After having my son, Mother Nature blessed me with cystic acne and regular skin break outs like a hormonal 14yr boy. After my first DIY Aztec clay mask, my skin felt soft, smooth, even glowy. And now I’m totally hooked.
WHAT IS AZTEC CLAY?
Clays have been used for centuries to beautify and refresh when used as a facial mask. Cleopatra used clay from the Nile river and the Arabian desert over 1800 years ago, as part of her beauty ritual. There are several types of clay but I like Bentonite clay because it works for all skin types. The Aztec Clay jar contains 100% natural calcium bentonite clay from Death Valley, California where it’s sun-dried for up to six months. Made from volcanic ash, the clay contains over 50 minerals, almost every mineral found on Earth.
Here’s how it works: The molecules in Aztec clay carry a negative electron charge. The gunk stored in your skin has a positive charge. So when a clay mask is applied to the face, all of the impurities – toxins, viruses, parasites, fungi, bacteria – are drawn out of the skin and into the clay. And the nourishing minerals from the clay are transferred to your face.
DIY Aztec Clay Mask For All Skin Types
Before you start mixing up mask recipes, always remember to use glass, plastic or wooden bowls and spoons. Metal bowls or utensils will interfere with the negative charge that’s about to do your face so much good.
One of the simplest – and most effective – ways to make a DIY Aztec clay mask is to mix equal parts of clay with raw apple cider vinegar. Let it sit on your face (or body) for 5-15 minutes then rinse with warm water. You will feel a pulling and tightening sensation.
Apply the Aztec clay mask once or twice a week to keep your skin clear and smooth.
You can add different ingredients to customize your mask. Here are a few suggestions.
Love this mask so much it is in All Of my clients recommendations after their skin consultations. IT’S DEFINITELY A WINNER!!!
