Treat Yourself to a Mud Bath at Home

One of my favorite steps in the many processes administered during a spa facial is the part where the aesthetician paints a thick mud mask on your face and when they take it off your skin just feels amazingly soft and moisturized. I had the opportunity to try Auromere’s Rejuvenating Mud Bath & Mask and it is like giving yourself a spa mud mask at home!

The Auromere Mud Bath uses an acient Ayurveda recipe, which comes from “the holistic science in India which aims at a total harmony of Mind, Life, Body and Spirit in balance with nature’s rhythms and the world around us.” The recipe has been passed down for generations and is created from 12 herbs and 4 kinds of clay that each have specific healing and rejuvenating properties.
The Herbomineral Mud Math comes as a powder that you mix with water to create a thin mud paste. You are provided with a little measuring spoon and the cap is used as the mixing bowl, so it is not too complicated. The process is a little bit messy, though, so make sure that you have a washcloth that you don’t mind getting muddy and a spray bottle on hand before you start! You can cover as much of your body as you would like with the herbomineral mud. Massage the granular formula into your skin for a relaxing effect. It feels pretty great on your skin! Keep the mud moist while it is soaking in by spritzing with water every minute or so and then scrub off when you are finished.

I used the herbomineral mud as a facial treatment mask and it felt pretty amazing! My skin was super soft and moisturized when I was done and the whole experience definitely reminded me of getting a spa facial. The directions have a long list of interesting special uses that range from headache and lower backache to dental care and eyewash!
