DIY Mud Masks
You can find every type of clay online without having to spend an arm and a leg.
Now that you’ve got a clay to work with, you’re ready to make a mud mask! There are plenty of ingredients you can use to create your mask.
Here are some simple recipes for mud masks that will leave you with smooth, radiant skin!
1) APPLE CIDER VINEGAR MUD MASK
2 tablespoons of clay
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
With just two ingredients, this mask is the perfect place to start if you’re DIY masking for the first time.
Mud mixtures that seem too thin can be thickened up by adding a tiny extra pinch of clay. If your mixture seems too thick, just add a few extra drops of apple cider vinegar. It’s that easy!
2) YOGURT MUD MASK
2 tablespoons of clay
1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon of warm water
We love Greek yogurt because it’s one of our 27 best anti-aging foods as well as the primary ingredient in yogurt face masks. And when yogurt and clay combine, they become an unstoppable force of skin-healing power.
3) LEMON JUICE MUD MASK
2 tablespoons of clay
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of warm water
The citric acid in lemon juice makes this the perfect mask for oily skin types. But if your skin tends to be on the dry side, this isn’t the mask for you.
4) HONEY MUD MASK
2 tablespoons of clay
1 tablespoon of honey
1 tablespoon of warm water
Sticky as it might be, honey is a fabulous ingredient for a mud mask. It’s a natural antioxidant and helps keep moisture locked into your skin. A terrific option for dry skin types!
5) FRUIT AND VEGGIE MUD MASK
2 tablespoons of clay
2 tablespoons of fruit or vegetable puree
½ tablespoon of warm water (if needed)
For this mud mask, you can use cucumber, coconut, papaya, avocado, or strawberries. Just pick your favorite and give it a try! You may need to add a little more or slightly less water to get the consistency right.
6) ACTIVATED CHARCOAL MUD MASK
1 tablespoon of clay
1 tablespoon of activated charcoal
2 tablespoons of warm water
You’ve probably heard about activated charcoal masks and all their amazing benefits. When teamed up with clay, charcoal makes a mud mask that will rid your skin of every last toxin and blackhead.
7) WHOLE-MILK MUD MASK
2 tablespoons of clay
2 tablespoons of whole milk
Similar to yogurt, whole milk is a terrific addition to a mud mask because the lactic acid helps remove dead skin cells and excess oil. This mask is suitable for all skin types.
8) ALOE VERA MUD MASK
2 tablespoons of clay
1 tablespoon of aloe vera
1 tablespoon of warm water
Ahh, aloe vera, what can’t you do well? There are tons of aloe vera masks you can try, but an aloe vera mud mask is always a smart choice.
9) ESSENTIAL OILS MUD MASK
2 tablespoons of clay
1½ tablespoons of warm water
A few drops of essential oil
There are plenty of essential oils to choose from for this recipe, but we’re particularly fond of lavender, chamomile, fennel, and rosemary.
10) GREEN TEA MUD MASK
2 tablespoons of clay
2 tablespoons of warm green tea
Green tea is a strong antioxidant, so it’s naturally beneficial in mud masks. Simply steep some green tea, let it cool, and mix it with your favorite clay!
