Orange Geranium French Clay Body Mask

This is a fantastically fragrant blend of delicious ingredients that will bring a smile to your face while removing excess dirt and build-up from the surface of your skin.

Ingredients:

5 ounces white clay (kaolin)

5 ounces French green clay

1/2 ounce honey

6 ounces distilled water

10 drops sweet orange essential oil

5 drops geranium essential oil

Blending Procedure:

Combine the white and green clays in a bowl and stir to mix fully.
   
Set aside.

In a heat proof bowl, warm the distilled water in the microwave. Do not boil the water; make it warm to the touch.

Add the honey to the water and stir well to combine. Add the honey water to the clay a little at a time, mixing between each addition until a smooth and spreadable paste is formed. If the mixture is too dry after adding all of the honey water, add more water and stir to incorporate. If the mixture is too wet and runny after adding all of the honey water, add more clay and stir to incorporate.

Add the essential oils and stir well to combine. To use, place an old sheet or plastic bags together on a carpeted floor. Sit down and apply the mask to clean, damp skin. Relax for 15-20 minutes so the clay can exercise its drawing powers. Rinse well in the shower and follow with the moisturizer of your choice.
