Body & Soul: Kelp Clay Mask

<p>
<em>Makes 2 ounces<br />
</em>Kelp is a large leafy, brown algae that grows along cold-climate coastlines. It can bring a healthy glow to your complexion when used as a facial mask and makes a mineral-rich body scrub when mixed with equal parts sea salt. </p>
<ul>
<li>1 tablespoon dried kelp powder</li>
<li>1 tablespoon white kaolin clay</li>
<li>1 tablespoon plain yogurt or sour cream </li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>In a small bowl, mix ingredients to create a smooth paste. If mixture is too thick, add 1 to 2 teaspoons water.</li>
<li>To use, spread onto clean skin and wait 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. Follow with your favorite facial moisturizer or natural oil.</li>
</ol>
