I am a seriously huge fan of face masks. I am actually such a big fan that I do a few a week. When you are using them that often, your wallet can definitely take a hit. The best way to battle the thinning cash flow is finding a less expensive way to create the same thing at home. I did a little research and I am bring ing you a DIY Glamglow Inspired Mask! It targets acne, clogged pores, scarring, discoloration and the list goes on.
There are two types of Glamglow masks: Youthmud and Supermud. This is most like the Supermud version that clears up the skin instead of delivering a gentle exfoliation.
The ingredients you will need are as follows.
{one} 1/4 cup Aztec Secret Bentonite Clay
{two} 1-2 drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil (depending on your sensitivity)
{three} 1-2 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil (depending on your sensitivity)
{four} 6-9 Charcoal capsules
{five} 1 tablespoon Virgin Coconut Oil
{six} 1 tablespoon Aloe Vera Gel
{seven} 1-2 fl oz Chamomile Herbal Tea
The instructions are even easier than the list of ingredients.
First off, prep by steeping the chamomile tea and melting the coconut oil. Then combine.
{one} Combine 6-9 capsules of charcoal and the bentonite clay and mix together.
{two} Add in the essential oils and the aloe vera gel. Stir to combine the best you can. It turned into little pebble-sized balls for me.
{three} Slowly mix in the tea and stir/whisk until well blended and has a creamy consistency.
Yep… that is it. That is how you make this DIY Glamglow Inspired Mask.
To use it, make sure your skin is freshly washed and dried. Smear all over the face and avoid contact with your eyes. Let it sit until the mask starts drying up and getting tight. Wash off with a wet wash cloth or muslin cloth. At this step, depending on what you use, you can also get some exfoliation which will add to the radiant afterglow. The recipe listed above makes enough for 5-6 applications so store the rest in a cool, dark area like the fridge.
My experiences with this mask were extremely good. My face felt polished, clear, radiant, and supple upon removing it. I made this on a Saturday morning and by the time Sunday evening rolled around I started seeing the yucky stuff come to the surface. They didn’t form breakouts or hard gross pimples or anything, just easy to remove white heads. After removing them (which took all of 3 minutes with my extraction tool) my face was clear. Like really clear. A few hours after I removed the whiteheads and my skin calmed down the texture had improved a great deal. I am so excited that I have discovered this wonderfully inexpensive DIY Glamglow Inspired Mask.
This mask is pretty intensive so don’t forget to moisturize your skin after the mask. I like to use a serum and then a regular moisturizer after this mask. Feel free to choose whatever you normally love.
The thing that makes DIY skincare fun is that it is totally customizable. If you experience any sensitivities to the essential oils I mentioned, do remember that I put 1-2 tiny drops into a large batch. If you have major sensitivities just omit them. Do you have another ingredient that you enjoy using in your DIY skincare? Add it in… Tell me in the comments below what you like in your skincare and maybe some ingredients I could add to this mask that would give it added benefits. Also let me know of another DIY beauty adventure you would like to see me take on!
