Coffee and clay detoxifying face mask – DIY

Detoxifying clay mask

Hello readers.. In my previous post I shared coconut oil hair masks and today am here to share face mask recipe with you all. From the title you know that the mask contains coffee and clay. The smell of coffee is heavenly and it also soothes our mind. This mask is really addictive. Once you start using this mask you can’t stop using this on daily basis due to it’s aroma. This clay mask is more of a aromatherapy. It calms our mind and it also clears toxins from our skin. The ingredients of this mask is easily available and so you can easily make a batch for your self. This mask is my all time favorite.

THINGS NEEDED

If you have dry skin then you can use white kaolin clay and skip red and pink french clay. If you have extremely oily skin then uses red clay and you may skip white kaolin and french pink  clay. If you have normal to combination skin type then you may opt for french pink  clay instead of red clay and white kaolin clay. Sensitive skinned beauties can choose between white kaolin clay and french  pink clay.

WHY I’M USING THESE INGREDIENTS?

Coffee powder

Consuming coffee on a daily basis is not a good idea but topical application of coffee has numerous benefits to skin. If you are someone who has scars on face then coffee helps you to clear those scars. I won’t promise you that it will clear out the scars within few uses but I will say that it fades those scars with few uses and clears it out with regular usage. For mature skin, coffee is elasticity booster. It improves elasticity of your skin and also delays the ageing signs. If you are in your late 20’s then this is the right time to start using coffee in your skin care regime. The aroma of coffee calms your mind which is added benefit. I personally use coffee to brighten up my skin. Coffee powder adds glow to your skin and it also brightens up your face.
