With the weather warming up, now is a great time to give your facial skin a little TLC. This Silky Coconut Milk Face Mask is made with coconut milk powder, colloidal oatmeal and kaolin clay to create a product that is incredibly gentle. The coconut milk powder is full of vitamins, and gives the mask a lovely coconut scent. Kaolin clay adds a silky feeling, while colloidal oatmeal adds a touch of exfoliation. A combination of vitamin E oil and Evening Primrose Extract give the mask moisturizing and soothing properties.
To use, scoop a small amount of the powder and mix with either water or oil to make a paste. If you have oily skin, mix this recipe with a bit of warm water for an oil-absorbing mask. If you have dry skin, mix the mask with a lightweight oil or thin lotion to add moisture. Argan oil, avocado oil, sweet almond oil or any other moisturizing oil would work well. Apply the mask to clean skin, and allow to sit on the skin for 3-5 minutes. Wash off, and apply moisturizer.
What You’ll Need:
4 oz. Coconut Milk Powder
4 oz. Kaolin Clay
1.5 Tbs. Colloidal Oatmeal
1.5 mL Vitamin E Oil
1.5 mL Evening Primrose Extract
Tall 8 oz. Plastic Bail Jars
Optional: Droppers
TWO:Â Add 1.5 mL of vitamin E oil and 1.5 mL of Evening Primrose Extract and mix well. If you notice clumps forming, you can break them up with your hands or a whisk.
THREE:Â Spoon the mixture evenly into the glass bail jars and enjoy!
To hydrate and use: In a small bowl, add 1-2 teaspoons of liquid to 2 tablespoons of the mask to form a thick paste. Spread the paste on your face and leave until dry. Rinse the mask off with warm water, scrubbing the mask in a circular motion as you rinse for light exfoliation. Follow with your regular skin routine.
Do you use face masks in your skin care routine? I like to use them about once a week.Â
