It's great to follow this up with your favorite moisturizer.
