So yesterday concluded my DIY facial mask for November. Can you believe that Thanksgiving is this week and Christmas is a month away!! Well this time I tried a mask that had coffee in it. I didn't follow the exact recipe because I didn't need all that extra. I just eyeballed enough for just one time but here are the ingredients:
4 Tbsp Coffee Beans, grounded
4 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
8 Tbsp Dairy Product
2Tbsp of Honey
Mix the first two, add the dairy and stir until it makes a paste and then stir in the honey. Apply to a clean face, let dry and use a wet washcloth to loosen and rinse.
For the dairy product, I used yogurt and I used instant coffee that comes in a can. It was pretty easy to make but it took a little time stirring to make the paste. I believe it took about 10 minutes for it to harden on my face and boy did it get tight!! It did take a little to loosen but it left a really nice glow on,my face. I did break out just a tiny but but I liked the mask.
The caffeine in the coffee helps reduce swelling and puffiness, the antioxidants in the cocoa powder help reduce ageing and the tougher helped replenish moisture. I noticed that all of the mask I tried had honey in the recipe.
So out of the four mask I tried, I would most likely use them all again but I really liked the Oatmeal mask the best because of the results.
Hope you guys enjoyed these DIY facial mask, let me know of you have tried any of them out and your results!
