tips on making clay masks

tip 1
Select a clay or combination of clays to suit your skin type.
tip 2
Adding Australian crystal-ion will give a creamier texture to your mask, and enhance the drawing action of the clay. Plus it will assist with easier removal of the mask once it has dried. Add at up to 50/50 with you chosen clay.
tip 3
Using hydrosol or infused water instead of purified water will enhance the therapeutic benefits of the mask. Choose one to match your skin type.
