Simple & Natural Facemask Recipe
Turmeric-Ginger Face Mask
DIY Self-care
Today JAR is bringing you an easy to make facemask recipe, with five natural ingredients that will leave your skin glowing and revitalized!
Ingredients:
- Bentonite Clay (1 TBSP)
- Turmeric Powder (1 TSP)
- Ground Ginger (1/4 TSP)
- Water (2-3 TBSP)
Directions
- Add bentonite clay, turmeric powder, ground ginger, and water to a small mixing bowl and mix with a fork until the color of the powders is uniform.
- Add water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until your ingredient combine into a pastey, buttery texture.
- Use your fingers to dig in and apply your facemask! I like to cover from my forehead to my collarbones, and even down to the top of my chest if I plan on showering after application.
- Leave the facemask on for anywhere from 2 to 20 minutes, depending on your preference. You should experience a gentle tingling sensation from the ginger.
- Remove your facemask with warm water and a washcloth.
