I spent 3 months in a ditch getting coated day in day out 12 hours a day 6 days a week in various coloured ground clays (white, black, grey, green, blue, orange, red) and without a word of a lie it was the most amazing my face had ever been. No excess oil, no pimples or blackheads. I actually had woman asking me what i used to get such clear skin
Ha, that is so cool! I wonder if she had the commitment to adopt your method đ€
This is a great DIY clay mask apart from the essential oil which can be highly irritating and sensitising. Also, you do seem to be scrubbing your face very harshly with the face towel hence why your face looks red afterwards. You can use a face sponge instead to gently swipe away the clay and then wash off with water. After that pat dry with your face towel instead of rubbing :)
These are great videos, and really fun to watch. Very informative, they look very professional, and you are also personable and have a sense of humor! I'm quickly working my way through all your videos, and can't wait to see more :)
Thank you so much! :D
I read clay works as it's drying, and should be washed off before it's fully dried cause its no longer effective and only dries out the skin. Also read that you can extend the effective period by misting throughout, but definitely wash off before dried out. Quick tip. :)
Thanks - just watched you and tired it and it worked amazingly:)
The recipe seems good, but is absolutely not good to wait until the masks dry. There is definitely such a thing as leaving a mask on to long. 10 to 15 min is the max. It sucks all the natural oils out of yr face.
Why not ? it is a 15 minutes and do not talk while the mask, only for teaching. Use no more than one in a week or better after 15 days, unless is for acne or other type of problem. On the body according to illness treatment. Clay is very good but can over dry skin.
I love making masks too! I've never thought of putting oil in them. I usually just use clays and witch hazel. My skin loves sea buckthorn oil so I will have to try that! Thanks Marie!
The oil helps keep the mask from getting too tight, which can be really nice if you have more sensitive or dry skin :) Happy making and thanks for watching!
hi
what can one use to make the mask last longer or have long shelf life?
Is witch hazel a good additive for mask? I have some with rose oil already in it.
Kindly tell me which clay u use
@@zubedadahir119 I make them up as needed. You can try preserving the mask to see if that would extend the shelf life. I use Liquid Germall Plusâs for preservation.
Hi. I love all of ur videos so far. I was wondering if I can use the cotton type cut out mask over this mask to make it easier to remove???
Hi Marie, may i ask, is it okay to mix in a face mask for oily skin, bentonite, dead sea, french green clay with niacinamide and alpha arbutin? What ratio should i use?
Thanks in advanced đ
Hmmm it's a rainy day here in The Netherlands and im tired and in need... of exactly this! My skin will be so gratefull, Im sure. Thank you so much for your awesome recipes! I just found your site a few months ago and I love it!
I just don't know what good subsitute carrier oils are for this purpose? I have jojoba-, sweet almond- and also olive-/ sesame-/ and coconutoil.
Hey Suhela! Thanks so much for reading and watching :) I've got an article on carrier oil alternatives/substitutions here: www.humblebeeandme.com/a-guide-to-carrier-oil-substitutions/. All the ones you mentioned would work, but I'd probably choose jojoba or sweet almond :) Happy making!
I have watched thousands of videos for DIY soap and skin care. You are my favorite. I love the way you describe all your ingredients and what they are good for. You are a delight to watch. I am so looking forward to your new book. Yes I signed up for it through my personal CZcams account. I wanted to wish you good luck in all your future endeavors. Keep the videos coming please. God bless you!
Wow, thank you so much! I'm beyond flattered :D Happy making and thanks so much for your support and kind words!

Hi Marie! I'd like to give this face mask to some of my coworkers for a christmas present and I was wondering if i could bottle or jar it to keep if I add some preservative (nipaguard here in australia)? I think maybe there would be a splitting problem because of the water/oil but I have E.wax NF and could make a little emulsion maybe? I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this before I go ahead with experiments :)
I've got a whole FAQ on this :) www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/can-i-mix-up-a-big-batch-of-this-face-mask-and-use-it-later/
I've also got a designed-to-be-gifted face mask here: www.humblebeeandme.com/snowflake-face-mask-mix/ :)
Hi, maria can you use any type of oil or maybe it has it's own specific oil
If we want to sell this.. can we add Liquid Germall Plus for Longer shelf life?
