Hey Everyone, after spending extra time in my kitchen these past few days as well as spending more time researching. Exercising better care of myself and my plants. I thought about revisiting the DIY mask topic. Most of the time my followers respond saying they are too busy and don’t have enough time. When I reposted this poll recently, I discover that 62% answered yes to doing a mask at home using Ingredients in their kitchen now being in quarantine. I put together some fairly simple mask for the face, body and hair. All ingredients are listed below. Please share if you create any of the mask below tag us on social media I would love to see how they turn out! Feel free to store the aloe mask in the fridge for a few days in a mason jar if you produce a bigger batch. The coffee scrub can be stored up to 2 months in a jar. Place this mask in a place that is room temperature the mask/scrub can liquify if stored in an area that is too warm. I typically use this as a mask and a scrub I apply it all over the body. Allow it dry and then scrub gently and exfoliate it off the body. The clay mask for body can also be stored but must be stored in a jar with a tight-fitting lid because it can dry out. All other mask are friendly for one time use in order to keep it fresh.

Skincare with @oohkayla

Hi my name is Kayla and I am a skincare addict. My love for skincare began when I was dealing with a terrible allergic reaction/breakout that lasted months before clearing up. I call that time the Dark Ages, as I had become “ye of little faith” I found the internet going crazy over Aztec Secret: Indian Healing Clay.

Youtube and most online new outlets were all talking about this magical powder that would have your face pulsating and red but the results were allegedly outstanding, I purchased mine at whole foods along with some apple cider vinegar and the love affair began.

According to Aztec Secret “clay has been used for centuries, Cleopatra used clay from the Nile as part of her beauty ritual.” The website goes on to explain that the clay helps to remove harmful toxins from not only your skin but your body overall, in essence the mask is supposed to be the ultimate detox that can be used anywhere on the body, including hair. The mask helps with acne, cellulite, eczema, and frizzy hair, the only thing the mask doesn’t do is laundry.

The recipe calls for equal parts powder to liquid and recommends you don’t use anything metal in the process because it will mess with the powder’s properties.

2 ingredients are needed: the Indian Healing Clay and you can use either apple cider vinegar or water, and it is recommended that water be used for “sensitive skin”. I personally only use the apple cider vinegar option and I have sensitive dry skin. Some articles tell state there isn’t a difference between using water or apple cider vinegar (ACV), but I disagree. I felt the mask was way more effective when using the ACV.

If you haven’t jumped on the ACV trend, the acid in the product helps to remove dead skin, possess some anti-bacterial properties and overall helps to create a pH balance. In addition this is a product that can be used from head to toe and also consumed to help you from the inside out.

In my personal experience I use the mask anytime I want a really strong detoxifying/smoothing mask. My pores are always smaller, cleaner, smoother and subtle after using it. This is by far one of my all-time favorite masks. Once I make mix it up I apply it with a brush to make sure application is even and let the magic begin. This lovely DIY mask is beyond affordable and the Aztec Healing Clay lasts for a long time, the clay comes in a large container with a great amount of product. For under $15 you can get a 1lb of product!

DUPE ALERT! This mask compares to the Glamglow Supermud Clearing Treatment mask which varies in price based on size. The biggest size is 3.5oz and is $99!! That is about 5x smaller than the Aztec Healing Clay. Although I love both masks I would recommend everyone try the Aztec Healing Clay.
