Clay Body Mask
October 19th, 2009
10 ounces kaolin (white) clay
enough water to form a paste
2 egg yolks
12 drops lemon essential oil
6 drops patchouli essential oil
lemon oil to remove impurities, patchouli oil to tone and soothe the skin
Measure out the clay in a glass bowl, add enough water to form a paste that has the consistency of yogurt. In another bowl, separate the eggs (save the egg whites for a face mask) and add the essential oils (use a wire whisk to blend). Add yolks to the clay mixture, and blend well. Smooth over your entire body (except for your face). Leave on for 20-30 minutes, then sponge off with warm water.
Follow this up with an aromatherapy bath suitable for your skin type and a good moisturizer.
