- 30 ml (2 tbsp) or 9 g of diatomaceous earth

How to use it
When making the mask, take 10 ml (2 tsp) of dry ingredients and mix in a bowl with the glycerin and the chamomile infusion (or water or hydrosol).
Apply the mask to clean skin and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes without letting it dry, dampening as needed.
Remove with a washcloth wet with hot water.
Apply a hydrosol or our Nordic balsam fir face lotion, then finish the treatment with a serum, butter or moisturizing cream!
How does it work?
Diatomaceous earth, what's that? Even though its name suggests a mythical earth reserved for Greek gods, it's well loved by us mere mortals haha. It's an ultra-fine, soft clay made of fossilized algae. It cleanses skin deeply but softens it like a baby's bum. A must-have in any witch's medicine cabinet!
Lavandin powder soothes and softens, vegetable glycerin has a humectant character that helps preserve skin hydration, and chamomile infusion soothes tired and irritated skin.
