**Disclaimer: I do not condone selfies, however, it is the only way I knew to show you this awesome stuff. To make myself feel less awkward, I make awkward faces. I am a very logical person, I know. Just be glad I avoided any ridiculousness, like duck face:)
These days I do not get a lot of time to pamper myself, but today I decided to use a birthday gift from my fabulous sister! She sent me Moroccan Lava Clay Powder and Rose Water. If you want to send it to someone you know that needs some pampering, you can find it on Amazon (
Right here!). I used this stuff to make an awesome face mask, but I am sure you can use what you have at home, too!

First, I put the clay powder in a glass bowl and added a drop of Frankincense (well actually 2 drops, I got a little crazy and an extra one slipped out!). I always use glass when I do anything with doTERRA Essential Oils. I could have mixed any EO I wanted with the mask, but I love all the healing properties Frankincense has and it is great for the skin!

Next, I added a little Rose Water until it made a paste. I mixed it with my finger and rubbed the mixture on my face. It smelled fantastic!

The mask began to dry and I really felt things tightening. It also had a slight tingling sensation! Very refreshing! I let it sit for 15 minutes.

To wash off the mask, I just took a shower. I was well overdue for one! These days I spend my showers with a screaming 8 month old, so the removal process was not so pleasant. He seems to think he needs to be inside the shower! Hopefully your shower is more peaceful, I mean we are pampering here! On the plus side, my face felt amazing after my shower! It was super smooth, soft and refreshed! I really think the Frankincense gave it that extra kick!

My first pampering with EOs was a win. I can hardly see the exhausted bags under my eyes from the perpetual lack of sleep (Only for my son, that I love dearly, would I become sleep deprived). I think I will be doing some more face masks in the future... maybe a Lavender one before bed one night. I hope you take some time to pamper, too!
Happy pampering and oil using! -Amy
