I just love masking. It’s therapeutic and helps treat my skin concerns. I usually love making a cup of tea, picking up one of my favorite masks and just having a moment just for me. Certainly, Clay mask for face is one of my favorite types of mask. Why? Well, clay is renowned for it’s healing and has been used for it’s therapeutic benefits for thousands of years.

So, the different colors indicate the mineral content, plant matter and the depths from which they were made from.
