Homemade Natural Makeup Recipe: Clay Blush

I just held a workshop where we discussed the many ingredients that are in our makeup today, emphasizing why natural homemade
makeup recipes are a great resource.

One of the frustrating problems is that the dangerous chemicals that are found within makeup are not our only source of toxins that we
encounter on a daily basis. Most women have on average 168 chemicals that they are exposed to, most of which are found within the blood
stream and gathered in locations such as lymph nodes, liver, and breast tissue. Men are slightly better, but still at risk with an exposure to an
average of 85 harsh chemicals per day. 1

It quickly becomes apparent that what’s on that makeup brush really does make a di�erence in your overall health. We have thresholds that
don’t like to be crossed. Many women have joint pain, headaches, hormonal problems, and unexplained fatigue that can largely be alleviated
just by a change in diet and chemical exposure.

To put this in perspective, think of just one toxin: parabens.

Parabens are used as a preservative in foods and cosmetics. They pose as estrogen in your blood stream.  Your body responds to this extra
estrogen, resulting in estrogen dominate symptoms like year round PMS, soreness, aches, pains, not to mention feeding estrogen responsive
breast cancer cells.

That’s just one ingredient. Paying attention to ingredients matters! Having a list of natural makeup recipes is frugal and a great resource.

Clay Blush Recipe

For a completely natural and healthy blush, I like to use rose clay to create a pink base, and then tint it toward red or purple using other
ingredients like alkanet root powder or orange Moroccan clay. It’s really that simple.

Find Rose Clay Here.

Pink Clay Blush:

1. Add 2 oz of rose clay to a 2oz container with a lid.
2. Want to make it a brighter pink, consider adding some beet root powder, 1/2 tsp at a time until the desired color is reached.
3. Or �nd it in my Shop.

Pink/Purple Clay Blush:

1. Add 1-1/2oz of rose clay to a 2 oz container with a lid.
2. Add 1/2 oz alkanet root powder or hibiscus powder, close the lid and shake well.

What is the shelf life of the clay blush? Thanks.

It’s clay so it can keep inde�nitely, but seeing that we introduce bacteria into products I wouldn’t keep longer
than a year.

Is it possible to turn this into a pressed powder with rubbing alcohol or something? Or would that mess up the clay?

I would de�nitely not put rubbing alcohol on my skin. You can use lotion base but its di�cult to get it where it
doesn’t streak.
