Sheep Milk & Clay Spot Treatment
Sheep milk's uniquely rich lipid content is the key differentiator here versus the book's other clay-based spot treatments (Potato Milk's Recipe 103 and the Charcoal Mask's Recipe 139), it keeps the clay from over-drying the sensitive skin surrounding a deep, inflamed blemish, addressing the blemish itself without damaging the surrounding barrier.
