On this page, we have included five simple face masks that

we thought you may find of use:

 Normal skin mask
 Dry skin mask
 Oily skin mask
 Problem skin mask
 Rejuvenating skin mask

Although clay masks are thought to be drying, they contain great benefits for the skin, and can be
used very successfully in your beauty routine.

Green clay has become the talk of the beauty world, but if it is not available in your area, you can
still use the old dependable white kaolin powder.

As a base you can mix either green clay or kaolin powder (reconstituted with either floral water
such as rosewater or pure distilled water) together with a little cornflower and a quarter teaspoon
of powdered raw oats.

Before applying the mask, make sure that the skin is cleansed properly and dried by patting it
with a towel.

After applying any of the masks, leave on for at least 15 minutes while relaxing, and wash off
with tepid (lukewarm) water and pat the skin dry. Apply moisturizer.

Normal skin mask

For a normal skin, mix the clay/kaolin, cornflower and oats together with one beaten egg white
and floral water. Add 1 drop geranium oil and 1 drop neroli oil. Mix well to form a paste and
apply.

Dry skin mask

For a dry skin, mix the clay/kaolin, cornflower and oats together with one beaten egg white and
floral water. Add 1 teaspoon wheatgerm oil or evening primrose oil plus 1 drop camomile
(Roman or German) oil and 2 drops carrot seed oil. Mix well to form a paste and apply.

Oily skin mask

For an oily skin, mix the clay/kaolin, cornflower and oats together with one beaten egg white and
floral water. Add 1 drop lavender oil and 1 drop frankincense oil or juniper berry oil. Mix well to
form a paste and apply.
Problem skin mask
For a problem skin, mix the clay/kaolin, cornflower and oats together with one beaten egg white
and floral water. Add 1 drop lavender oil, 1 drop tea tree oil and 1 drop neroli oil. Mix well to
form a paste and apply.

Rejuvenating skin mask

For a problem skin, mix the clay/kaolin, cornflower and oats together with one beaten egg white
and floral water. Add 1 teaspoon jojoba oil, 1 drop camomile oil, 1 drop frankincense oil and 1
drop myrrh oil. Mix well to form a paste and apply.

If you have never used essential oils, and are prone to allergies, we suggest that you perform a
skin patch test before using any of them.
