Blending Procedure:

   1. Combine the waters and add vegetable glycerin. Stir until well mixed and all glycerin is completely dissolved.

   2. Add clay and stir. (I like to use an electric mixer because it often gives a smoother texture. A mixer is especially helpful if you are making this in a large quantity.)

   3. Once a smooth, creamy paste is formed, add the essential oils and stir with a pop sickle stick to incorporate. If mixture is too dry, add a bit more hydrosol or water. If mixture is too wet and not "paste-y" enough, add a bit more clay.

   4. To use, smooth over clean face and neck skin using a spatula or a soft paint brush (feels so good!). Rest for about 10 minutes as the mask dries and draws impurities from the skin''s surface. Rinse well with warm water. My favorite way to rinse is to saturate a soft cloth with warm water and place it over my face the loosen the mask. Then wipe gently, re-saturating the cloth as needed until all mask has been gently wiped away from the skin. Follow with toner and moisturizer.

   5. This mixture can be used 1-2 times weekly as needed and can be stored in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks between uses in an airtight container.
