Face masks, not to be confused with COVID facial coverings, should belong to anyone\u2019s skin care regimen. Applying a face mask is an amazing self-care ritual that helps you recharge the batteries. Aim to do a face mask two times per week to make your skin look and feel great. The only problem with face masks is that they can make a dent in your bank account if you enjoy them regularly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s all going to change when you start making your own face masks<\/strong>, like the one in this article. Not to mention, a lot of people already have the necessary ingredients for face masks at home. Most of them contain ingredients you keep in the pantry, minus some essential oils and clays or powders. This recipe contains bentonite clay<\/a>, raw honey, apple cider vinegar, avocado oil, and cedarwood<\/a>, sweet orange, and frankincense essential oils. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powdered vs. Liquid Face Masks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, it comes down to a matter of preference. In order to apply a powdered face mask, you need to mix it with water or another liquid. Liquid face masks don\u2019t require any additional liquids and you can easily apply them out of the bottle. Depending on the liquid face mask, though, it may or may not contain preservatives in the formulations to combat the increased risk of bacterial growth. Some synthetic preservatives can irritate the skin, but not all liquid face masks are created equal. Continue reading to learn why we love the face masks in this article. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Incorporating honey into your skin care regimen can help calm inflammation on the skin. Many people say that they experience notably calmer and smoother skin after using honey. Additionally, honey exhibits antibacterial and antioxidant properties that may help clean out the pores. Some studies found that honey can kill several types of bacteria, but it has not been effective at killing the type of bacteria that causes acne. It may help soothe or reduce the intensity of a breakout, as opposed to getting rid of it entirely. One study found that combining honey with cinnamon bark may offer enough antibacterial properties to fight the primary bacteria that causes acne. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bentonite Clay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to researchers, bentonite clay works<\/a> by adsorbing oils and bacteria from the skin. It does this by sticking to the molecules or ions in the bacteria, and as you wash clay away from the body, it removes those impurities. Bentonite clay also contains iron<\/a>, magnesium, and calcium, which may provide additional benefits. The clay works to remove sebum from the skin\u2019s surface, which may help reduce the severity of breakouts. There are many anecdotal reports that say bentonite clay helps to clear up the skin<\/a> and make it appear younger, but research is needed on this matter. The important thing to remember about bentonite clay is that you should never use metal bowls or utensils to mix bentonite clay with other ingredients. Use glass bowls and wooden utensils because the clay can adsorb some of the metal\u2019s properties over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
