I agree with the Chamomile! A few years ago, I burned my face with a so called home mini peel. I steeped about ten bags of tea, and put it in the fridge until it was really cold. Then I put a face cloth in the tea and layed that across my face. When the face cloth got body temp, I re-soaked it in the cool tea. It really helped.

I never thought to use tea bags, that is way cheaper than buying pure chamomile.
For a good face mask, try using Benonite clay. Here is our suppliers description of it.
Useful on oily skin. Excellent oil absorbing properties. Thought to remove acne causing toxins from the skin and revitalize tired skin. Very soft clay. All Natural.
This is what I use, it cleans awesome and tightens your skin. You just mix a little distilled water with it into a paste and smear it on your face and let dry then rinse off. I add a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil to mine but it's not necassary.
Oh and you can usually find Benonite Clay in a health food store, although I buy mine from a manufacturer we have also bought ours locally in the bulk section of the health food stores.

Hmm... I've never heard of that line before. Do you add water to the clay solution? I'd guess they have dehydrated carrot puree in the mix. Carrot is very good for your skin years ago I made it in my soaps when I was first starting out, just veered away from it. Perhaps I should give that a try again.

I get Yes to Carrots at Walgreen's. I think you can get it in kits/bulk on HSN....its very clean, and it does not break the bank. They have a web site.
Thanks... I had went to their website the other day after talking to you, they have some interesting ideas old ones that I had forgotten about when I first started learning all about facial and body care products. I didn't see any products with clay in them though... I wonder if they have discontinued what it is that you are using?? I saw alot with dead sea salt and I think Cal. Sea Salt? Those are awesome to use in body scrubs, I use them all the time in the summer, winter I use the Almond Oil and EO's mixed and just pour all over in the shower... I am out of Almond oil right now so I've switched to Cherry Kernel Oil but it's not as heavy and I like the Almond better but for someone with nut allergies like Bluebirds dd, the Cherry Kernel oil would be a better choice.
