Using DIY clay facial masks is a great way to cleanse pores, remove impurities and provide a polished glow. Plus, they’re really fun to mix up and use.
What’s great about dry powder clay masks is that, unlike prepared masks, you can customize them to your skin type and skin condition as the seasons and your skin changes. Plus, dry masks that you prepare freshly yourself also don’t need to be preserved, so you can skip the unwanted additives.
HOW TO DO IT
Consider what you want out of your clay mask. Whether you have dry, oily, or sensitive skin you can formulate a custom mask to reach your skincare goals. Or you can make a simple mask with no special purpose except to exfoliate and cleanse, by just mixing with water alone.
The first step is to activate your dry powder clay mask with water. Use only enough water to make a paste, not too thick or thin. After the mask is hydrated with water, then you can add other beneficial ingredients.
Here are some different ingredients you can experiment with followed by a few of my favorite DIY mask recipes to try.

RECIPES TO TRY FOR VARIOUS SKIN TYPES
Combine the ingredients and mix well until you have a paste. Apply your mask to clean skin and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse off (easiest way is in the shower!) and follow with a spritz of hydrosol mixed with a drop or two of Facial Serum.
