Let's not waste time and let me tell you the recipe for it:

1. 1 tbsp of Bentonite Clay

2. 1 tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar or add until it becomes a thick paste

Mix it with only a non-metal spoon and bowl because the clay reacts with the metal spoon which makes your mask useless!

Disclaimer: Try to patch test some on your face to make sure you're not allergic. But being red and have some tingly sensation on your face is normal so chill girl.

The mask smells horrible and kinda stings so be aware of that. But you'll have great skin in no time. Plus, you'll look like a zombie while doing it and the cleaning process will leave you a crime scene.

Here's some in site of bentonite clay : it is a natural healing clay comprised of minerals and it’s formed from natural volcanic ash. It’s very powerful and produces a negative electric charge when water is added to it, which aids in binding and removing toxins. When you mix water with the clay, the components alter in order to allow it to become a powerful tool to absorb toxins. This clay is commonly used for removing toxins, not only externally on your skin, but it can also work internally, something that many do. So, yes it is safe to consume if you have a good quality bentonite clay. You can use it both internally and externally. Another benefit of the clay is that it is commonly used to remove heavy metals from the body. ( hah I didn't write that, because if it were for me, I would just write "TRUST ME DAT SHETZ GOOD" )

Apple cider vinegar is also known for its abilities of fighting off wrinkles, acne, pimples, blemishes, removing toxins and balancing your skin. Scarlette Johanson uses it as a facial toner so I guess this is pretty amazing right?? By the way, I drink apple cider vinegar every morning because apparently it helps in weight loss and detoxification (but I still ask myself why I torture myself like that because it doesn't taste good cri)

Every single time I take off the mask, my skin feels super tight and smooth. You know those little bumps near your nose and on your chin because of the whiteheads? They freaking disappear! This mask SUCKS the excess sebum and clears your pores, leaving you with exfoliated skin that looks vibrant and healthy! Also, it also prevents breakout so pimpals to pim-enemy! ( ha ha laugh pls im funny ) AND IT HELPS GROW YOUR EYEBROWS ( girlfriends with non-existent eyebrows out there, ya girl gotcha back )

These are the exact products that I've used, but it's fine if you use other brands, just make sure that they are good quality. Since this is not those store-bought mask that costs us RM 100+, why not spend a little bit more on better quality products. Plus, I think this works better than any store-bought mask I've ever used :)

I know you Malaysians want to kill me now because bentonite clay isn't available in most stores. But don't worry, you can purchase it online. I saw Amazon selling the Fuller's Earth Bentonite Clay ( one on the left ) for 5USD. I actually got mine from my sister because she stayed in UK for a bit so she bought it there. She didn't use it much so I took it and searched up some DIY mask recipes and TA-DAA! Legit life-changing guys, so get your hands on it because it is worth every penny.

A famous beauty guru ( @farahdhukai on instagram ) posted a tutorial on this exact face mask so let me link it here for you ( plus she explains it better haha ) :

Anyways, I hope this DIY mask helps and thank you again for all of you that has sent me any type of encouragement and support.
