Ready To Use Preservative-Free Honey & Pink Clay Mask

Ready To Use Preservative-Free Honey & Pink Clay Mask

Clay facial masks containing water-based substances are typically difficult to properly preserve, so we tend to make ours as we need them -

BUT

- there are some ingredients that you can safely add to a ready-made mask that does not require any preservation as they are self-preserving (like Honey, Glycerine, and Propanediol).

Provided that there is no water in the system - to introduce microbial contamination and activate the clay - you can safely create your ready-to-use mask that can even be stored. Self-care Sunday has never been easier!

What Are the Benefits of This Preservative Free Mask?

Each Ingredient was carefully selected to boost your facial nourishment experience:

  • Honey: brightening and will leave your skin with a wonderful glow. It also has healing properties.
  • Oat flour: gives some gentle exfoliation and has soothing properties.
  • Pink Clay: lightly cleanses impurities and evens skin tone.
  • Glycerine and Propanediol: additional moisture and humectant properties.

DIY Pink Facial Mask Recipe for Glowing Skin

31% honey

29% oat flour

10% pink kaolin clay

20% vegetable glycerine

10% propanediol

100ml jar

Variations: if you don't have oat flour, you could try almond flour or coconut flour.

You could substitute more honey for the glycerine if you like.

Ensure all your mixing bowls, utensils and the storage jar are sterile before you begin. Then weigh out all the ingredients and blend together until well combined. Decant into the jar.

To use, scoop some of the mask out with a spoon and apply to clean skin. You can brush it on with a mask brush or simply use your fingers to massage in. Rinse off after 20 minutes and follow up with a moisturiser as you normally would.

Hi Darsh, we haven’t had the formula tested for a shelf life, but I’d estimate 6-12 months when stored correctly.

Juliette

How long can this be stored for?

Darsh

Hi Sonja, that’s a great question! I haven’t tried it with honey powder but I imagine you could. You may just need to add in some extra glycerine to make up for the moisture loss. Let us know if it works for you :)

Juliette

Can I use honey powder?
