Due to its high mineral content, Irish Sea moss makes a great natural mask! And with the added benefit of activated charcoal and essential oils, this mask will leave you feeling sparkly clean and rejuvenated with its delightful smells. Depending on your skin type it may even help with the appearance of acne, though we recommend testing that out before-hand.
With the essential oils and the activated charcoal, this mask will leave your face silky smooth and clean. The delightful smell of the oils will leave you in a sweet-smelling state of serenity and the smooth texture of the sea moss is just as delightful.
Ingredients:
Sea Moss Gel
1/4 Cup Organic Irish Sea Moss Powder
2 Cups of warm (Not boiling) spring water
Mask
2 Tbls. Sea Moss Gel
1 Tbls. Activated Charcoal Powder
1 drop of tea tree oil
1 drop of geranium oil (oily skin) or frankincense oil (dry skin)
Instructions:
Sea Moss Gel
In a blender add your Sea Moss Powder and your water.
You can also use a hand blender which is slightly easier to blend the powder.
Blend the mixture, if the powder gets stuck use a spatula or something similar to scrape the powder off of the sides so that it all combines.
Once you're sure there is no moss stuck to the sides, blend for roughly two minutes or until it becomes thick, depending on your blender.
Transfer to a container and store in your fridge.
As Sea Moss is a natural ingredient be sure to check your gel regularly before you use it to be sure it is fresh and safe.
Mask
Add all ingredients for the mask to a bowl and stir well until homogeneous.
Use
Apply a thin layer onto your face skin.
Leave the mask on for 15 to 20 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Gently dry your skin.
Note:
Do not use this product every day, we recommend roughly once per week due to this being a concentrated mask.
Be sure to test the mask on smaller patches of skin before applying it fully. Be sure to watch for any signs of irritation, and if any appear, rinse immediately.
