>Homemade Clay Mask
You can get a great facial at home and it will only take you about 15 minutes. You probably have all the ingredients in your pantry.
This facial will help prevent wrinkles and make your skin smooth and clean. Family Circle magazine had some great at home spa ideas and I added a few of my own. Plus the only items you might have to buy are sea salt and fullers earth (clay for mask).
You can get sea salt at your local grocery store for less than two dollars. Look in the baking aisle or the health food aisle. There are some expensive brands but also some very reasonable brands.
Step 1 – Fill the bathroom skin with hot water. Drape a bath towel over your head – it helps concentrate the steam – and lean over the basin just enough so you feel the heat on your face. Do this for about five minutes to add moisture and help open pores. More at home spa ideas – add a few lemon peels or orange peels or rose petals if you have them to the water to add a nice scent or use your favorite essential oil.
Step 2 -Starting with the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) which is where blackheads most commonly occur, smooth on an exfoliating scrub in small, circular motions to help unclog pores. Extend the scrub outward to cheeks and down to the neck to refine all over.
One of my at home spa ideas is to use Cetaphil mixed with sea salt for an exfoliating scrub. Cetaphil is a very mild cleanser that does not require water to work. You can get the generic brand at any grocery store or drug store.
Step 3 Dab eye cream under eyes and around the corners of the mouth (it works on fine lines there too). Follow with a clay-based mask to draw out impurities: the eye cream keeps those delicate areas from getting dry or tight. Rinse after five minutes and follow with moisturizer.
Here is a recipe for a homemade clay mask – another one of my great at home spa ideas
Homemade Clay Mask
3 – 4 tablespoons whole milk
2 tablespoons clay (Green or French Clay also called Fullers Earth)
1 teaspoon honey
I know milk seems like an odd ingredient but the lactic acid in the milk (alpha hydroxy acid) helps slough off dead skin cells.The clay helps draw out impurities from your skin and the honey is a natural healer. Honey has high prophylactic properties that help to halt or control the aging process, and because of its high vitamin and potassium contents, it nourishes the skin, promotes moisture retention, prevents and erases wrinkles.
Instructions for Homemade Clay Mask
Mix the ingredients together adding more milk or water if the mask is too dry. Apply evenly to face (and neck if you want) avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 15 minutes or until dry and rinse off with warm water.
