Gentle white clay mask

Before starting, clean the worktop and prepare a large, dry, completely clean container. In recipes containing powders, moisture introduced too early can cause the mixture to clump.

If you are preparing more than one unit, wear a mask to avoid inhaling fine dust while weighing and stirring.

Weigh the White Kaolin Clay first, as it is the main ingredient. Then add the remaining powders one at a time.

Work slowly and avoid tapping the container. The idea is to avoid clouds of powder and achieve a clean mixture from the start.

Fold the mixture until the colour and texture look uniform. If there are small lumps, sieve the mixture and stir again.

This step greatly improves the experience of using the product, because a fine mixture hydrates better and leaves fewer lumps on the skin or in the bath.

Transfer the powder to a clean, dry jar and close it tightly. Add a label with the name and preparation date.

Keep it away from moisture. Do not put wet spoons or fingers into the container, as it would then cease to be a safe dry mixture.

To use as a mask or paste, take a small amount in a separate bowl and gradually add water or hydrosol until a comfortable texture forms. Do not add liquid to the main jar.

For bath salts, dissolve the required amount directly in the bath or foot-bath water.

Apply briefly the first time and rinse with plenty of water before it becomes uncomfortable. If you notice itching, excessive heat or irritation, remove immediately.

Do not keep leftovers that have already been hydrated. When a powder is wetted, the preservation risk changes completely.
