How to Deep Cleanse with Bentonite Clay

Mix bentonite clay with water or apple cider vinegar to form a smooth paste, apply to clean skin for 10-15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

1. Mix the mask. Combine 1-2 tablespoons bentonite clay powder with enough liquid to form a smooth, spreadable paste. Use water for sensitive skin or apple cider vinegar for oily skin. Mix with a non-metal spoon to avoid altering the clay's properties.
2. Apply to clean skin. Start with freshly cleansed skin and apply the mask evenly, avoiding the eye area. Work quickly as bentonite clay begins tightening immediately. Aim for a medium thickness that won't crack excessively as it dries.
3. Wait and rinse. Leave on for 10-15 minutes until the mask feels tight but not uncomfortable. Remove with lukewarm water using gentle circular motions, then follow with your regular moisturizer since clay masks can be drying.
