Make You Own Face Mask

The fiery season of Leo is all about YOU!

It’s a time to spark that inner fire inside of all of us and find what makes us passionate. It’s also a beautiful time to explore ourselves at our core, and be proud of the incredible beings that we are! The traits of Leo are: charismatic, cheerful, courageous, dramatic, expressive, faithful, forthright, big-hearted, proud, warmhearted, and endearing. This vibrant sign is ruled by the Sun, the star at the center which all planets revolve. The Sun represents the creative life force and a person’s vital essence. Just as the Leo energy stokes you into bettering yourself, it also empowers you to rely on your inner strength. Remember, you are majestic.

While exploring the magical energies of the fire element during this month, also take some time to focus on YOU! Being that Leo’s have quite the outward charisma, we thought it’d be fun to create some quick and easy face masks that you can make yourself for a nice self-care night in.

(PLEASE NOTE: Make sure to read the ingredients before applying any mask to your face. If you have any sort of allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately!)


Brightening Mask

Get 2 tbsps of sandalwood powder and mix it with enough rose water to form a thin paste. Leave on for 15-20 minutes.

Detoxifying Mask

Mix together 1 tbsp of bentonite clay and 1 tbsp of activated charcoal with witch hazel to form a paste. Leave on for 15 minutes.

Soothing

Mix 2 tbsps of kaolin clay and 1 tbsp of water with enough aloe vera gel to form a paste. Leave on for 5-10 minutes.

Apply any of these masks to your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for the suggested time, and then wash off with cold water and apply a small amount of moisturizer. Enjoy!
