In reply to mary. The face redness is a sign of increased circulation. It should only last a few minutes. If it is too intense use less ACV and add a little water.

In reply to Siusan. This is what I am wondering, as well. Any word as to yea or nay?

In reply to Terry. Instead of the chamomile flowers can I substitute chamomile essential oil? If so how much?

How often is too often to use a bentonite clay mask? Also, if you have left over mask can you save it for later or is that not recommended? Thanks!

Hello! Love your “beauty” recipes! Any thoughts for substitutions for honey in the facial masks to make the recipes vegan-friendly? Thanks again for all the great info. 🙂

In reply to Katlin. Hi Kaitlin! I bought my first jar of Bentonite clay at the Better Health Store. It says it is 100% pure, and is used for facial detox. But it gets all clumpy on my skin, which I don't like. I've mixed it w/ACV (it wasn't raw), but I had an adverse side effect. I tried mixing it w/a small amount of water, but it got lumpy. So I tried mixing it w/safflower oil and sugar, to make a sugar scrub, but there were still tiny lumps. Do any of these recipes have potential? And what is the typical consistency?

In reply to diane. Diane, ACV had that effect on me, too! How did you resolve this?

I tried a clay facial once because I heard about wonderful detoxifying results. First, I used water, but it lumped up on my face. Then I tried using vinegar, per the instructions, but it made my face turn red. What did I do wrong? I love raw honey; will this prevent it from lumping up on my face? What about the chamomile and calendula? I have a lot of powdered clay left, and would like to use it.

Are you able to keep the mask in the fridge and not use it right away?

I notice most recipes are for individual use amounts— will this not keep if made ahead?

I have access to kaolin clay and would love to make my own mask but I’m a little nervous about any impurities in the clay. I have sensitive skin and suffer from exzema breakouts. Does it need to be treated in some way ie: bake it or maybe boil it to take out any lurking organisms? I may be way overthinking this but would hate the cure to be worse than the complaint!!

I just made a mud mask and was wondering if anyone else had used the ingredients I did.
Guava leaves, soaked
Amla Powder
Benonite clay
Lemon verbena flowers, ground
Rose water
Little lemon juice
Rosehip seed oil
Tamanu oil

It’s on my face right now. A little chunky but feels nice so far!

Is the leftover clay mix saveable/reusable, if so how? And for how long?

Hey! Love your life girl.
Do you have a facebook group? This is the 2nd time I have referred to your site for excellent results (the other was hot to distill rose water – worked wonders).

In reply to Greta. You could try a replacement or just omit and have a thinner mask.

Regarding the ‘Mud Mask Ingredients’
If I don’t want to use honey, what’s another alternative? maybe organic maple?

Thank you.

Ha! As I read this, I too have an Aztec clay mask on my face! I have had a terrible break out around my mouth and chin due to stress, hormones, and wearing a surgical mask for 6+ hours a day.
I love to use the Aztec Healing Clay with distilled water and a few drops of lavender essential oil; it’s very relaxing.
