Buy Ingredients!
Blending Procedure:
To obtain 1 ounce of cucumber juice and/or pulp, puree 1/4 of a large cucumber.

How long you puree the cucumber is up to you. The longer you puree, the less pulp and the more juice you will have. Also, I don't peel my cucumber because I like having a bit of pulp and peel pieces in my mask. Either way, you can strain the puree to get more of a liquid consistency.

In a glass bowl, mix the 1 ounce of cucumber juice/pulp with the kaolin (clay) until you have the consistency of a smooth paste.

After cleansing thoroughly, apply the mask in a layer to face and neck area. Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Follow with toner and light moisturizer as usual. Enjoy!!

The shelf life of this product is necessarily limited by the fresh cucumber. It should be used within a few days, and kept refrigerated between uses.
