DIY Deep Cleansing Mud Recipe with Essential Oils | Country Hill Cottage

n the first part of our new Clear Skin series, I share how to make a DIY deep cleansing mud with essential oils. This homemade natural facial cleanser cleans gently yet effectively and works great for all skin types. The base is made of Ghassoul mud, a clay that’s rich in minerals and anti-bacterial. Blended into this mud are rose and geranium floral waters to moisturise, as well as sandalwood and red mandarin essential oils. Grape seed oil is light oil that doesn’t grease the skin and provides a nourishing boost of antioxidant vitamin E. The addition of finely ground coffee helps to exfoliate gently, which I recommend skipping if your skin is very irritated. You can download the recipe and a pretty printable label at the end of this post.
