Suggested Formulation Using Colloidal Oatmeal
This creamy natural face mask is applied to the skin and allowed to dry before rinsing off with tepid water. The emulsion base contains both Colloidal Oatmeal to soothe and calm, along with clay to draw impurities out of the skin. The mask is suitable for those individuals who find simple clay masks too astringent and require a more hydrating option.
