Parsley is thought to be soothing, cleansing and detoxifying while kelp contains over 60 minerals and elements, 21 amino acids, simple and complex carbohydrates. It is deep in color and has a definite fish/sea-like aroma. It is very popular in scrubs and facial treatments due to its extraordinary array of minerals & vitamins. This is a wonderful cleansing and purifying facial mask.

You will need:

2 oz Kaolin - White Clay
1 oz Bentonite Clay
1 oz Sodium Bicarbonate
0.50 oz Parsley Powder
0.25 oz Kelp Powder
20 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil

In a small stainless steel or glass mixing bowl, combine ingredients until well blended. Store powdered masque in an airtight container until use.
To Use: Add distilled water, hydrosol or Herbal Mist to approximately 1 oz powder to make a paste. Spread paste onto face or other trouble areas like the chest and back. Allow to sit (roughly 15 - 20 minutes). Rinse. Moisturize as needed.

Note: Do NOT pre-mix wet and dry ingredients as they are not stable long-term without a preservative.
