Rejuvenate your skin with a tulsi and clay face mask! Making a clay mask using one of the most amazing herbs—tulsi—is simple and fun. Tulsi, also called holy basil, is anti-inflammatory and is soothing to irritated or acne-prone skin. When you pair it with French green clay and Indian red clay, you can create this calming face mask that will leave your skin feeling nourished and soft.
Benefits of Tulsi
Tulsi is a powerful, aromatic plant that belongs to the mint family and is packed with health benefits. For centuries, Tulsi has been known for relieving stress and improving overall health. This cleansing herb is also excellent for removing toxins, cleansing the body, and promoting a sense of clarity.
Tulsi is a wonderful herb to grow. You can add it to salads or other cooked dishes or consume it as a tea. If you don’t have an herbal garden at home, you can also source your tulsi from your local health food store or online.
Why Make a Face Mask?
Face masks are perfect for hydrating your skin and cleansing pores by removing excess dirt and oil. Since the skin is the largest organ in the body, it’s important to care for it well – especially your face.
Adding the cleansing and healing benefits of Tulsi to your face mask is an excellent way to bring a sense of calm and clarity at the same time.
