Recipes: Easy Homemade Face Masks

Who doesn’t love a good self-care night at home? 

A hot steamy bath, a glass of wine, a eucalyptus candle burning, and a homemade face mask you can feel proud of!

While there is certainly no shortage of face masks on the market today, they are not one-size-fits-all! They're an important part of a skincare routine and can have unique and targeted benefits depending upon the ingredients. 

Each person’s skin type is unique and requires a different skincare regimen. Homemade face masks, however, can address many different skin conditions, as they intensely penetrate deeper into the skin, in a short amount of time.

The most wonderful thing about face masks is that you can easily make your own at home, which is fun, rewarding, and cost effective.

Makesy makes it easy to be creative providing plenty of inspiration to create your own special formulas!

tropical fruit blemish control face mask recipe

Enzymes from pineapples & papayas found in our fruit enzyme exfoliating mask base work together with mandelic acid to exfoliate and help fight the bacteria which cause acne and blemishes.

If you’re interested in a seriously gentle but effective exfoliating mask that won’t irritate your skin with harsh scrubs, all you need is 1oz of mandelic acid aha exfoliant, and 2oz of fruit enzyme exfoliating mask base.

Follow these instructions and enjoy:

1. Add ½ tsp (.1oz) of mandelic acid aha exfoliant to your 2oz bottle of fruit enzyme exfoliating mask base and shake to mix until all the powder is dissolved. (This makes me dream of a tropical vacay!)
2. Add 5 - 10 drops of your favorite fragrance or essential oil to your desired level. We recommend natural pineapple juice & kiwi.
3. Optional: If you’d like to turn this into a chemical peel simply add 0.5oz of our brand-new organic peel off mask base to this formula and store in a black uv glass jar or a frosted glass jar.
