MATERIALS

¼ cup driedchamomile

flowers

4 tablespoonsbentonite clay

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoonvitamin C powder

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

TOOLS

Coffee grinder

1

/

Grind the dried calendula and chamomile flowers into powder

using a coffee grinder.

2

/

Combine the bentonite clay, baking soda, and calendula powder

in a bowl.

3

/

Add in the chamomile powder and vitamin C powder.

4

/

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top, mix well, and store in a

small, nonmetal jar.

5

/

To use as a cleanser, shake the jar, then place a dime-sized

amount (½ teaspoon) of powder in the palm of your hand, adding

a few drops of water at a time until a paste is created. Rub the

mixture on your face and neck for 2 minutes, then rinse and pat dry.

6

/

To use as a mask, you’ll want to take a little more powder so you

have enough to cover your face. Mix with water, apply the mixture

to your face, and leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing

thoroughly.

/

For either use, follow with hydrating facial oil or serum.

When used regularly, gentle clay cleansers will leave skin clean, soft, exfoliated, and

soothed. Personally, I love a product that can work double duty, and clay cleansers can often

double as a mask with just a little extra time. This bentonite clay cleanser can work for

almost any skin type—and even better, this powder cleanser can be made in a large batch

and stored in a small jar for easy use.
