Facial and body masques are probably one of the easiest and most diverse skincare products you can make at home.The following two (2) super-simple recipes incorporate Organic Rose Hydrosol and glycerin as the wetting agents.

Masque for oily skin

• 2 oz Bentonite Clay NF
• 1 oz Rose Hydrosol, Organic
• 0.25 oz Lemon Powder
• 5 ml (1 tsp)  Vegetable Glycerin

Masque for normal and dry skin

• 2 oz Kaolin - White Clay
• 1 oz Rose Hydrosol, Organic
• 0.50 oz Goats Milk Powder or Soy Milk Powder 
• 0.25 oz Pink Rose Powder, Organic
• 5 ml (1 tsp) Vegetable Glycerin

Phase 1: Combine dry ingredients until thoroughly incorporated. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until use.

Phase 2: In a separate container, combine wet ingredients. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place until use.

To Use: Combine 2 parts powder to 1 part suitable liquid to hydrate the masque. A thinner masque can be made by adding more liquid and a thicker masque can be created with less liquid. This masques is designed for immediate use after hydration. 

Note: Storing this masque with the wetting agent combined will lead to bacterial/microbial growth without proper preservation.
