This Age-Defying DIY Sheet Mask Gives You Glowing Skin
Sheet masks may have taken the spotlight in 2018, yet they’re anything but so last season. Their popularity remains, thanks to their ability to quench and nourish the skin in just 10 to 20 minutes. For those of you who have passed on looking like a masked bandit, allow us to persuade you why wearing masks shouldn’t be reserved for Halloween.
Sheet masks originated in South Korea and Japan and are often filled with moisturizing, active ingredients and humectants that boost skin, giving you a glowing, beautiful complexion. The “sheet” in sheet masks are made of natural materials such as cotton or vegetable fibers which act as an occlusive. This allows ingredients to stay locked in and completely soak into the skin.
People are seeing the drastic benefits of this new modality of skincare, and wherever there’s a skincare trend that delivers actual results, we’re there, waiting in the wings to create our own version with healthful essential oils. Which is exactly what we did with this DIY sheet mask to give you age-defying, glowing skin! Made with Age Defy, Argan, aloe vera and glycerin, this easy-to-make mask will give you all of the moisturizing, skin-restorative benefits of an expensive skincare product using solely natural and effective ingredients.
With Age Defy as the active ingredient, you can trust that your skin will look tighter and more filled-in after a few masks. A blend of Frankincense, Sandalwood, Lavender, Myrrh, Helichrysum and Rose, Age Defy allows you to age the way we were meant to: gracefully. An active ingredient of its own accord, Argan increases skin’s elasticity, while aloe vera is a known hydrator and humectant. Another natural humectant, glycerin draws water to the skin contributing to a glowing, dewy complexion. Blend your ingredients together, grab a blank sheet mask, sit back and watch as your skin is transformed.
What you need
2 tbsp Aloe Vera
2 tbsp Glycerin
2 tsp Water
3 drops Age Defy
1 tbsp Argan
Blend together glycerin and water. You can add a little water to assist in blending, if needed. Combine your diluted glycerin with aloe vera. In a separate container, combine Age Defy and Argan. Apply the water-based mixture to your face (there should be some leftover), then the Age Defy mixture. Use the rest of your water-based mixture to soak your blank sheet mask. Cover your face with the mask and keep it on for 15-20 minutes. Then dispose of the mask and use a warm, wet facial towel to remove any remaining product. That’s it! Enjoy beautiful, glowing skin.