Also, I have a question.. how much Liquid germall plus increases the life of a product?
Can I add a skin safe preservative and storage this for months?
So easy thanks
That was lovely and funny to watch 5 yrs after you made this video
Hi , can this be made and used days later ? Or will it dry out
I love a good mask. I usually make mine with charcoal and bentonite clay. The warm cloth feels amazing when you first put it on right!? Lol anyway...quick tip before you put the carrier oil back on your face after rinsing off the mask run cold water on your cloth and wrap it around your face to close your pores to help prevent blemishes! One more extra step that works wonders...learned that in high school cosmetology đđđ
You can't beat the feel of post-mask-face! Regarding pores opening and closing, though-I learned last year that's just not a thing :) Google "do pores open and close?" for lots of articles on how that's a really common misconception.
Humblebee & Me No you can not đ. But thanks for that little tid bit, I will for sure look that up! đ€đ
Thank you. Could you recommend a different carrier oil please? I have ton of different oils which seems daft to buy something in. Thanks
www.humblebeeandme.com/a-guide-to-carrier-oil-substitutions/ :)
Can I use a preservative for this mask?
Thanks for the video. Can I make a batch ahead of time and store it in a small jelly jar or ball jar?
Hey! You'll find the answer to your question in my FAQ on my website at humblebeeandme.com/faq/ đHappy making!
Hi. I just started using french green clay. I find it difficult to remove properly washing just by hands. It leaves a layer of green clay on my face. I have to use a cloth to wipe hard to get it all.
I use 2 tbsp clay + 1.5 tsp of water. Consistency was similar to your vid.
I've used Morocco red clay, and have no issues removing withy hands.
Is this only with french green clay?
Thanks. Love your channel.
I always use a washcloth to remove clay masks-I find it's necessary to get everything off :)
Can I change the french green clay with pink clay?
Hi! If i make these and save the rest in a jar would it go bad after a few weeks? If so, can i preserve it with optiphen?
Also how much of a preservative would i need for a 2oz product? Im always very confused for preservatives but i dont want any nasties showing up overime.
We cannot safely preserve clay masks at home-there is simply too much bug food. Please give the Preservatives section of my FAQ a read to learn more :) www.humblebeeandme.com/faq/
Sometimes you can't beat the classics. I don't usually set out to dry out my skin, but sometimes you need a deep pore decongestion, and nothing does that like an oil-less or low-oil clay mask. I have a jar in the bathroom with 89% green clay, 10% honey powder, and 1% aloe powder. My usual emulsified clay mask wasn't getting deep enough, and this stuff delivered. Follow it up with moisturizer, and no harm done by the drying. A little oil is nice for keeping it from shedding off the face as it dries, but I was out of my oil-inclusive powdered masks and I just couldn't be bothered at the moment. But the weather is warming up, so it's time to make fresh batches. Also, a tip for people with combo skin or who don't tolerate much drying: you can just put the mask in the spots that need it. I usually limit these to my nose and chin.
Thank you ,,
Do you have to use French clay or can you just use normal clay?
Can this be stored for a long time
Do u recommend green clay. Or where to buy
Is the whisk you are stirring with metal ? if so, dooooooooooon't do that! clay absorbs all metals! Always use a plastic or a wooden spoon when handling clay.
also, if you wait 10 till 15 minutes why the mask is still a little wet the redness won't appear as much but the clay will still do it's work (it's active when wet)
From all the reading and research I've done (which is quite a lot!) all I can find is that bentonite clay, when mixed with water, has a charge that can be interfered with when put in contact with metal with an opposing charge. All the other "absorbs metal" information I've found has been "chemicals are evil" blogger fear mongering with no scientific evidence to back it up. If you have any proper studies and scientific info to share I would love to see it! I've been looking for good resources supporting or debunking this and have found nothing reputable.
doi.org/10.1016%2Fj.jhazmat.2006.03.051
David Caubergh why
As long as you dont use a whisk made from lead or arsenic or any other heavy metal that no-one has every made a utlensil from, then you should be fine. The clays sorbent qualities for toxic metals is why we use it. Did you even read the study abstract you sited??? Lol.
