Ingredients
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) of bentonite clay
- 2.5 ml (½ tsp) of activated charcoal
- 2.5 ml (½ tsp) of sunflower oil
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) of water
Preparation steps
Pour all the ingredients into a small bowl, then mix well.
Tip
You can multiply the amounts of clay and charcoal as much as you like, store everything in an airtight jar, and take out a small amount to which you'll add sunflower oil and water each time you want to use it.
How to use it
Apply the paste to the face and leave on 10 to 15 minutes without letting it dry, rewetting from time to time. Rinse with lukewarm water and remove residue with a damp washcloth.
Repeat twice a month.
The charcoal may leave small black residue in your pores, but it'll come off easily when you wash your face well!
Note: best done in your birthday suit! Activated charcoal is a bit messy;)
