DIY Lavender Detox Face Mask

This homemade face mask makes the perfect addition to your pampering routine (so does this peppermint foot cream!). if you’ve never used bentonite clay before you’re missing out. It’s know for its detoxifying and healing properties making it the perfect base for this mask. Whip up a batch of this clay mask and give your skin some love.

 DIY Lavender Detox Face Mask

Bentonite clay has long been used as a healing clay. It’s been shown to combat metal exposure, remove toxins and improve your immune system. I myself have used it not just in face masks but red bums, hives and for other detoxes. It’s made to heal which makes it the perfect base for this face mask.

The other main ingredient in this clay mask is raw apple cider vinegar. If you haven’t heard by now, apple cider vinegar has been quoted to do almost everything 😉 That aside, I love this vinegar and do find that it reduces inflammation.

And of course lavender. While the smell of lavender itself is calming making it perfect for a night of pampering, it has also been shown to reduce skin irritations and redness.

Truthfully, this mask is a little piece of health in itself. It’s perfect when you need to show your skin some love and best not used on a daily basis (twice a month is plenty). The thing to note with this mask is that you’ve got to use pure ingredients- only then will it be effective. Meaning, make sure you use bentonite clay and not  a knock off and look for pure, raw, unstrained apple cider vinegar (the one with the strings and mother still in the bottle). Only then will you reap the most benefits.

This face mask takes under a minute to whip together and thanks to the clay has great haling properties. Perfect to add to your pampering routine.

Ingredients In The Detoxifying Mask

  • 2 tablespoons bentonite clay
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 4 drops lavender essential oil
  • 1 tablespoon water

Spread onto face and let sit until it’s “caked”. It should be starting to dry and peel (10-12minutes). Using a warm cloth remove the mask and apply your favorite lotion

Note: make sure you don’t use a metal spoon or bowl to mix or apply the mask. Metal deactivates the detoxing properties in the clay

    Sounds so luxurious! How would bentonite clay compare to activated charcoal in this mask? I only ask because I’m out of BC but have lots of AC, lol.

      That’s a really good question! I don’t have a technical/researched answer for you but my logical side tells me that you could interchange them, it would still work mask wise. The charcoal is primarily focused on drawing out toxins where as the clay does that also but its main focus is more on healing/soothing skin irritation- does that make sense? So either way it would be a good mask but I would think the clay would help with any redness/bumps/zits a bit more.
