Honey is one of the most soothing and healing ingredients you can find. It is a natural humectant that moisturizes your skin without making it oily. Honey purifies the skin and noticeably reduces skin imperfections. It prevents premature aging signs and gives you a bright, dewy glow.

Aloe Vera and Honey Mask Recipe

• 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel
• 1 tablespoon honey

When making DIY beauty products with aloe vera gel, it is always best to use freshly extracted gel. You can also buy aloe vera gel online. Just try to get as pure gel as you can (no artificial scents and colors).

It is also important to use raw, organic honey that, unlike processed honey, won’t irritate your skin. And if you have Manuka honey, definitely use that one – it has amazing soothing, healing and protective effects to the skin.

To make this aloe vera and honey mask, all you have to do is mix both the ingredients well together. If you want, you can also add some ingredient suitable for your skin type from the list down below. But you can just use aloe vera and honey on their own – they make one of the best skincare treatments you can find.

Once you get a smooth paste, wash your face using a gentle face cleanser and warm water. Apply a thin layer of the mask; you can reapply later, as your skin starts to absorb the mask.

Leave the mask on for 20 – 30 minutes, then rinse off well. Apply your face moisturizer while your skin is still damp, to lock in the moisture.

If you’ve made more than you need, transfer what’s left to a small clean glass jar and store it in the fridge.

How to Customize Aloe Vera and Honey Mask

Though this aloe vera and honey mask is pretty perfect on its own, you can even further adjust it to your skin. Here’s a list of ingredients you can add to aloe vera and honey that will suit different skin types or problems:

• dry skin – 1 teaspoon of any natural oil (olive, coconut, avocado, sweet almond oil or shea butter, cocoa butter…);
• oily skin – 1 teaspoon of kaolin clay or a small squeeze of lemon juice;
• sensitive skin – 1 teaspoon oat flour;
• aging skin – 2 – 3 drops vitamin E oil and/or 1 teaspoon fresh orange juice;
• acne prone skin – 1 teaspoon kaolin clay or 1 – 2 drops tea tree essential oil;
• uneven complexion – 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder.

So, that is how you can make a DIY face mask using aloe vera and honey that will suit you perfectly. When you try it out, let me know in the comments how it went. Enjoy…
