Combine 1 part clay (e.g. Bloom* Aromatherapy French Green Clay or Bentonite Clay) to 1 part liquid (e.g. Lavender Hydrosol, purified water, kefir, apple cider vinegar, fruit or vegetable juice, or another liquid of your choice) and mix. You can also add in other healthy skin ingredients such as honey, yogurt, and ripe avocado. Stir in more liquid or clay to achieve the consistency you like.
For each tablespoon of the mud mixture, stir in 3-4 drops of the essential oil for the type of mask you are making (e.g. Chamomile for an acne treatment mask or our Naturally Beautifying Proprietary Essential Oil Blend for a gentle beauty mask) and mix well.
Apply the mud mask to your face and/or body, leave on for 10-20 minutes, and rinse. Your skin will be cleansed and toned, feel soft and supple, and look radiant!
(Note: You can get the French Green Clay and Proprietary Essential Oil Blend in the Bloom* Aromatherapy Naturally Beautifying Mud Mask Kit.)
Bloom* Aromatherapy After-Sun Spray
This 100% natural spray
can be used in several ways: as a light after-sun moisturizer, insect
bite itch reliever, and sunburn relief.
Place the
ingredients in a 2-oz spray bottle and blend by gently
rolling the bottle between your hands. Do not shake. The 2-oz spray
bottle is the perfect size to carry with you whenever you head out into
the sun.
With this one spray, not only do you save
money from buying three different products, you also save yourself from
the chemicals in commercial, off-the-shelf products.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp raw honey
1 tbsp French green clay or rose clay
2 drops lavender or rose otto essential oil (optional)
Water to thin as needed
Directions:
Wash face and leave slightly damp. Apply mask all over face, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Gently pat dry.
Note:
Instead of using water to thin the mask mixture, try the Lavender Hydrosol if you include lavender essential oil or Rose Hydrosol if you include the rose otto essential oil, so you can enhance the beautifying effects of the mask.
