Was just reading an article about using cat litter for a facemask - not sure I fancy it, though it's not exactly disgusting if bought just for that purpose, I s'pose! 
Would you give it a go?
Anyway, I've seen all sorts of substitutes for various things being recommended here, but don't recall this one (apologies if it has and I just missed it).
Would you give it a go? The recipe calls for two spoonfuls of cat litter, combined with water and aloe vera if you want to pep it up – and two spoonfuls made no dent at all on the bag. I am confident I could easily (easily) get 200 spoonfuls from the bag, which would be enough to make 100 cat litter face masks. That gives a price per mask of five and a half pence, which compares pretty favourably with the price of a ready-made facemask.
I added two tablespoonfuls of cat litter to a bowl and added a splash of water before giving it a mix. The concoction made a slightly weird hissing noise as the rocks soaked up the water. Then I blasted it in the microwave for 20 seconds, at which point it was ready to use (although actually rather hot, so be careful).
According to Ms Phan the trick is not to use the rocks, which might harm your skin, but just the cloudy water around them.
