8 DIY Clay Face Masks That Are Extremely Satisfying

When caring for your skin, the number one best thing you can do for your face besides drinking water, is applying a moisturiser designed for your skin type, and of course, applying face masks. Face masks are a sure fire way to clean your skin thoroughly clean, they work to reduce the appearance of pores, remove blackheads, whiteheads, eliminate dirt and traces of makeup, and most importantly, reveal fresh, healthy looking skin.

Clay face masks specifically, are designed to soak up all the dead skin on the skin’s surface, in an effort to promote new skin cells to form. They remove dirt, impurities, pollution and other nasties to reveal fresh, revitalised skin. Clay face masks in particular are great for those with acne-prone or oily skin types, as the clay-like texture works to soak up the skin’s natural oils in a more active way. In this way, clay face masks have become quite popular recently, and everyone is dying to get their hands on them in one way or another.

While of course it may be safe to buy a face mask from a brand you trust or wish to support, you can easily make your own clay face mask right at home. And actually, you can be quite creative with it too! So if you’re interested in using a clay face mask and even more interested in learning how to make them yourself, then you definitely need to try these eight DIY clay face masks that look extremely satisfying to the naked eye.
