Notes
To Use
Apply a thin, even layer to the face and neck. Leave the mask on for 3–5 minutes to allow it to work its magic! Avoid the eyes and the inside of the nose and ears.
Rinse off with warm water.
Notes
- Apply the mask in a thin layer on your face. If it's too thick, the clay will get clumpy and crumbly as it dries. You may need to add more water to make it thin enough to spread.
- It's always a good idea to perform a patch test before using a new product on your face. Apply a little bit of clay face mask to your inner arm and watch for adverse reactions before applying it to the face.
- Bentonite clay absorbs unwanted substances, but it also absorbs water, so it can dehydrate your skin a little. To avoid over drying, apply it just a few times a week at first and always follow up with a moisturizer.
