This was probably my favorite part of the detox box! They sent 8 oz of clay and 1 oz of Rosewater. This is going to last quite a while since it doesn't take much of either for a face mask. Bentonite clay is a powerful healing clay that has the ability to draw out toxins. I would recommend using the face mask in the evening before bed. It was easy to mix up and apply and the Rosewater spritz was very pleasant. Since the mask increases circulation to your face it can make it quite red (thus doing to it before bed is probably best). Immediately afterwards I made sure it put on an intensive moisturizer since my skin was pretty dry. The next morning my skin felt great! I also used this as a poultice on my legs since I have a couple patches of really dry itchy skin. Bentonite clay has so many great uses, very happy this was in the box.
* you want to make sure you are not using metal bowls or utensils with the clay as this will interfere with the electrical charge
I also received all the materials to make a fizzing bath soak. This soak will detox and soften your skin. Dead Sea salts contain 21 minerals that our body needs replenished. They help detoxify and cleanse our bodies. Baking soda is also a detoxing ingredient and it helps soften your skin and the citric acid mixed with it will create the fizzing effect of the soak. I LOVE lavender, it smells great and is relaxing. I do not normally take the time to relax in the bath, however this soak is amazing! I will definitely be taking time to unwind with this. Again they sent enough of the ingredients for several uses as well as a glass storage jar for the extra lavender!
I had no idea there were so many benefits to dandelions! It is amazing that something seen as a weed is actually one of the top 6 herbs in the Chinese herbal medicine chest. Since this is a detox tea I looked into it before trying and it turns out that not only is dandelion tea safe for nursing moms it is actually recommended! I left my tea to steep for quite a while and it got really dark but still had a light flavor. It wasn't bitter like I thought it might be, probably not a taste you will crave but it isn't bad at all. I will definitely make a point to keep drinking this tea with all of the amazing benefits. It was super nice of them to include cute little storage jars for the extra!
I think it is safe to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this box! I liked that all the projects were super simple and didn't take a lot of extra time (so even if you are busy you have time for these!). Being a mom sometimes I don't take as much time for myself so this was a nice treat for me. I am really excited to see what the next Homegrown Collective Greenbox will bring! This is a great box for someone looking into a greener lifestyle. I have been working on being more eco friendly and I love having projects delivered to my door.
