Try this recipe for a luxe face mask that takes just a few minutes to make and offers a calming, soothing, and hydrating experience for your skin.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Weigh the clays in a separate bowl from the rest of the ingredients. Try to be accurate with the weights, as it will ensure your mask is the best consistency.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. Then add the clay to the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Make sure there are no lumps.<\/p>\n

    3. Then: apply! Avoid the lip and eye area, as the skin is more sensitive in these areas.<\/p>\n

    You can keep the mask in the fridge for a day or two, but it\u2019s recommended to let it come back to room temperature before you apply.<\/p>\n

    Leave it for 20 minutes while you relax, then rinse off with warm water. Use once a week for a real treat that results in glowing, fresh skin!<\/p>\n
