  Hi all my face mask drys up after a day and I would like a moist consistency not to dry up. How do I fix this formulation

  30 ml Rose Hydrosol 
  10 ml Glycerin 
  20 ml Almond Oil 
  20 gms Eucalyptus Powder 
  20 gms Bentonite Clay

  What should I do to keep it moist?

  All that bentonite is zapping up all your water there. Use a more inert clay like kaolin and you might also add butylene glycol to retard dessication.

  Thanks. I’ll try that. How about fullers earth? Will that soak water like Bentonite
