A simple homemade powder face mask is an easy cosmetic product that anyone can make. For this reason, a powder face mask not only finds a place as part of your beauty and relaxation ritual, but also makes a great gift that can be stored in a well-sealed container for a long time.
The benefit of the powder mask being made up of only dry ingredients and stored without water is that it does not need a preservative. However, all you need to do is add a little water to roughly a tablespoon of the powder mixture and your homemade face mask is ready to use.
Now, let's take a closer look at the ingredients that a homemade powder face mask has:
At first glance, you can already recognise pink French clay by its pink to brick colour, which is due to its mineral content, especially iron oxides. It is created by mixing red clay with white kaolin and is suitable for the care of mature but also oily skin, which it helps to effectively degrease. Therefore, a homemade powder mask containing pink clay is also suitable for problematic acne-prone skin.
This fine cosmetic clay is especially appreciated by more sensitive or mature skin. Due to the fact that bentonite swells and binds water very intensely in an aqueous environment, this cosmetic clay can be used on drier skin, as it degreases to a lesser extent than kaolin, for example. In addition, a powdered face mask containing bentonite helps to detoxify the skin and remove impurities.
This Moroccan clay has exceptional cleansing and detoxifying properties, is gentle on the skin and is good for oil control. It is rich in magnesium, silicon, iron and calcium. It is used to cleanse the skin, hair and body as it absorbs excess sebum, toxins and impurities without disturbing the skin's natural balance. It is ideal for oily, combination and sensitive skin, leaving skin smooth, hydrated and refreshed.
The white powdery substance called inulin is not one of the clays, but is actually a polysaccharide found in chicory. The homemade powder face mask contains it because it is a prebiotic - it promotes the growth and development of the skin's natural microflora, helping the skin defend itself against harmful pathogens.
Homemade powder face mask does not have a fixed recipe and you can adapt it to some extent to your own needs.
You can use floral hydrolats instead of distilled water to moisturize the mask. Rose water in particular is a very popular hydrolat, as it has a soothing effect and suits many skin types. In addition, it will leave your product gently scented.
As a substitute for floral hydrolates, herbal decoctions can be easily prepared at home from either fresh or dried herbs to suit your skin's exact needs.
If your skin doesn't need as much degreasing, you can increase the bentonite content. This will make your homemade powder face mask more hydrating, or reduce the amount of time you have it on your skin.
Give your powder face mask a pleasant scent by adding essential oils. These can also provide added benefits such as antimicrobial or soothing effects. However, always follow the recommended dosage for the respective essential oil and add them only to the finished wet mask.
Your homemade powder face mask is easily spiced up by adding some other powdered ingredients. You can reach for other types of clays depending on the requirements of your skin.
Your powder face mask can have even more intense cleansing properties if you add activated charcoal to it. This effectively binds impurities to itself and thus helps in the care of problematic skin.
As mentioned, you can experiment with homemade recipes to achieve the desired properties. However, many factors such as humidity, temperature, quality of ingredients and storage can affect the final result.
Before using any raw material to make a cosmetic product, familiarize yourself with its properties, recommended dosage, storage conditions or safe handling. Any raw material may have the potential to cause an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals, so before using a product, we recommend that you find out if you suffer from an allergy to any of the raw materials or the overall product, e.g. by a skin test.
If you have very sensitive or very acne-prone skin, or other skin and health problems, we recommend that you consult a medical professional before applying a new product to your skin, whether it is a homemade cosmetic product, a pure raw material or a commercially available product.
Does your relaxation time include applying a miracle face mask? Spread it on your shape, lie down on the sofa and you'll instantly find yourself in a beauty salon. Do you do that too?
