Of Earth + Sea {Seaweed & Blue Clay rejuvenating + brightening face mask}

Of the Sea Blue clay face mask is a gorgeous Ocean blue mask with rejuvenating & gently exfoliating properties. It is hydrating and softening, while at the same time helping to control excess oil production. This mask made my skin feel extremely soft, smooth, bright & hydrated. Amazing for Summer if too much time in the Sun, or elements.

With Cambrian Blue Clay, one of the oldest (500+ million years old!) clays on Earth & Kelp, one of the fastest growing beings on Earth! The combo is really special & the energetics of this mask are felt.

*1oz jar; 10-12 masks per jar depending on amount used - 1/2tsp suggested

May also be supportive for folks with acne, as well as Eczema and Rosacea. High in zinc, iodine, as well as gently hydrating while reducing inflammation. Of course, always taking care when trying new skin routines as we are each unique.

About each Ingredient:

Cambrian Blue Clay is gathered in Serbia from salt lakes formed over 500 million years ago! It is rich in iron, magnesium, zinc & algae, contributing to it’s beautiful colour. Blue Clay is detoxifying to the skin, without being overly drying. Also anti-microbial & anti-inflammatory. Blue Clay may help boost circulation and cellular turnover, while also minimizing appearance of fine lines. Reminding us that time is not linear, it is gift to age in these beautiful human bodies, and to hold this perspective of knowing our time here is brief ~ to focus on what is truly important, being present to each moment + breath.

Kelp is one of my favourite Kin & especially for all things topical + skin related. They are rich in vital nutrients & minerals, feeding and nourishing the skin. They are also hydrating. Ensuring the skin stays hydrated is a key aspect to healthy, plump, glowing skin. Kelp contains a constituent called Fucoidan, a polysaccharide, that may be helpful for increasing collagen synthesis as well as elastin production.

Kelp also may be anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory. Rich in iodine which may be helpful for acne prone skin and protection. They are one of the fastest growing beings on Earth, reminding us of the vitality, and again the paradox of time.

Papaya contains an enzyme called Papain which exfoliates the skin and gets rid of dead skin cells. Leaving the skin feeling smooth. Papaya also contains carotenoids which help fight free radical (environmental + sun) damage, as well as increase collagen production and elastin production (elastin helps to keep the skin’s integrity and tightness & diminishes with age, pollution, excess Sun exposure). It is also hydrating to the skin, think of the juiciness of Papaya, mmmm. 

Gotu Kola is a beautiful Plant kin that is anti-inflammatory and wonderful for improving circulation, potentially bringing more blood flow to the skin. Increasing circulation is important for skin’s overall health and vitality as blood brings nourishment to the cells. Gotu Kola has also been shown to help boost collagen production. May be supportive in some inflammatory skin conditions such as Eczema, to soothe, repair & reduce inflammation.

I find working with this mask helps increase absorption of whatever serums, moisturizers or oils you may be working with after. The gentle exfoliation removes dead skin so that the serums may actually penetrate the skin.

How to work with Of Earth + Sea mask: There are many ways to work with this mask as it is in powder form. I love mixing Of the Sea with raw Honey & Hydrosols for the perfect texture and added benefits. Honey is also gently exfoliating and humectant, smoothing and hydrating the skin. And the Hydrosols will impart whatever healing properties they imbue. In this way you can also customize the face mask for what your skin needs, which likely also changes with the Seasons. 

Play around with the ratios & consistency you prefer, aiming for a soft spreadable consistency. 

1/2 tsp mask, 1/4 tsp Honey {Lilac + Fir Honey is what I have been using}, and 1/4 tsp Hydrosol or Spring Water {I use Sun Child Hydrosol, you may also like Rose or even Witch Hazel for more astringency}. Mix well & use immediately. Once made, can store in fridge, covered, for 2 days if needed.

Can also experiment with other liquids such as Yogurt or adding some apple cider vinegar. May also be added to water for a beautiful and grounding foot bath, or make a body scrub with Sugar + Oil of choice and a Teaspoon of Of Earth + Sea.
