How to make a Green Clay Facial Mask?
Add any liquids to the green clay powder and mix into a paste - liquids to use include floral water or hydrosol, yoghurt, aloe vera juice, jojoba oil, green tea.
If you have a dry or sensitive skin, only use a clay mask once per week as the clay draws out moisture from the skin along with the impurities.