You are really brave to post that thumbnail!!!! Awesome!
How often should I do this
How important is Allantoin in a mask? Does it really matter if i leave it out as i have all the other ingredients & want to get started! Maybe there's a substitute? Thank you!
You can definitely just leave it out-it would be more important in a leave-on thing like a serum or lotion, but even then it's not going to make or break a recipe :)
Do I need the seed oil
"Snookie Orange!" Haha! That should be a self tanner color!
Hello. I have some clay mask (French green clay and Fuller's earth). From my understanding, they're both have a pH of 7-8. If I decided to mix either of these with water, how much would be needed?
Start with 1 tsp of water and whisk in small amounts of clay until you've reached a consistency you like; that'll give you enough for a single face mask.
Thank you!
Beautiful...!!!!
Thank you! đ
The tip about the carrier oil was super helpful! Thank you
I learned that one the greasy clods way ;) Happy to help and thanks for watching!
Can you add bentonite clay powder and charcoal powder together in water and tea tree oil for severe acne?
You can, but if you are looking to genuinely address severe acne I'd really recommend this blog: simpleskincarescience.com
Oh it works thank you sis you look like Jeon Somi; >
How long will it keep if a small container is made or is it best to make one mask at a time.
Make one mask at a time-you might get a day or two of shelf life and there's no need to do that many face masks that frequently.
If this is to be given to friends and family, we do need to add preservative right? And if yes in what quantity?
I've got an FAQ on this: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/can-i-mix-up-a-big-batch-of-this-face-mask-and-use-it-later/ :)
how long do you think this will keep in the fridge if i do it in more quantity?
Maybe 3 days? It's really not worth it to make more; just make it when you need it.
Can this be made in large batches and put into a jar? If so, how long will it last?
Hey! You'll find the answer to your question in my FAQ on my website at humblebeeandme.com/faq/ đHappy making!
If making in bulk and storing will I need to add a preservative?
Hey! You'll find the answer to your question in my FAQ on my website at humblebeeandme.com/faq/ đHappy making!
Please suggest me best brand for green clay in India please do reply...
I have no knowledge about brands of clay sold in India, I'm afraid.
Thanks I love masks ..
Me too! Thanks for watching :)

is it ok to grab clay with metal stuff? most people say it is better if u do it with plastic or wood
It is; what do you think clay is mined with? :) I interviewed an expert and asked him about this and the general gist was that there are some situations in which metal + clay isn't ideal, but those circumstances are also ones where you wouldn't want the mixture anywhere near your skin. You can read more here: www.humblebeeandme.com/bentonite-clay-and-diy-beauty/. Happy making!
Thanks so much,Please how long will stay without getting spoil?
Maybe 2 days? It is a single use DIY :)
You are adorable. And oh...great channel! :)
Thank you! :)
Could I use bentonite clay instead of French green clay?
I really don't recommend it-czcams.com/video/BRqdFwwAaR0/video.html. French green clay is much more like kaolin than bentonite.
Can i add ehgp as preservative?
Do a CTRL+F for " Preservative 12" here: www.makingskincare.com/preservatives/. It sounds like quite a tricky preservative to work with, though effective. In any event, home makers should not attempt to preserve hydrated clay masks as they are extremely difficult to safely preserve due to their extremely high levels of bug food: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/can-i-mix-up-a-big-batch-of-this-face-mask-and-use-it-later/. Hope that helps!
what prervative would u use?
