Good to know!

Avoid using aluminum containers when working with clay as aluminum can alter its properties. Favour wood, glass, or stainless steel implements instead.

Is only your T-zone oily? Try applying the face mask for oily skin just to your T-zone and use the treatment mask for tired skin on the rest of your face!

Steps to follow

1. Prepare and sterilize your equipment and workspace.
2. Weigh the dried flowers or petals for your recipe. Crush with a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder.
3. Weigh all the powder ingredients in a bowl. Mix together.
4. Weigh all the liquid ingredients in a ramekin. Mix together.
5. Add the liquid ingredients to the powders and mix well.
6. Transfer the mixture to the pot. Your homemade face mask is now ready!

Use and conservation

To use your DIY face mask, mix the powders with water or a hydrosol to form a paste (you can learn how to choose the right hydrosol here). Apply mask to clean skin and let set for 5 minutes. Careful, do not let the mask dry on your skin; spray mask with water or a hydrosol as necessary. Gently rinse your skin with clean water and apply a hydrating cream or lotion.

If stored in a dry place and made in optimal sanitary conditions, your homemade dried flower face mask should keep for 6 months to 1 year.
