About the Facial Sheet Masks Recipe

Sheet masks have become a popular beauty indulgence, but a single mask can cost anywhere from $4-12 — so we decided to explore what exactly goes into making a facial mask and how we could make our own at home! 

After exploring some different ingredients, we found that this recipe was a great moisturizing option for our own skin — but remember, everyone is different, so don't hesitate to explore ingredients to find a recipe that works for you! 

When we started looking into the face masks on the market, we ultimately found that they are simply comprised of hydrating oils and sometimes a cleansing agent — plus some preservatives, if you're buying them off a store shelf (which we don't love putting onto our skin, our bodies' largest organ!).

After our own research and explorations, we found a favorite formula of our own. Below is a breakdown of the benefits of each of these ingredients so that you can understand how they work and what you may want to include or leave out of your own sheet mask recipe! 

When it comes to skincare, vegetable glycerin is: 

• a humectant: helps retain and preserve moisture. When mixed with other ingredients, it helps them get locked into the skin.

Rosewater is: 

• anti-inflammatory: can soothe irritations and help reduce redness

• antioxidant rich: protects skin cells from damage and can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles

Witch Hazel is: 

• an astringent: contracts and tightens skin tissues, helping shrink pores, tone skin, and remove surplus dirt and oil

• antimicrobial: helps kill or stop the growth of harmful microorganisms

• anti-inflammatory: can soothe irritations and help reduce redness

and hemp oil is a great source of: 

• Vitamin E: a powerful antioxidant with anti-aging properties

• Vitamin A: helps repair skin damage from sun exposure and aging

• Omega 3 & Omega 6 Fatty Acids: keeps the skin hydrated and helps with skin growth
