Homemade Deep Pore Cleansing Clay Mask

Homemade Deep Pore Cleansing Clay Mask made with Young Living essential oils

High price masks and pore strips? Not for me! This homemade mask is super cheap and works better than anything I've ever used. The bottle is about $7.50 and makes about 15 facials (plus the cost of your essential oils). That is only 50 cents per facial! Feel free to use whatever essential oils that you'd like to support your skin.

You will need:

  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar {Amazon link}
  • 2 Tablespoons bentonite clay {Amazon link}
  • 1-2 drops each of tea tree, frankincense & rosemary essential oils (Young Living brand)

Instructions

Mix together ingredients in a non-metal bowl using a non-metal utensil. Stir the mixture well to a smooth paste. Add more clay or liquid as needed. Apply 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch to the face or other area. Let it dry for 5-10 minutes for delicate skin and 15-20 minutes for normal skin. You will feel a pulling and tightening sensation.

Remove the clay by washing with warm water. Slight redness of the skin is normal and will disappear in about 30 minutes. The clay mask removes impurities and dirt for the pores. Your skin will feel amazing when you are finished!