I wouldn't-as presented, this MUST be a single use product. I have an entire FAQ on this here: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/can-i-mix-up-a-big-batch-of-this-face-mask-and-use-it-later/ :)
Humblebee & Me thank you for responding. Iâve seen many different skin blogs add a preservative to the masks they make and sell, which is why I thought it would be okay. So you wouldnât recommend adding any preservative to a mix of clay mask at all?
Is a preservative necessary if I plan to store this?
www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/can-i-mix-up-a-big-batch-of-this-face-mask-and-use-it-later/ :)
can i use bentonite clay instead?
czcams.com/video/BRqdFwwAaR0/video.html :)
Good job I like your channel l can see you dont respond to people questions
Can you use sunflower oil?
Yup!
Hye , do you have any tips to make it in powder mixture to make it long lasting since clay is so hard to handle if we mix it with presevative . Correct me if im wrong . Thank you .
I've got an FAQ on this :) www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/can-i-mix-up-a-big-batch-of-this-face-mask-and-use-it-later/
Hi nice tutorial. I recently purchased green clay and got told to use plastic spoon whilst making a paste. Hope that helps.
Hey! From all my reading there's really no reason to limit yourself to plastic with any clay other than Bentonite, which does have a charge when combined with water that metal can interfere with.
Humblebee & Me
Thanks.
www.humblebeeandme.com/bentonite-clay-and-diy-beauty/
Did you wet your face before applying the mask?
I wash my face with water and soap before doing a face mask but it depends on you're skin!
Could I use kaolin clay instead of green clay?
Yup!
Butter effects?
lovely, Beautiful N funny .. awesome video Hun xXđ
Thanks for watching!
Welccome hun xX :)
I was thinking of making this as a Christmas present for the women in my life. Will it go rancid? What do you think is the shelf life? Also I wanted to suggest that Using Vitamin E oil after a mask is great!

is this clay mask good for adult acne?
It certainly can be, but I would also recommend reading this blog: simpleskincarescience.com. It's fantastic!
I love your clay maskâ„ïž
Thanks!
From where we get the clay

Can i store this and how long the shelf life
Hey! You'll find the answer to your question in my FAQ on my website at humblebeeandme.com/faq/ (look for the one on mixing up big bathes of clay masks) đHappy making!
Thank you!
How far we can store this?
Maybe 2-3 days in the fridge?
Can I use yellow clay?
Yup!
Hi
Can we store it for many days?
Maybe 3 days?
Can I save this or do I need a preservative?
I've got an FAQ on this: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/can-i-mix-up-a-big-batch-of-this-face-mask-and-use-it-later/
Yes, you will need a preserveative because you are using water.
Is green clay the same as bentonite clay?
No, definitely not. You can learn more in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) đ
Which clay is this?its greyish in color
You'll find the answer to your question in the description box below the video :) Happy making!
You are super smart and super adorable !
Aww, thank you! :)
wow............. so simple huh
Yeah! There's lots of room for customization but face masks definitely don't have to be complicated :)
I call my subbies bees as well

can u diy an australlian pink clay mask that is on viral right now? they said that they sell it too expensive but when u do it its too cheap
I think I already did, back in 2018? Search "pink clay" @ www.humblebeeandme.com/search :)
Can u apply moisturizer afterwards? Or would it defeat the purpose
Definitely do! You'll likely be rather uncomfortable if you don't :)
Humblebee & Me thAnks
My skin is more on the drier side so im really worried about using any kind of clay. What can i use ????
You might be more of a sheet mask person-www.humblebeeandme.com/rose-silk-hydrating-sheet-mask/ :)
Is this recipe good to make and sell ?
Why ur face turned red
Can you tell me how to identify real french green clay? I want to try this mask but never know anything about clay >
From a geologist: A microfraction x-ray defraction will identify the composition of the different clays in the clay, and you can then cross reference that with the approximate standard for French green clay.
