Love Mud

It’s HOT. I’m constantly sweaty and greasy in the facial area now. I wanted to do something nice for my skin, so we’re doing a healing mask this month. Here’s whatcha got in the box!

Bentonite clay

Herbal blend (chamomile to soothe, calendula to heal, helichrysum to reduce inflammation, lavender to calm/antiseptic, red clover to reduce redness and tighten)

Milk, honey, and rose petal blend for after the mud

Cinnamon honey sticks

White quartz star

YAW DIY car freshener (add oil or cologne to scent) with travel protection spell on back

“Message in a bottle” bottle

Rose incense

Plus boxes: Lucky moon charm.

The full moon is on August 11. Put you a jar out on the night of the 10th so you get the max wax (ahahaha) before it starts waning. You’re gonna wanna put about a half cup to a cup of water into said jar. Add the herbs, letting them know you appreciate their help, maybe telling them what you hope from them as they steep overnight. I would honestly do this at dusk and then bring it in at bedtime because I will probably not be up before sunrise. If you do that, it’s fine- just put it in the fridge when you come back in from outside. Leave it in there for 3 days and 3 nights, shaking twice a day (you decide when).

Then strain the herbs out and put them in your compost pile. Wash your face using whatever wash you usually use. Don’t dry your face after you rinse it. Using a tablespoon at a time, add the moon-infused herbal water to the clay to make a paste thin enough to comfortable smear all over your face. Don’t put it in any of your face holes (avoid eyes, nostrils, and mouth). Leave it on til it dries. Post a pic of your crunchy face in the facebook group. Come on Marco and talk to us so we can watch the clay flake off. It’ll be great.

Once it’s dry, take the rest of the herby moon water and mix it with the honey, milk, and rose petals. Make it a thin mixture- add sink water if you need. A drop or 2 of almond oil would probably be really nice as well. Then rinse your mud face with clean water until you get all the grit and mud off. Using your fingers, pat the honey rose milk onto your face and massage lightly.
Then rinse and pat dry. Your face should feel amazing.

Write yourself a tiny little bit of positivity that you want to remember this month. Fold it up all tiny and cram it into the bottle. Put the bottle on top of the white quartz star (to hopefully amplify it) and think about how great you are whenever you pass by the bottle. At the end of the month, empty the jar into your cauldron and burn the paper. Do a new one as often as you like.
