Homemade face masks are always a great part of a home facial or to use in between esthetician visits to prolong the benefits of a facial. But it can be tough to mix up just enough for one face mask—you want the benefits of using fresh ingredients, but if you make too much, what do you do with the leftovers? No one wants it to go to waste!
I have a solution that’s nothing short of genius. Freezing small amounts for later use in an ice cube tray is a fantastic way to have a mask at hand any time you need one, and it will avoid wasting those precious ingredients.
This tropical enzyme-packed mask is great for aging skin, pigmentation problems, or overall exfoliation. Full of alpha hydroxy acids, vitamins A and C, and polyphenols, this mask will help dissolve dead skin cells while moisturizing the skin.
One ice cube is usually the perfect amount for a single mask. A bonus of making masks to use later is it will allow you the benefits of ingredients even when they’re not in season.
Whenever you would like a mask, pop out a cube and defrost by placing in a bowl and leaving it on the counter until soft.
You can mash with a fork as it softens and then apply with fingertips, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 10 minutes and then rinse with warm water, follow with moisturizer.