From my aunt: It will speak French!
From me: Purchase it from a reputable supplier :)
I saw that some CZcamsrs are using glue to peel off masks. I imagine that glues are not very face-friendly and wondering whether there are any natural ingredients that would have the same effect. Thanks.
Yeah, I would agree with you in the not-putting-glue-on-my-face category. I believe some sort of seaweed derived gelling agent is used for peel-off masks, but I haven't looked into it too much. I'll keep my eye out for the key ingredient so I can play with it!
make your own glue from cornstarch or flower. Loads of recipes on yt
I'm sure this mask works great for you - you know your body! But just a note for everyone trying this from a licensed esthetician/skin therapist... please research your skin type and ingredients before you make something up. It is important to know WHY you are using certain ingredients and how they effect your skin. Clay masks are not good for all skin types. Certain oils can be pore clogging, and many essential oils should not be used topically on the skin.
Yes! Also, different types/colors of clay. It is a good attempt to show a natural face mask, but indeed, every skin is different therefore needs specific oil and specific clay.
đ»đ»đ»đ»đ»đ»đ»đ»đ»đ»đ»
Good mix but do not use any metal to prepare it. Only wood , but if not wood plastic is ok.
Thankfully, this isn't true :) What do you think clay is mined with? I interviewed a professor of geology about this myth and he debunked it: www.humblebeeandme.com/bentonite-clay-and-diy-beauty/. Happy making!
Thank you for the video.
Ps : never let the clay dry on your face, it damage your skin you can have a little "pshit" handy with water or tonner to avoid that.
That's interesting-do you have any sources to back that up? I've never heard it before.
There is a lot of sources with a little research ^^
agelessbeautyblog.blogspot.fr/2015/01/how-not-to-apply-clay-mask.html?m=1
Not the only
And commun sense: its tears the skin so it's can't be good
Earth! hehe
Ok listen up I have been applying hard clay masks since I was 12. You must lay on a slant board when wearing a heavy clay mask. For the 20 minutes your facial muscles will stay in place if not the heaviness of the mask will eventually drag your face down. Keep in mind your muscles have memory this includes your facial muscles. Gravity will drag your face down especially with a heavy mask
the whisk is cute but its metal, use wooden spoon instead
I have worked with and researched clays for years, and the only clay I've ever read reacts at all with metal is bentonite, and that is only when wet, and only with metals with an opposing charge. And even then, the only property that is compromised is the charge, it's not an all-or-nothing loses all properties thing. Do you have a reliable source?
www.humblebeeandme.com/bentonite-clay-and-diy-beauty/
why dont you guys just wash things away? ın turkey we never use washcloths for our face. they are too harsh for face I believe. just wash stuff away in sink.
But I like u anyway though
If had done more research you would have known that you cannot use metal with green clay, it lose her properties
I have worked with and researched clays for years, and I have never come across this assertion.

Saria looks like it's YOU who should have done more research lol
dont mix clay with metal tools
Thanks for watching!
I actually interviewed an expert about the "no metals with clay" thing and he confirmed it's a myth. You can read more here: www.humblebeeandme.com/bentonite-clay-and-diy-beauty/.
Something else to think about; clay is mined with metal tools, and that doesn't ruin it :)
Dont talk while u have applied this mask
Why did she stick her tongue out it freaked me out
You shouldn't talk with your clay mask on
The entire video length it was making me extremely uncomfortable how she was making faces even when the mask was drying. She was trying to be fun but others imitating or following her would end up with more damage than good while doing the same.
You get more wrinkles on your face because you talking when you put face marks ,,it's not good,
Sanju.nadee84 Nadee i guess she talk during the mask on this video lol...
Never ever heard of that......
Don't stir it with metal, metal will remove all the nutrients out of the clay
Thankfully that's not true, though it's sure a pervasive myth! I asked an expert-you can read our interview here: www.humblebeeandme.com/bentonite-clay-and-diy-beauty/
