• 2 tbsp (30 ml) of May rose petals or Damask rose
• 1 tbsp (15 ml or 9 g) of pink clay and/or white clay
• 2 tsp (10 ml or 10 g) of water
• 5 drops of rosehip oil or other vegetable oil (optional)

1. Using a coffee grinder or a mortar, reduce the rose petals to powder. You can also crumble them between your fingers as finely as possible if you don't have the tools to make a fine powder - that works too!

2. Mix with the clay, water and rosehip oil (if you chose to use it). You may need a little more or less water. What matters is a texture that's pleasant to spread on the face.

Spread on the face, neck and décolleté and leave on 15 minutes. Avoid letting the mask dry and rewet it as needed (a clay mask that dries on the face tends to irritate the skin).

Rinse gently with lukewarm water and a towel, or in the shower.

Can hydrosols, essential oils or aloe juice be put in a clay mask?

Since clay has a very purifying action, we avoid adding ingredients that could irritate the skin. Even though hydrosols, aloe juice and well-diluted essential oils are mostly always well tolerated, combining them with clay can make them harsh on the delicate skin of the face.
