This bentonite clay mask recipe is a gentle exfoliator and perfect for balancing oily, dry and sensitive skins. Bentonite clay is a natural detoxifier and purifier. The end result of this gentle bentonite clay mask recipe is a firm, suppler, more even tone and glowing looking skin. If you use it twice a week, it will help reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles as well as face age spot and hyperpigmentation.
Take care of NEVER using metals while touching clays as the clay draws out the metals and absorbs them! If you use metal spoons or bowls you may end up with some metal components in your mask. Your clay will also be less effective in detoxifying your skin.
The French pink clay I’ve used here is optional but I just love the color!
French Pink Clay can be used to cleanse and detoxify the skin and remove dead skin cells. It can also be used to treat acne and sun damaged skin.
I’ve added rose water (hydrosol) which is also balancing for the skin, restore the skin’s PH and helps tighten pore, plus it smells divine!
Be careful not to use rose flower imitations as there are sadly a lot of them on the market. Look for 100% natural rose flower hydrosol with no fragrance or other ingredients added. Rose water comes from the essential oil distillation process. It should not contain any “fragrance”, preservatives or any other chemicals.
If you do not have rose hydrosol on hand, you can also use mineral water or aloe vera juice.
Enough talking, let’s make this awesome balancing bentonite clay mask recipe; it will only take 5 minutes!
Bentonite clay mask recipe
Ingredients

Instructions
- Combine all ingredients until they form a thick paste in a glass or wooden bowl with a wooden spoon or stick.
- Apply a thick layer of the mask all over your face, except eyes and mouth.
- Leave on for 20 minutes or until it is dried.
- Rinse gently with warm water while massaging your skin for a few minutes.
- Apply your moisturizer (checkout this homemade light moisturizer recipe here) and enjoy your healthy glowing skin!
- This makes one application. It’s best to prepare just before using as it only take a few minutes.

There is no need for preservatives Rosilene. Just make it as you need it.
Hi Eve! If I only mix bentonite clay, french pink clay and rose geranium essential oil, what would be the shelf life at room temperature? Is it possible to mix this three ingredientes beforehand and then just add rose hydrosol when i want to use it?
Thank youQ

Hi Victoria!
If you mix bentonite clay, french pink clay and rose geranium essential oil only, the shelf life would be a year or more, depending on the shelf life of the clay you used. You should be adding rosewater only before you use it.
Hi Eve
What is the shelflife on this mask?
Author
You have to make it just before you apply or the day of.

HI ashlyn, because I have used aloe vera, You can only keep this cream for 1 month in the fridge.
Hey! I tend to add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, it intensifies the effect. Also activated charcoal can be mixed in! Steam your face to open the pores first, and then charcoal and bentonite clay will get all the dirt out of your pores 🙂
