Clay Mask Formulation and Product Details

Clay masks are popular for their ability to absorb excess oil, draw out impurities, and help tighten pores. They can also provide gentle exfoliation.

Here is a simple way to create a clay mask using Red Clay, Yellow Clay, or Green Clay:

Basic Clay Mask Recipe:

Mix the clay powder with a liquid of your choice (such as water, floral water, or a hydrosol) to form a smooth paste. A general starting ratio is 1 part clay to 1-1.5 parts liquid, but you can adjust this to achieve your desired consistency. Apply to clean skin, let it dry (but not completely hardened), and rinse off with warm water.
