Who doesn't love a trip to the spa?

But sometimes a trip to the spa is far too time-consuming or costly, but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice being pampered all together! With just a handful of ingredients and about thirty minutes, an at-home clay mask could have your skin feeling radiant!

We love adding oils to our clay mask, too. Tea tree oil has long been used in skin care regimens, and many essential oils can, when blended, be used topically to create an aromatic and spa-like experience.

This is one of our favorite DIY clay mask recipes using lavender and tea tree oils. We like using apple cider vinegar to mix with our clay, but for more sensitive skin types we recommend water.

What You'll Need

2 teaspoons bentonite clay
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or water
2 drops lavender oil
2 drops tea tree oil

Step One

Combine ingredients in a small bowl and mix until it forms a thick paste.

Step Two

Apply to face and neck area, avoiding sensitive areas.

Step Three

Allow 15-20 minutes to dry.

Step Four

Rinse with warm water, pat dry with a clean cloth and apply a moisturizer.
