Want to naturally cleanse your face? This detox face mask is my go-to product for keeping my skin clean and clear.
Bentonite clay is a “superfood” I often use in my home. It has cleansing and detoxifying effects that are beneficial to our bodies internally and externally. When used on the skin, bentonite clay will help draw out and absorb impurities. This makes it a wonderful ingredient to use in homemade skin care products like this detox face mask.
This clay mask also calls for coconut oil, lemon juice and honey which help clean the skin with their anti-bacterial properties.
My four-year old daughter Naomi loves to make homemade beauty products with me and asked to test out this mask when I made it recently.

unique varieties of honey ever created includes the
Rape Honey of also known as the Canola which has been coined from your phrase Canadian oil and
was made from your rapeseed plant. For many years, honey involved the only real substitute for sugar available, and honey recently comparable level of calories and sugar as regular refined sugar does.
If marketed to retailers, the value is different from six to ten cents for extracted honey and
from 10-15 cents for comb honey.

August 6, 2016 at 10:54 amHi! What a great sounding recipe!! I have a question though is there a good shelf life? I would love to make a batch of this so it’s ready to go when I need it. I imagine that it should hold nicely especially because of the lemon but not sure how long the shelf life would be our if it’ll have to be stored a certain way other than an air tight container. ..

July 30, 2015 at 12:03 pmAdd more lemon juice to thin it out. Lemon juice really helps to clean out the pores.

May 30, 2014 at 11:20 pmDo you think yl lemon oil would work also and if so how many drops would you suggest!

May 19, 2014 at 7:49 pmI didn’t measure out the ingredients but I suggest letting this sit for a few minutes so everything can come together properly.
When I applied right after mixing it started to fall right off my face and into large clumps.

January 24, 2015 at 9:38 amI had this problem too. I mixed it just like it said and it just got clumpy and wouldn’t stick to my face.

April 10, 2014 at 3:06 pmIn reading the comments from Amazon reviewers I’m concerned since several people said that Lead is on the ingredients list, and it says not to use on children.

January 11, 2015 at 5:55 pmThe lead is not a pollutant and not a by-product of manufacturing. It is naturally occurring and in small enough amounts that it will not cause harm. It is part of the natural ingredients of clay dirt.

March 16, 2014 at 9:46 amHi, this looks great! I wonder, does this make enough for just one mask application, or is there enough for a couple of uses? If there’s enough for multiple uses, how do you store the extra and how long is it good for? Thanks!
