Tree Mud Mask Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 Tablespoons Sea Clay
• 1 teaspoon Tea Tree Oil
• 1- 4 oz. Jar with Lid
• Water (purified)– Use purified water if possible. It will mix better with the sea clay, and since you are opening the pores, you will want to use the purest of products.
• Essential Oil (optional)— Use 1 drop of essential oil if you are looking for aromatherapy benefits or want to give the mask some aroma.
• Lavender Essential Oil (optional) is a great oil to use when you want to relax, so it is highly recommended for this facial mask.

Steps:

Put the dead sea into the jar. Mix in enough water to moisten the clay without drenching it. You just want it moist enough so that the color turns dark. Too much water will make the mask too loose, and it won’t adhere to your face as easily. Use a mixing stick to add the tea tree oil and your drop of essential oil. Obviously, if you are adding the essential oil, you will want to make sure to cut back on the water as it will be moist enough. Once mixed, you can apply it immediately to your (washed) face. The mask will dry and return to the initial lighter color within about 15 minutes. Wash off with a clean washcloth or in the shower. Once it is washed off, I recommend applying a moisturizer as soon as possible.

You can store the remaining product in a cool/dry place, but you will need to re-water upon next use. It’s best to make fresh for each use as it is easy to mix and you will have the best quality product. The sea clay stores wonderfully without liquid in a Ziplock bag.
