MIX |
Place 1 teaspoon of mask powder in a bowl. |
Add 1-2 teaspoons of wetting ingredients of your choice. |
You could use simple water or add floral waters, or your favourite fruit and vegetable pulps (e.g. avocado, banana, cucumber puree), or dairy products (yoghurt), or honey. |
To ensure the overall pH of the final product is appropriate vinegar and citrus should not be used. |
Mix together all ingredients thoroughly. You can adjust the ratio to achieve the desired consistency. |
The mask should be thick enough to spread evenly but not too thick that it's difficult to apply. |
APPLY |
Clean your skin to remove makeup and debris. |
Steam your skin with a hot, damp towel to open pores. |
Using a face mask brush or spatula, apply the mask to your cleansed face and neck, avoiding the eyes and lips. |
Leave the mask on for 5-10 minutes, without letting it dry out completely (follow the 3 phases of a clay mask). |
Soften the mask with a warm, damp towel, then gently wipe it off using the towel. |
Rinse your face thoroughly and follow up with your favourite toner and moisturiser. |
THE 3 PHASES OF THE CLAY MASK |
Phase 1: Clay mask feeds your skin important ingredients. |
Phase 2: Clay mask begins to tighten, which draws out impurities in the skin and increases blood flow. |
Phase 3: Clay mask dries out. (AVOID THIS PHASE) When the mask dries completely, it strips your skin of good nutrients and oils. |
TIPS |
Our dry masks ensure a longer shelf life without the use of harsh preservatives. Ensure your hands or utensils are clean and dry when measuring the clay from the container. |
Refrain from using metal tools or bowls when mixing your mask, as some clays may react with metal, compromising their effectiveness. |
Prepare the mask immediately before application. Avoid storing any mixed product. |
Be cautious, as certain clays and botanical extract can stain fabrics and may stain surfaces. |
For external use only. Do not let the product come into contact with your eyes. |
FREQUENCY |
Using a clay mask once or twice a week is generally recommended, but this can vary depending on your skin type and specific needs. |
If you have sensitive or dry skin, you may want to limit usage to once a week or less. Always monitor your skin's response and adjust frequency accordingly. |
Conduct a patch test before applying the product to your entire face before beginning any new skincare routine, especially if you have known skin conditions or allergies. |
