Recipes for Clay Masks
Simple Clay Face Mask
For a very simple Face Mask mix equal amounts of water & Clay and add a small quantity of Essential Oils (1-10 drops per 100ml - optional). NB: No heating is required.
Here is a recipe I used on the Ruby Wax show for BBC1 television in the UK and a lot of these raw materials you can find in your own fridge or cupboard.
The 'Ruby Wax' Avocado/Cucumber/Clay Face Mask
This face mask is good for mature and dehydrated or dry skin. The cucumber has a natural moisturising effect and it smells like a fresh vegetable salad.
Stage 1:
- 1/4 cup cucumber, peel and chopped
- 1/4 cup avocado flesh
- 3 tablespoons finely powdered oats (for mild peeling)
- 3 tablespoons of water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (squeezed from lemon)
- 1 teaspoon honey
Stage 2:
- 8-9 tablespoons Clay powder
- Few drops of Essential Oils (optional)
Method:
- Stage 1: Puree the cucumber and avocado flesh in a food processor until it is smooth with the water and lemon juice. Then add all the other ingredients in Stage 1.
- Stage 2: Pour out the mix from the blender into a bowl and then whisk in the Clay. Apply the Face Masks to a clean face and neck and leave on for 20-30 minutes.
- Rinse off with warm water then apply a Toner and Moisturiser.
- Use the Mask 1-2 times a week.
Important note: This Face Mask must be used immediately, it cannot be kept or preserved but will keep a few days in the fridge.

Clay Mask for Sensitive Skin
40 ml Rose Water (Organic)
25 ml Spring Water
10 drops Preservative
75g/ml Pink Clay powder
10ml Apricot Kernel Oil
Method for all Face Masks:
- Pour the water into a bowl and add the drops of preservative.
- Sprinkle the clay powder over and allow it to sink into the water without stirring (Part 1). Stirring can begin when the uppermost layer of clay powder has begun to absorb the water.
- Add the other ingredients at this point (Part 2).
- If you have sensitive skin, a small amount of vegetable oil can be added to the recipe and the face mask can be applied to dry skin which has been covered with a thin layer of oil.
- Wash the face mask off before it is fully dry. Otherwise, apply the face mask to clean skin which has been moistened with water.
- If you have normal skin, allow the face mask to dry completely before washing off. For normal skin, grimacing before washing off the face mask is an effective way of removing dead skin cells. NB: Moisten the lips first, otherwise these and not just the face mask will crack!
