What It Does
- Gently detoxifies and brightens the skin
- Softens rough, pigmented knees
- Soothes irritation and helps tone with regular use
- A ritual you can do 1–2 times a week, simple self-care, Ayurveda style
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons bentonite clay (natural detox clay)
- 1 tablespoon fuller’s earth (helps absorb impurities and brighten)
- 1–2 teaspoons orange peel powder (gentle exfoliation + natural brightness)
- ½ teaspoon neem powder (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory)
- Enough aloe vera gel to make a spreadable mask
How To Use
- Mix bentonite clay and fuller’s earth in a clean bowl.
- Add orange peel powder and neem powder. Stir.
- Gradually add aloe vera gel until it forms a paste — not too runny, not too stiff.
- Clean the knees, pat dry.
- Apply the mask thickly over knees; leave for 12–15 minutes.
- Rinse off gently with lukewarm water. If needed, use a soft cloth.
- Follow with a nourishing oil or light moisturiser to seal in softness.
Tips & Variations
- Patch test first if your skin is sensitive.
- Very dry skin? Add a few drops of cold-pressed coconut or jojoba oil to the mix.
- For extra exfoliation, massage the paste gently while rinsing (circular motions).
- You can also use this mask on elbows or knuckles.
- Use warm (not hot) water when washing off to avoid excess dryness.
Why These Ingredients
- Bentonite clay draws out impurities, balances oil, and refines texture.
- Fuller’s earth evens tone, removes dead skin, and gives a soft, matte finish.
- Orange peel powder adds gentle exfoliation with vitamin-C goodness to help fade dark patches.
- Neem soothes and supports skin health.
- Aloe vera cools and hydrates — balancing clays that can be drying.
When to Use & Ritual Tips
- Best done at night, once or twice per week.
- Start with clean skin — no heavy creams or oils before applying.
- Make it mindful: light a candle, play soft music, breathe.
- Always moisturise afterwards, even if skin feels a little tight.
Final Thoughts
This Neela Detox Clay Knee Mask is an easy, beautiful way to restore softness and brightness to a part of the body that often gets neglected. Regular use will help with tone, texture, and that just-polished feeling — no harsh chemicals required.
