The first thing when you think of the term “self-care” is a face mask, not the ones that are mandatory these days but the ones you knew before the covid-era. A face mask is a great way to soothe and nourish your skin, and also feel relaxed at the same time. Although squeezing out a face mask from the tube and applying it directly to your face may be convenient, a lot of clean beauty brands these days are opting to keep their face masks dry, as a powder. One main reason to do this is not just avoid the use of synthetic preservatives, but also it gives you the freedom to customize your face mask as you control the medium which you may use.
Clay has pore cleansing properties. It literally acts as a vacuum cleaner for your pores. Dried botanicals are added to the clays to provide added benefits and target specific skin issues.
These are some ideas for the medium with which you can mix a face mask, as per your needs. These are items found in your kitchen pantry easily.
- Plain water - You can never go wrong with filtered or distilled water for your masks. Mix in a clean bowl with a mask brush, and let it bloom for sometime, usually under a minute. Blooming is basically letting the mask sit for a few seconds- up to a minute, to allow the dried botanical powders in the mask to get rehydrated and provide maximum benefits. Water is perfect to be used for all skin types.
- Milk- Dairy or plant milk provides an added nourishment to dry masks. If you feel that clay masks overly dry your skin, you may use milk to add a moisturizing effect.
- Yogurt- It contains a low amount of Lactic acid, which can act as a gentle exfoliant, in addition to the nourishing and cleansing properties of a clay based mask.
- Honey- Raw Honey is an excellent emollient and humectant, meaning it helps retain moisture in your skin. Honey can be used straight up as a mask, but adding a few drops of honey to water as a base in clay masks elevates its emollient properties. Our Blush Face Mask already has dehydrated honey powder in it.
- Floral Waters/Hydrosol - The next best thing to water in dry face masks is plant and floral hydrosols. Rose, Lavender, Hibiscus, Citrus, mint, whatever you can get your hands on. Floral hydrosols take your masking experience up a notch.
Practice caution - A lot of DIY’s use Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) straight on the face. If you have normal or oily skin, you may add a few drops of ACV to water as a base. I would not recommend using them neat on the face if you have sensitive skin. It has natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids and has a very low PH (2-3), hence people with sensitive skin may experience redness and over exfoliation which can remove the protective top layer of skin.
Do not recommend Oil - Clays and dried floral and herbal powders are best activated with water or anything containing maximum water component. Mixing your clay based mask with oil may negate the purpose of the mask. Oil does not activate your dry mask, it just sits on top of your skin and does nothing. You may use a good quality face oil after using the mask, if you feel dry after a clay mask to ease the tight feeling.

Good day, everyone! I don’t want to terrify anyone, but the rise in internet theft is concerning. My relative was duped by an investment fraud organization that promised a 100 percent return in a week. I realize it’s greedy, but it can happen to anyone. The first line of defense is to seek assistance rather than fear. Yes, you can receive assistance. In his situation, he completed his investigation and was fortunate enough to come across a genius contact: REMOTESPYTECH@ gmail. com. They were able to immediately retrieve the funds from the bogus company. I had no idea it was possible, but as they say, “knowledge is power.” I’ve decided to share that knowledge with others today in the hopes of enlightening them. You could also file a complaint.

Amazing Service
I was left in shock and depression after being deceived by bitfinex investment where I lost about 395,000 USDT of my entire life savings which I was planning to get a company after my retirement as life investment for my kids but this nitwits stole it from me. However after weeks of my depression I finally met REMOTESPYTECH (at) gmailc0m through a close friend referral and he got back all my stolen assets instantly without hassle or hidden fees. He’s the only real deal out here as I’ve tried many but they failed. He was my final and last hope. I’m grateful Mr Romero delivered. Get in touch with him now!!!!

Real Deal
The old adage “if something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is” still rings true, and is one to keep in mind for anyone venturing into investing in general. It is especially true for cryptocurrencies. Countless profit-seeking speculators turn to misleading websites offering so-called guaranteed returns or other setups for which investors must invest large sums of money for even larger guaranteed returns and so I invested a total of $309,000.
Unfortunately, these bogus guarantees lead to financial disaster when I tried to get my money out and found out I can’t. to cut the long story short I told my husband who hired the service of a hacker (MARK WIZARD) Lucky for us we were able to recover all that I lost through the help of wizard my advice to anyone looking to invest online is to do a thorough investigation before committing yourself to investment of any kind, and if you are already a victim of investment scam and you are looking for a profession hacker I recommend you hire the services of Mark Wizard. below are his contact info:> markwizard828@gmail.com

I want to testify about Dark Web blank atm cards which can withdraw money from any atm machines around the world. I was very poor before and have no job. I saw so much testimony about how Dark Web hackers send them the atm blank card and use it to collect money in any atm machine and become rich.
