This mask is composed largely of green clay, which is the most drawing clay. Clay absorbs excess sebum and dirt from the skin, leaving you feeling refreshed and clean.

Blending Procedure:

1. Beat egg white until slightly stiff. Add lemon juice and stir to combine.
   
   
2. In a separate bowl, slightly warm the rose hydrosol in the microwave or a double boiler. Add the honey to the rose hydrosol and stir to dissolve. Add the mashed strawberry and stir well to thoroughly combine.
   
   
3. Add the honey/rose/strawberry mixture to the lemon juice mixture and stir to form a liquid that is lightly gel-like.
   
   
4. Begin adding clay, one teaspoon at a time, stirring after each addition. The clay will begin to thicken the mixture. Add only enough clay to produce a wet and smooth, spreadable paste.
   
   
5. Once the mixture is smooth, add the essential oils and stir to combine. To use, smooth a layer of mask over clean face and neck. Rest for 10-15 minutes. Avoid eye areas. If your skin is especially sensitive, omit the essential oils. Rinse well with warm water and pat excess water from face and neck. Follow with toner and moisturizer. This mask may also be used on your back.
