In Greek mythology, Cronos(Kronus) was the King of the Twelve Titans and the God of Time. Cronos was the youngest son of Uranus and Gaea(Gaia) and played a crucial role in the creation of the known Universe. (You'll have to read our Cappy blog post for more juicy details!)

Ingredient Highlights:
Premium organic cranberry fruit powder contains high levels of powerful antioxidants that support skin structure and promote cell turnover. It’s particularly high in a compound called gallic acid which acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory, reducing redness, dark spots, evening out skin tone and hyperpigmentation. 
Besides the fact that turmeric is naturally gold, it can help bring out your natural glow. By reducing dark spots and hyperpigmentation, your skin looks naturally even and radiant, while also reducing inflammation and killing off bacteria that inflames the skin.
Antioxidant-rich hibiscus is known as "nature's Botox" because the anthocyanins stimulate elastin production, tighten skin and repair sun-damaged skin. In addition, hibiscus, being a member of the mallow family, is rich in mucilage, which helps to lock in moisture to ensure the skin stays smooth and hydrated.
A combination of soothing rose clay and gentle kaolin clay absorb impurities, repair damaged skin, soothe irritation and inflammation, enhance skin elasticity, brighten the complexion and leave skin looking and feeling softer, smoother and more supple.
Allantoin, derived from the prized healing comfrey plant, reinforces the skin's protective barrier, acts as a moisturizing emollient to soothe dry, irritated skin and improve moisture retention, and reduces redness. Allantoin is also keratolytic, which means it exfoliates dead skin cells and rejuvenates the complexion. 
Calendula powder is our favorite skincare herb with a dizzying array of helpful skincare actions!  Unsurpassed anti-inflammatory properties and a vital skin repair hero. It also acts as a super hydrator and leaves skin feeling soft and supple.
CoQ10 - this powerful antioxidant can stimulate collagen and elastin production for firmer skin, brightens and evens skin tone, and reduces the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles.
Tapioca starch, derived from the cassava root, possesses intensive hydrating, softening and balancing properties and continuously works to improve the skin’s ability to retain moisture. It’s also gentle on the skin and has a soft, silky texture.
We’ve also added a modest amount of blood orange essential oil for its clarifying effects, along with soothing bergamot (bergaptene-free) and a touch of sebum-regulating ylang ylang essential oils for a nice balance.

The greatest benefit of a clay mask? You get the option to completely customize it for your skin type by choosing the activator (liquid) that works best for you! 
 
How to Use: First wash your face to ensure it’s clean. Using a wooden spoon (no metal!), scoop out approx. a teaspoon of the mask mixture into a glass or ceramic bowl. To activate your mask, add one or more of the following liquids to fully customize your mask.  
•    filtered/distilled water 
•    hydrosol of your choice (we reccomend rose, geranium, lavender, calendula, neroli or chamomile)
•    cooled green tea or herbal tea of your choice (chamomile, nettle, calendula, etc) for a mineral and antioxidant rich mask
•    apple cider vinegar or witch hazel for an astringent mask (oily/acneic skin)
•    aloe vera juice/gel (sensitive/mature/dry skin)
•    honey and aloe for a moisturizing, enzyme rich mask (dry/sensitive skin)
•    yogurt for a cooling, probiotic mask (dry/sensitive skin) 
•    1-2 pumps of your favorite facial oil for a deeply replenishing mask (dry/sensitive/mature)
Start with a teaspoon (equal proportion to your clay) and add by the drop until you get a nice paste consistency. You don’t want your mask to be too thick, as you want to apply a thin layer across your entire face and neck. But you also don’t want it to be too runny or it won’t stick. 

When your mask is the appropriate consistency, test a small amount on the inside of your wrist to ensure your skin doesn’t react.  Apply a thin layer of the mask with your fingertips over your face and neck, avoiding delicate eye and lip areas. A mask brush or large foundation brush provides an even application. Leave the mask on for 5-15 minutes. Spritz your face with water or toner to keep the mask moist. Continue to spritz every time you feel the mask reaching the dry phase so that you can keep the mask on for the maximum time. But don't exceed the recommended time as there is no added benefit.  Follow your instincts – if the mask starts to feel uncomfortable, you can remove it.  It will start to feel sticky as it dries, and this sticky phase is the time to remove it. Once it is dry (or before, if it isn’t drying quickly due to being on very thick), rinse your mask off with lukewarm water and blot gently with a damp cloth to remove mask completely. Spray skin with toner and follow up with your favorite moisturizer. 

To target blemishes, mix 1tsp of the mask mix with enough lemon juice to make a paste. Apply to entire face or as a spot treatment directly to blemishes. You may wish to add a drop of tea tree oil to the paste for added effectiveness. Wash off after 5 minutes. 

Follow up your mask application with a toner or moisturizer. We recommend using weekly. Understand that a consistent routine of masking weekly will have the most profound effect on your complexion and improve your skin over time, without any side effects. We are proponents of the slow and steady approach as it yields long term results and supports optimal skin health. I recommend setting aside a special time of your least busiest day of the week and taking a self-care time-out.
