DIY Moringa, Sea Moss & Bentonite Clay Face Mask

Making your own skincare is one of life’s underrated joys, and today, I’ve got a recipe that’s as easy as it is effective. This moringa, sea moss, and bentonite clay face mask is perfect for those days when your skin needs a little detox and nourishment. Plus, it’s gentle enough to work for all skin types, especially if yours leans on the sensitive side. Let’s get into it.

What You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this mask:

• 1 teaspoon of bentonite clay: Great for drawing out impurities and excess oil.
• 1 teaspoon of moringa powder: Packed with antioxidants and vitamins for skin health.
• 1 tablespoon of sea moss gel: A hydrating, mineral-rich base for the mask.

How to Make It

1. Start with the clay: In a small bowl, add the bentonite clay. Use a wooden or ceramic spoon—metal can react with the clay and reduce its effectiveness.
2. Add the moringa: Stir in the moringa powder until evenly mixed.
3. Mix in the sea moss gel: Add the gel slowly, stirring until you get a smooth paste.
4. Adjust the consistency: If the mixture feels too thick, add a teaspoon of water or rose water at a time until it spreads easily but doesn’t drip.

How to Use It

• Prep your skin: Start with a clean face. If you’re feeling fancy, a quick steam can help open up your pores.
• Apply the mask: Use clean fingers or a brush to spread an even layer over your face, avoiding the eyes and lips.
• Let it sit: Relax for 10–15 minutes or until the mask starts to dry (but not crack).
• Rinse off: Gently remove the mask with warm water and a soft cloth. Follow up with a hydrating moisturizer to lock in the goodness.

Why These Ingredients Work

• Bentonite clay helps detoxify your skin by absorbing impurities and excess oil, leaving it feeling clean and refreshed.
• Moringa powder is a skin-loving powerhouse, rich in vitamins A and C, which help soothe and support your skin barrier.
• Sea moss gel adds hydration and a silky texture, ensuring your skin feels soft and nourished after the mask.

Use the mask once a week for best results. Overdoing it might strip your skin, especially if it’s on the drier side.
