Face Mask

A beautiful combination of organic oats and natural NZ bentonite clay

This ‘finish at home’ mask has all the dry ingredients ready for you to combine with liquid when ready to use.

Instructions:

Using plastic, wood, or glass, mix 2 teaspoons of the dry mask with 3/4 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and 3/4 teaspoon of water (adjust as necessary to form a thick paste). The apple cider vinegar will also help the bentonite clay mix better. You may also like to add either or both lavender & tea tree essential oils & swap the water for herbal tea (see details below). Using your fingers or a small rubber spatula, spread the max evenly over your face, avoiding the eye area and lips. This will be enough to do your whole face.

Leave on for 5 to 20 minutes. As it dries your skin will begin to feel sort of tingly and it might feel tight, especially when you smile. Rinse off with warm water or in the shower. Don’t be alarmed if your skin is red after washing it off. It will fade after a few minutes.

Important things to know

• Don’t let the bentonite clay come into contact with metal. It will start to pull toxins from the metal and won’t be as effective on your skin.
• Take care when washing it off in the sink. It is after all made with mud (aka clay). Make sure you run hot water to flush out your drains after washing it off to avoid a clog.

Bentonite clay: has been used for thousands of years to remove impurities on the skin. It is believed to work by pulling toxins, chemicals, and even heavy metals from the skin. The clay also helps provide oxygen to cells and has an alkalizing effect. Bentonite clay is rich in beneficial minerals such as: iron, magnesium, silica, and calcium. Bentonite clay's adsorbent power may be helpful in treating acne breakouts and oily skin. The clay can help remove sebum, or oil, from the skin's surface, and it may also have a calming effect on inflamed breakouts. When mixed together with healing and antibacterial ingredients, the clay creates a mask that can safely and effectively be used for maintaining healthy skin.

Oats: contains anti-inflammatory properties and saponins, a cleansing agent, making oats perfect for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Tea Tree Essential Oil: Known for its antiseptic properties, tea tree essential oil has been used for everything from treating acne to dandruff.

Lavender Essential Oil: Known for its soothing effect on skin, it can reduce inflammation and lessen redness and irritation. Full of antioxidants, Lavender can help fight free radicals (one of the reasons we get wrinkles!).

Apple cider vinegar: Helps balance your skins PH levels, which reduces natural sebum (oil) production to prevent acne while clarifying and brightening skin tone. If you don't have any ACV on hand, you can just use water or any of the tea's noted below.

For acne prone/oily skin: replace water with Rooibos tea

For dry skin: replace water with Chamomile tea

For aging skin: replace water with Green, Black, or White tea
