Game Face Mask

French green clay soaks up oil in this facial mask.

Clay can soak up the yuck like nothing else. French green clay, which doesn't necessarily have to come from France, is highly efficient at drawing oils and toxins from the skin. It's also rich in minerals and phytonutrients. Mix up only enough for one use. Great for guy's skin!

Here's what you do:

Wet the clay with a small amount of warm, distilled water. When thick and creamy, mix in the oil. Apply to clean skin and allow to dry about 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a moisturizer.

You'll need:

2 tablespoons French green clay
2 drops of tea tree oil

Do-It-Yourself Tips:

Try out your concoctions on an inconspicuous place like your forearm before you go slathering it all your body and have fun!
Use recipes with perishable food items such as eggs and veggies immediately or store in an airtight container up to one week in the frig.
Vodka, witch hazel, vinegar and lemon juice are natural preservatives and help extend the life of a DIY mixture.
Sugar and salt scrubs generally keep for a couple months as long as the container has a tight seal.
Store aromatherapy massage oils in a dark, well-sealed glass container for up to 6 months.
For gifts, consider separating the dry ingredients from the liquid and giving the recipient directions on how to mix them in one-use increments.
