If cat litter was good for your face, don’t you think the big pharmaceutical/cosmetic companies wouldn’t have got a hold of the recipe yet? Also, they recommend “Drops of your favorite essential oil” which is misleading because we know that not every essential oil is good for all skin types and some essential oils can really be bad if not used properly.
