Clay Masks
A skincare essential.
Our greatest allies are so often the simplest and most available... and so often overlooked. But do not underestimate the humble clay! A quality clay has the power to literally transform our skin, especially when applied regularly. Try for yourself a consistent application of any of our blends best suited for your current skin situation and see for yourself how amazing the results can be!
Our Clay Masks embody Earth Power at its finest (literally)!
From pore reduction and purging to hydration and healing… there’s a clay for everything! Beauty is Balance and clay is is key…. and no one does Beauty and Balance quite like Mama Earth!
Choose any one or combination to more specifically address your unique skin type and specific skincare goals.
Each of our clay blends offer unique benefits. In order of mildest to strongest…
WHITE
our most gentle and skin-softening mask, especially suited for dry, sensitive and delicate skin types.
ROSE
a gently cleansing and mineralizing blend especially suited for more mature and dry/combination skin.
GOLD
a soothing and gently exfoliating mask best suited for irritated, dry, damaged or blemish-prone skin.
GREEN
a highly nourishing bio-mineral blend to balance, tone and exfoliate; suitable for most all skin types.
RED*
a deeply drawing and pore-minimizing blend best suited for oily and porous skin.
BLACK*
an exceptionally detoxifying and pore de-congesting blend; especially suited for skin detox (great for those who wear make-up daily or are detoxing from not-so-natural and/or clinical-grade products).
*we recommend exfoliating after your mask treatment with our Facial Scrub to ensure mask is fully removed from larger pores.

In a small bowl, blend 1/2 teaspoon of your clay mask powder into your “activator” of choice.
Using your mask brush, apply a thin to moderate layer of mask over your face, neck and décolleté (upper back as well if this is an area prone to congestion or other skin issues like psoriasis).
Allow your mask to set until dry (drying time will vary depending on how wet your mask is and how much was applied).
note: Some itchiness can be expected during the mask setting time. In most cases, this is from the drawing of materials and toxins from pores a well as the tightening effect of the clay as it dries. If you experience intense itchiness or burning, remove immediately and completely as you may be experiencing a reaction or your skin may be detoxing too heavily or rapidly.
As a dry powder, you can make our masks fresh with each use which delivers more benefits + eliminates the need for preservatives. A little goes a long way. Just 1/2 tsp (or less) is needed per mask.
See all of the FIG+YARROW Facial Care Protocols here.
Our concentrated dry clay mask blends can be incorporated with any combination of yogurt, honey, teas, aloe water and/or hydrosols for a supremely beneficial skin treatment (see benefits of each mask and “activator” below).
“Activator” options:
Organic Yogurt (dairy or vegan) adds skin nourishing probiotics and skin-conditioningfats.
Organic or local Honey* provides a myriad of proven benefits to skin for reduction of inflammation, youth preservation and wound healing.
Black tea is high in antioxidants and polyphenols that are known to delay the premature aging of our skin.
Green tea provides numerous anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce skin irritation, redness, and swelling.
Herbal Teas offer any number of benefits depending on their respective constituents. You can easily make use of any tea you’re sipping on by adding a dash to your clay mask.
Aloe Water provides a myriad of benefits including expedited healing of wounds, reduction in redness, soothing of skin issues such as burns, eczema, psoriasis, acne, etc.
Hydrosols - born from the steam distillation of botanicals, hydrosols have been found to be as beneficial as they are delicious for skin and overall well-being.
*We highly encourage using only organic and/or local honey to ensure higher standards in the treatment of our generous bees as well a the nutritive/enzymatic value in the honey they provide.
Expiry? As our Clay Mask blends are dry, they may be kept on hand for long durations and used as needed.
