Cosmetic Recipe: "Citrus Glow" Brightening Face Mask

Create a revitalizing and brightening face mask that gently exfoliates, purifies, and gives your skin a radiant glow using Ayurvedic Orange Powder.

Instructions for Preparing "Citrus Glow" Brightening Face Mask:

1. Sanitize: Ensure all your utensils, bowls, and containers are thoroughly sanitized and completely dry.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a clean, dry bowl, measure and combine the Ayurvedic Orange Powder, Bentonite Clay, and Colloidal Oatmeal. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of all powders.

3. Prepare for Use: When ready to apply, take 1-2 teaspoons of the dry mask mixture into a separate small bowl.

4. Activate the Mask: Gradually add the Hydrosol (or purified water) to the powder, stirring constantly until you achieve a smooth, spreadable paste. Adjust the liquid amount as needed for your desired consistency.

5. Application: Apply an even layer of the mask to clean, dry or slightly damp skin, avoiding the eye and lip areas.

6. Rest Time: Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes, or until it is mostly dry. Do not let it dry completely on your face, as this can be overly drying.

7. Rinse: Gently rinse off the mask with warm water, using circular motions to provide a light exfoliating action. Pat your skin dry.

8. Follow Up: Apply your favorite toner, serum, and moisturizer to lock in hydration and nutrients.

Recommendations for Use:

• Concentration: This recipe uses 30% Ayurvedic Orange Powder, which provides a good balance of exfoliation and brightening. You can adjust the percentage (within the 10-30% range) based on your skin's sensitivity and desired exfoliation intensity.

• Blending: Ensure the powders are well-mixed before adding any liquid to avoid clumps.

• Storage: Store the dry mask mixture in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain its freshness and potency. Prepare only the amount you need for immediate use, as activated masks do not contain preservatives and can spoil quickly.

• Frequency: Use this mask 1-2 times per week for best results.

• Skin Types: Ideal for oily, combination, dull, and acne-prone skin. For very sensitive or dry skin, reduce the percentage of orange powder or mix with more soothing ingredients like plain yogurt or honey.

• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of your skin (e.g., inner forearm) before applying the mask to your face, especially if you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies.

• Caution: Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
