The Hidden Dangers of Store-Bought Face Masks & the Benefits of a DIY Manuka Face Mask


Maintaining a smooth, clear complexion doesn’t have to come at the cost of exposing your skin to harmful toxins. Many store-bought face masks contain chemicals and synthetic ingredients that can do more harm than good.



Natural and Safe DIY Face Mask


Instead, consider whipping up this easy Manuka face mask using doTERRA essential oils to achieve a radiant glow. Not only is it simple and effective, but it's also a safer, more natural alternative. Plus, doTERRA’s commitment to Co-Impact Sourcing ensures that you’re supporting ethical and sustainable practices.


The Dangers of Store-Bought Face Masks:


1. Parabens: Parabens are commonly used as preservatives in cosmetics, including face masks. These chemicals can disrupt hormone function by mimicking estrogen, potentially leading to reproductive issues and increasing the risk of certain cancers.


2. Phthalates: Phthalates are used to increase the flexibility and longevity of products. However, they are known endocrine disruptors and have been linked to a variety of health concerns, including birth defects and developmental issues.


3. Synthetic Fragrances: Many face masks include synthetic fragrances to enhance their scent. These fragrances can cause skin irritation, allergies, and even respiratory issues. Additionally, they often contain hidden chemicals that are not disclosed on labels.


4. Formaldehyde Releasers: Some face masks use ingredients that release formaldehyde over time to prevent bacterial growth. Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen and can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions.


DIY Manuka Face Mask Recipe:


Ingredients:


Instructions:

  1. Mix Ingredients: Combine the raw honey with Lavender and Manuka essential oils in a small bowl. Raw honey is a natural humectant, drawing moisture into the skin, while also offering antibacterial properties.

  2. Apply to Face: Apply an even layer of the mixture to your face. The essential oils in this mask help soothe and rejuvenate the skin.

  3. Let Sit: Allow the mask to sit for 20 minutes. This gives the ingredients time to penetrate and nourish the skin.

  4. Rinse Off: Gently wash off the mask with warm water. For a deeper treatment, apply the mask before you hop into the shower and rinse off before you finish your shower.
