Currently this face mask is my absolute favorite for when my skin has absolutely had it and needs some serious life pumped back into it fast.
What do the ingredients do?
Green Clay
This little power powder is fantastic for drawing….no drawing sounds too gentle….forcefully pulling the rubbish out of your skin, improving the circulation, tones and strenghthens your skin. Some people can apply this directly to the skin but just a little warning, it will leave your skin red for the next 20-30 minutes if you just apply a green clay mixture on your skin.
Walnuts
You would be amazed at how much oil is in this nut and I love this one for putting the moisture back in my skin. Obviously DO NOT use this in the recipe if you are alergic to nuts.
Oats
Most people eat this without realising how increadible it is for the skin! It is anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, has mild cleansing properties and it is fantastic for acne, eczema, rosacea and rashes. You know those days where your skin is just red, inflamed and blotchy? Try an oat and honey face mask…lifesaver!
Asiprin
I just Salicylic acid (BHA, beta hydroxy acid) which is great for getting down into the skin and un-cloging pores and chemically removing the dead skin cells. One thing I do have to say is don’t overuse this, overuse makes your skin so sensitive.
Lavender Oil
This is one of the few oils that can be directly applied on the skin and it really is a beauty for skin care. It is antiseptic, relaxing and like oats it is fantastic for acne, eczema, rosacea and rashes.
Mineral Water
Not enterly neccessary, water strait from the tap is FULL of bacteria which will make the mask go off faster. If you are just making one batch tap water if fine, but if you’re making some to use over the next week or two use Mineral water or it will only last a week.
Why type of skin would you recommend this for?
I use this mask for when my skin is feeling congested and irritated, like you have something sitting under your skin which is just itching to get out. Anyone with oily and normal skin can use this but if you have very dry skin I would recommend that you only use a fourth of the green clay I used. Green clay in the amounts I used I think would be too rough for something with dry to very dry skin.
I hope you like the video :)
Love it! I like DIY’s. but, if you don’t got clay, what you could use?
If you dont have green clay just skip that ingredient, the rest of the ingredients will still work wonders for your skin :)
I love your posts and videos, but since you are recommending lavender oil, it might be a good idea to know that it is an irritant.
Lavender Oil
I have been using honey and oats for a while now and love how my skin feels afterward. I was planning on picking up some clay and rosehip oil to add to the mix. I always forget how good lavender is for skin, I might just have to pick some of that up too.
Awesome DIY, I really can’t wait to try it out. I’ve recently come to live in Australia for a few months until my fiance’s visa is approved and it’s full blown summer here and my skin has become excessively oily. It gets oily during the summer in the US but it’s just ridiculous these days, do you have any suggestions on how to reduce the excess oilyness?
Yes I do, a few videos back on my second channel I did a rice face scrub video, I think it would be perfect for your skin :)
Thank you so much!
Hi! I love this recipe but I dont have the lavander oil, can I replace it with Tea Tree Oil???
Yes you could :)
Oo I’m thinking beauty sleepover :D
Thanks for the D.I.Y, Klaire!
p.s: why don’t you make super short video to let people know about the shorty award? most of us don’t bother reading the description box :)
I will, going to put something out on my main channel later today :)
Hi!
I love your DIY videos, brilliant!
I was just wondering if I could use Tylenol instead of Aspirin? Also I really like almond oil, could I use almonds instead of walnuts?
Thanks!!
I have no idea what Tylenol is so I can’t recommend it but yes, you could use almond oil instead of walnuts :)
Great idea, thank you!
:D id like to recommend olive oil i would use it for my hair and face x’3 and sometime for my eyelashes… but mostly my face it make my skin soft and it feels amazing ^- ^
What exactly is green clay, is it literally just clay? Also, where can I buy some? I live in the states and have never heard of it before. Can I buy it online?
It was great, I’m very fond of your DIY films.
You give me a lot of inspiration.
And I admit that I prefer to make my own cosmetics.
Currently I use face cream and eye cream that I make myself at home, from essential oils and natural aloe vera gel.
I would love to help you learn how to do it too if you want.
I’m so glad I found your channel. Tylenol is Acetaminophen. http://www.tylenol.com. Not completely like aspirin, but in the same medical class of pain relievers.
I love it! I think I will try this one very soon, it sounds like a good mask! Is it an idea to replace the green clay with yellow clay? I once was in a welness centre and you could get clay masks there too, but they recommended the green clay for your body only and yellow clay for your face (and even your hair!). Anyways, thanks for this nice DIY :)
I’ve never (or heard) of yellow clay so I have no idea :/
yellow clay is this stuff:

I think the properties are somewhat different, but it’s still clay :)
Yuppy ! Eager to try it these days :)
Great idea Klaire! but I wonder do the oats clog pores?
Maybe it’s an idea to store the ground oats, clay, walnuts and aspirin as a dry substance and to add the liquids right before application? That way you almost can’t go wrong with storing it :)
Oh and I love the idea of mixing these, never really thought of it. Thanks!
where can you buy the green clay
i bought mine from amazon, is a good price if you ask me, apparently it takes around a month to get here, but im eager to try it!
