This divine little facial mask is perfect for soothing tired or stressed skin, and is ideal for sun burnt skin too. If your skin needs a little reviving after the holidays, this is it!
The ingredients in this facial all work together to help the skin regain its natural glow. Buttermilk powder is soothing and conditioning, and naturally contains some lactic acid (an alpha hydroxy acid, which is excellent for skin). Rose clay softly cleanses and exfoliates, and biosaccharide gum assists in rebalancing the skin's microbiome. I've left some room in the formula for some additional actives if you would like to add them, otherwise simply use more buttermilk power.

Hi Estelle, yes this can work, just make sure your containers are sterilized :)
Good morning
Question (maybe stupid though) – What if i mix the dry ingredients in one container and the liquid in another container. Then mix just before application. Will this create a longer shelf life? Lets say i want to travel and use the mask at a later stage? Your opinion please. Thanx in advance.
Hi Sharifa, you can try inulin or otherwise hyaluronic acid 1% serum. It’s basically just something to balance the skin’s microbiome :) If you don’t have those you can just leave it out but then obviously you won’t get that specific benefit.
Hi, is there any substitute for the biosaccharide gum? it’s the only ingredient don’t have
Hi Carien, as I noted above, this formula is not designed to have a shelf life. You are welcome to add a preservative and test it, but I have not tried this so I can’t advise.
The pH of the formula as is, is around 6.
