After having a really amazing facial a few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to continue giving my skin the best care possible! So I put together a clay mask with bentonite clay. Skin concerns is extremely common with people who have PCOS. Especially if they have higher levels of testosterone. Acne can be a symptom of hormonal imbalances or food sensitivities. Acne has always been something I have struggled with in the past but with the help of my Naturopathic Doctor I have been able to manage my acne symptoms through my diet and balancing my hormones.

Did you know bentonite clay comes from volcanos? It’s great at drawing out the toxins in your skin!
The clay feels great on my skin! It can feel a little tingly and some people feel like it’s a little too intense for them. I made sure to only use a fairly thin layer of the clay mask! This mask is great to do on a weekly basis. The oils I added to the mask really help to hydrate and brighten the skin!

I heard about this bentonite clay by a friend of mine. She used to do her facial using that clay only. Now, I could refer this clay mask recipe to my friend. I found the instructions are not that much difficult so I’m also going to try this one. See you after a bentonite facial… Be connected with us…
