China Clay Mask
(a deep cleansing mask)
3 teaspoons White Kaolin Clay
1/2 teaspoon Bentonite
1/2 teaspoon Glycerin
5 teaspoons Water or Hydrosol
2 drops of rose geranium essential oil
Mix the powders well. Add the glycerin and water/hydrosol. Add the essential oil last. Stir and apply to your face in a circular motion. Allow the mask to dry and then rinse off with warm water.

Soothing China Clay Mask
(a gentle, soothing mask is a treat for those who have sensitive skin)
1/4 cup colloidal oatmeal fine
3 Tablespoons china clay
2 Tablespoons lavender flowers
2 Tablespoons chamomile flowers
One or more of the following wetting agents: honey, floral water, herbal tea, water
Powder the dry ingredients well. Place a few tablespoons of the mix in a small bowl. Add wetting agent to make a paste. Apply to face and allow drying for ten to twenty minutes. Rinse with warm water. Store remaining mixture in airtight container. For super sensitive skin, herbs can be left out or lessened.

French Green Clay Facial Mask
(for acne prone skin)
4 Tablespoons French Green Clay
5 dried bay leaves
1 cup distilled water
Boil one cup of water and add bay leaves. Slowly add the liquid to the clay to form a fairly thick paste. Apply to face and allow drying. Leave on 15 to 20 minutes then rinse with warm water


Banana Face Mask For Oily Skin

Bananas are a common household fruit, which makes this recipe a simple one to put together. You can even use those overripe bananas. Just pop them in the freezer and thaw before you need.

You will need:

1 banana (medium to ripe)

2 tbsp of honey (can use processed or unprocessed)

3 lemon juice drops

Puree the banana then add the honey and mix thoroughly. Add 3 lemon drops (concentrate is fine). Apply the mixture to your face and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water and a washcloth.

Clay Face Mask For All Skin Types

Clay masks are excellent for drawing out impurities from the skin.

You will need:

3 tsp green clay (can get from beauty shops)

3 tbsp aloe vera gel

2 tbsp rosewater (with real essence)

4 drops rose essential oil

Add the aloe vera gel, rosewater, and rose essential oil to your green clay. Mix thoroughly. You can refrigerate up to a month. Apply a thin layer to your face and leave on 15 minutes. If it is not completely dry by 15 minutes leave on until it is. Gently wash off and then apply your favorite moisturizer. Enjoy the refreshing feeling of your skin.

Yogurt Face Mask For Dry Skin Types

This is a cooling and soothing mask that's excellent for dry skin types but it's great for all skin types and excellent for sunburned skin.

You will need:

2 tbsp of non flavored natural yogurt at room temperature. Make sure it is "not" low fat.

2 tsp of honey. If it is the hard type, heat gently until soft.

Mix the ingredients together and apply to your face. Leave on for 20 minutes. Wash your face with a steamy washcloth. If you have oily skin just add a couple of drops of lemon.
