Do you have oily skin, clogged pores or struggle with acne? Then this mask is exactly for you! 🌿 Natural, effective and super easy to make. Plus, you can prep it ahead and use it whenever. An inexpensive luxury your skin will totally thank you for!

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons of green clay – absorbs oil and impurities

• 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar – antibacterial 🦠, balances pH ⚖️ and firms skin 

• 1–2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel or water – moisturizes and soothes irritation🌸

GG tip: If you don’t have time for a more complicated mask, clay alone is totally enough! 🙌 It’s no biggie – just mix it with a little water and boom you’ve got a quick, effective, and even cheaper option 💸😌. You can try pink or blue clay – it’s fun and makes your skin glow.

I usually do my mask in the bath 🛁 so I don’t make a mess, but do whatever works for you! As it dries, it tightens the skin nicely – major bonus! 

If you’re into long, chill baths, you can even rinse the clay straight into the water – gives your whole body some love too 💕. After that, just rinse with clean water and while your skin is still damp, apply your fave oil 🌿. I use apricot with hemp and a few drops of lavender 💛🌱 – but everyone’s got their go-to.

✨Add essential oils like tea tree, lavender or rosemary – they’ve got amazing benefits for oily skin too.

🧪 Instructions:

• In a bowl, mix clay, apple cider vinegar and aloe vera gel or water until a smooth paste is formed.

• Transfer the mixture into a clean container (a small glass jar ~100 ml is perfect).

• The mask is ready! Just stir it before use.

🧖‍♀️ How to use:

• Apply a thin layer (~1 mm) on cleansed skin (e.g. using a peeling), avoiding the eyes and lips.

• Leave on for 10–15 minutes ⏱️ until dry.

• Rinse with warm water and gently pat dry with a towel.

• Follow up with your fave toner and moisturiser.

💁‍♀️ Who the mask is for:

• Oily skin: Say goodbye to shine and excess sebum 

• Pores: Helps unclog pores and smooths your skin 

• Acne: Antibacterial ingredients fight breakouts and soothe inflammation

🔬 How it works:

• Green Clay: Absorbs oil, deeply cleanses, helps fight acne

• Apple Cider Vinegar: Balances pH, firms skin, antibacterial

• Aloe Vera (or Water): Soothes, hydrates, promotes healing

💸 Price:

You really pay for the branding sometimes.

• Pre-made clay mask: ~200 CZK (≈ €8) for 100g

• Pure green clay (DIY-ready): ~60 CZK (≈ €2.5) per 100g

📆 How long it lasts:

• Store in the fridge, max 3 days if using vinegar + aloe.

• Want longer shelf life? Add a few drops of vitamin E or grapefruit seed extract (3–5 drops per 50 ml).
  → Up to 14 days freshness! But always keep it cold

• Tip: fresh is best 🌱💫

GG tip: The clay + water option is mixed just before use, that’s how the clay will practically last until it’s used. Just prepare the mixture in a different container so you don’t contaminate the clay. Keep the clay dry. For instance, I have a container of purchased clay, and when I want to use the mask, I simply measure out the amount I need (2 tablespoons) into a bowl, mix it with water, and that’s it!

🌱 Eco-friendly tip: Natural ingredients, no chemicals and less waste. Taking care of your skin and the planet at the same time? Two birds, one stone💚!

It’s easy, fast and super effective. Try it – your skin will glow ✨!
