I've been rather jealous of my little sister. She can use all of the doTerra oils and all of the spa products. She's been using the skin care line with great success. She said that she only wished that doTerra made a mud mask. Little wheels got turning in my head.
After scouring pinterest for what seemed to be hours I found a couple of recipes that all required bentonite or green clay. I live in one of the least "hippie" states so finding that around here was proving to be a challenge. My sister told me that she found some at her local Whole Foods. I hunted it down like a bloodhound on the scent.
I found a dry mask from Now Solutions called european clay powder, that you add water to and whatever EO you felt like using. I added one drop of peppermint oil and slathered it on my face. I'll spare you the pictures, it wasn't pretty, I looked like the creature from the black lagoon. The directions said to leave it on for 15 minutes, well being the highly distractable person I am 15 minute turned into 45. My skin wasn't thrilled about it, but I did notice a rather immediate tightening and clearing of my skin.
Will I do it again? YES! When I run out I might order it in bulk though and add some honey as well as the EO.
