Clay & Baking Soda Anti Aging Face Mask Recipe

by

INGREDIENTS:

    • 2 tablespoons bentonite clay or fuller’s earth (Multani mitti)
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 tablespoon rose water or plain water
    • 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel (optional for soothing hydration)
    • ½ teaspoon honey (optional for added moisture and antibacterial benefits)
    • A few drops of lemon juice (optional for brightening and vitamin C boost)

INSTRUCTIONS:

    1. Prepare the Clay Base: In a non-metallic bowl (clay reacts with metal), add the bentonite clay or fuller’s earth. These clays are rich in minerals and known for their ability to absorb toxins, tighten skin, and improve circulation.
    2. Add Baking Soda: Stir in the baking soda. This ingredient acts as a mild exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. It also balances pH and can soften rough patches.
    3. Hydrate the Mixture: Add rose water or plain water gradually, stirring until you achieve a smooth, spreadable paste. Rose water adds a gentle fragrance and toning effect, while plain water keeps it neutral.
