Kaolin and Chamomile Mask

Chamomile is particularly soothing for hot, dry or irritated skin. It has a delicate lavender-ish scent and is cooling and calming. You can add in extras such as aloe vera, bulbinella or marshmallow root for additional soothing and healing properties.

2 T kaolin clay

3 T water or herbal infusion (you can make chamomile tea and use that)

2-3 drops chamomile essential oil

Optional: 1 teaspoon aloe vera powder / 1 teaspoon jojoba oil / 1 teaspoon marshmallow root powder / 1 teaspoon bulbinella extract

Thoroughly mix everything together, apply to clean skin and leave on for 10-15 minutes then rinse off with warm water and follow up with a moisturiser if necessary. You can find more fantastic mineral clay mask recipes on our blog.
