Patch Test Reminder: Especially important with essential oils and raw honey.
Storage & Shelf Life
- Store in the refrigerator for a cooling effect and extended freshness.
- Use a clean spatula or spoon for application to avoid contamination.
- Best used within 2–3 weeks.
Customization Tips
- For dry skin: Add a few drops of rosehip or jojoba oil.
- For oily skin: Reduce glycerin to 1/4 tsp or skip the essential oil.
- For sensitive skin: Stick to pure aloe, honey, and skip essential oils.
- For extra glow: Add 1/8 tsp of vitamin C powder (if your skin tolerates it).
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using too much hyaluronic acid—it can clump or dry out the skin if not well dissolved
- Not letting the powder bloom before stirring—leads to grainy texture
- Skipping clean tools—shortens the mask’s shelf life
- Leaving it on too long—can start to feel tacky or tight
- Applying to dirty skin—blocks absorption of hydrating ingredients
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I leave this mask on overnight?
No, it’s best used as a 10–15 minute treatment. Rinse thoroughly after use.
Can I use manuka honey instead of raw honey?
Yes! Manuka honey adds even more antibacterial benefits, especially for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Is this safe for acne-prone skin?
Yes, but make sure all ingredients are non-comedogenic and patch test first.
Can I skip the glycerin?
You can, but it enhances hydration. Use aloe and honey alone for a simpler version.
Why does it need to be refrigerated?
To preserve freshness and maintain the mask’s texture without preservatives.
