DIY Overnight Face Mask for Dry Skin
If you frequently wake up with dry skin, this DIY overnight face mask can help! It forms a protective barrier that locks in hydration throughout the night, reducing water loss and helping you wake up moisturized.
Servings: 1 jar
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup squalane oil
- 3 tbsp white beeswax pellets (cosmetic grade)
- 1/2 tsp vitamin E oil (mixed tocopherols)
- Glass cosmetic jar for storage
Instructions
- In a double boiler, melt the beeswax on medium heat, stirring frequently to break up any lumps.
- Once the beeswax is melted, reduce the heat to low and add the squalane oil. Some of the beeswax may re-solidify at this point. Continue stirring to break up any lumps.
- Once the mixture is completely melted, remove it from heat. Allow it to stand for a few minutes and then add the vitamin E. Stir to combine.
- Transfer to a cosmetic jar, small mason jar, or other glass container. Leave at room temperature to solidify for 1-2 hours depending on your climate. No need to refrigerate.
