Hi guys, this is a simple homemade clay mask for oily skin that will instantly clean your face and remove all traces of shine. All you need is one teaspoon of clay powder, milk and honey.

Clay is beneficial for oily, acne-prone and sensitive skin because it has the ability to soak in impurities and excess oil leaving behind a healthier skin.

You can use any type of clay powder from the drugstore, I used Aslavital Clay Powder for Facial Treatments, this is a Romanian brand that is not really delivered internationally (that’s a pity), but you can use any other clay powder for this mask.

When you mix clay powder with water (the original recipe for clay masks) yo will feel a strong tightening effect, however if you mix the clay with other ingredients (honey for instance) the tightening effect is not so strong. I personally prefer a more moisturizing and non-tightening version of the clay mask, I find it more comfortable.

After leaving the mask on for about 15 min you can rinse it off, don’t worry if your skin looks a bit red, it will calm down once you put on your moisturizer.

You can take a look at DIY Spa Treatment: Clay mask from BellaSugar for another great recipe that you might like.
