Mix the ingredients together, if there is not enough liquid to add to the consistency of a smooth paste. Apply on clean skin and leave on for 10 minutes maximum, sprayed a little water to not let the mask dry. Remove with a wet washcloth.

* No cranberry juice ? It does not matter you can replace it with the juice of these fruits rich in antioxidant ; red grapes, banana, blueberry, prune, white raisin, branched pomme, raspberry, cherry, passion fruit, lychee, etc..

Note that all fruits are not suitable for masks because some may be allergic, such as kiwi or citrus for example.

I love bread cleanser from Lush. I had made a version with lavender while ago. Then with the return of the fall I wanted a purifying and toning to give a little pep to my skin in the morning. But not only, I wanted a practical product, hence its usefulness in cleansing or mask. Here is my recipe.

3 cs almond powder (gentle exfoliator)
2 cm vegetable glycerine (mild moisturizer)
2 cs clay depending on your skin type (purifying and toning)*
1/2 cc of cranberry powder or green tea (antioxidant)
1 cs hydrosol cistus (regenerating)
10 ET drops petitgrain (revitalizing)
7 ET drops rosewood (bracing)
1/2 cc bamboo fiber (exfoliant)
0.6% Ecogard (conservative)

Mix the ground almonds, clay and powdered cranberries. To this mixture add glycerine and hydrosol. When the whole forms a nice firm dough add your essential oils, Your Conservative and bamboo fiber while kneading the dough well with a spoon. To use it you just take a little nutty and mixing in water, apply on your face and massage gently.

You can use this cleaner for a mask once a week. Take a small knob in your hand, mixed with a little water. Apply the paste on face and let stand about 10 minutes and rinse.

This mask is perfect for all skin types, as mature qu'acnéique ! Keep your bun in a cool well sterilized jar and sealed.

The raw materials are almost all in Aromazone and conservative in Bilby & Co.
