First, time saving. You have probably noticed that the choice of face masks is quite wide! Who has never spent several minutes on the shelf of a store, or on an online site, looking at all the possibilities without being able to decide? And for good reason, we are offered moisturizing, toning, purifying, exfoliating, regenerating, anti-aging, thirst-quenching, radiance face masks... We can quickly be lost and try to buy products that we will only use a few times because they do not correspond to us.
Making your own mask also allows you to limit the ingredients that may raise questions . For example, no need for preservatives because the mask is made to be used in one go right after its manufacture. If you have ever seen wide, do not hesitate to share with the people around you. You can also avoid essential oils or perfumes, which can be a bit irritating for sensitive skin.
Making your homemade face mask also allows us to remove all the other controversial ingredients such as parabens, dyes, sulphates, mineral oils... If ever you don't feel ready to make your own home products yet, we advise you to go for organic and natural cosmetics. They allow you to put aside a good number of endocrine disruptors and components that leave something to be desired!
From an economic point of view, as in cooking, homemade is more advantageous. We buy the raw materials in bulk and we make several recipes with them! With a pot of rhassoul, for example, you can make dozens, even hundreds of homemade masks.
Making homemade face masks is also an opportunity to test lots of different mixes and vary the pleasures . In winter, we want a moisturizing mask with warm and comforting scents. In summer, we want freshness and holiday smells! For products such as face masks, which are only used once or twice a week maximum, it is quite difficult not to get bored... We have all already bought a product like this, which we have used for a few months and gave up to try another. Sensoriality is very important in cosmetics! Hence the advantage of doing homemade for every week to have the impression of testing a new product.
Winter being well established and the current health context leaving us plenty of free time at home, we thought it might be nice to present you a recipe for a moisturizing face mask. Get a bowl and measuring spoons and follow the guide!
With the cold and windy winter months, it's hard to keep skin hydrated and glowing. The mask on the face all day does not help either! If you come out of the shower with a tight, blushing and peeling face, your skin is severely dehydrated . Don't panic, we've found a recipe for a honey-based moisturizing face mask that will nourish and plump up your skin.
We have all read or heard that honey works miracles. It has been used for centuries for its exceptional beauty benefits , even Cleopatra was conquered by the latter!
