The Detox Dynamo: Bentonite & Activated Charcoal Mask
When your skin needs a serious detox, reach for this powerhouse combo. Bentonite clay and activated charcoal work together to draw out impurities and excess oil, leaving your skin feeling super clean and refreshed. This is a pretty powerful combo, so don’t use this one more than once a week. I recommend Lavender Essential Oil, which is soothing to the skin.
- 2 Tbsp Bentonite Clay
- 1 tsp Activate Charcoal
- 2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2-3 drops Essential Oil of your choice (I like Tea Tree Oil for this one)
The Toner’s Delight: Apple Cider Vinegar & French Green Clay Mask
If your skin needs a pick-me-up, this mask is your new best friend. Apple cider vinegar helps balance your skin’s pH, while French green clay tightens those pores. The result? Smooth, toned, and glowing skin! This one is great for oily skin as French Green clay is known for it’s oil-absorbing powers.
- 1 Tbsp French Green Clay
- 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 tsp Water
- 2-3 drops Essential Oil of your choice (maybe this Chamomile?)
The Green Tea Reviver: Green Tea & Kaolin Clay Mask
When life gives you green tea, make a face mask! Green tea is packed with antioxidants that can soothe and rejuvenate your skin. Add in some kaolin clay for a gentle exfoliation, and you’ve got a recipe for radiant skin.
- 1 Tbsp Kaolin Clay
- 1 Tbsp Aloe Vera Gel
- 1-2 Tbsp prepared Green Tea
- 2-3 drops Lavender Essential Oil
The Oatmeal Honey Healer: Oatmeal & Honey Mask
Sometimes, your skin just needs a little TLC. Oatmeal is incredibly soothing, while honey is a natural humectant that locks in moisture. Together, they create a mask that’s perfect for sensitive or dry skin.
- 1/4 cup finely ground Oatmeal
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Coconut Oil
- 1-2 Tbsp Water

If you’re after that rosy, healthy complexion, look no further. Rose clay is gentle and calming, while aloe vera adds a touch of hydration. This mask is all about achieving that natural, radiant glow.
- 1 Tbsp Rose Clay
- 1/2 Tbsp Aloe Vera
- 1/2 Tbsp Water
Remember, it’s essential to do a patch test before trying any new mask to make sure your skin loves it as much as you do. And don’t forget to cleanse your face before applying any of these masks for the best results.
