I love my clay masks! I discovered this clay mask a few years ago and I haven’t turned back since. I have always had problematic skin due to hormone issues for nearly twenty years. No matter how well I eat I still have problematic skin from time to time, so I reach for this lovely recipe and voila the acne seems to disappear over night. It is like magic!
I don’t think I have to tell you how amaze balls essential oils are (but I am :-)). So when you combine bentonite clay and essential oils you have an amazing concoction that will leave your skin feeling amazing!
Benefits of Ingredients
Bentonite Clay: Bentonite Clay is amazing for so many things, but for today we are focusing on the skin benefits. It is amazing for problematic skin such as Eczema, Dermatitis & Psoriasis. It can also help with acne and reduce the outbreak of blemishes, alleviate redness, and also fight allergic reactions.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple Cider Vinegar does so much for the skin. It can help aid in healing acne scars and prevent more acne outbreaks, as well as, absorb excess oil and reduce fine lines.
Frankincense Essential Oil: Frankincense Essential Oil does SO much, but the main thing I love it for is that it can reduce the appearance of skin imperfections. I mean it was fit for a King, so it is definitly fit for you my Queen! 🙂
Lavender Essential Oil: Lavender Essential Oil has the ability to soothe occasional skin irritations and it smells amazing too.
Melaleuca Essential Oil: Melaleuca Essential Oil is renowned for its cleansing and rejuvenating effect on the skin.
So you see, every ingredient has a purpose and does wonders for the skin!
