Skin loving ingredients for facial masks and scrubs
Posted on Sunday 30th May 2010
Apricot Powder
A bold yellow powder, Apricot is a good source of iron, potassium, phosphorus and calcium with Vitamin A & C.
Suitable for all skin types.
Banana Powder
A powder high in antioxidants - similar to that of apples - ideal for removing toxins and restoring your complexion.
Concentrates of vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium are known to exist. Suitable for dry and sensitive skin types.
Honey Powder
Normally I use honey in my soaps as it helps to soften my skin, I found myself using a powder in a mask not so long ago.
A great alternative to using liquid honey and one I'll be trying again - and Mum seams to like it too.
Raspberry Powder
Excellent to rebalance your own skins natural oils, if you suffer from redness of skin then you may find this powder helps to reduce this problem.
Even better if the powder contains seeds as they do help with exfoliation. I have dry skin and this helped a great deal but I would try it if you have oily, combination skin too.
I would love to hear what natural ingredients you've tried and tested for your facial, why not let know below?

I am always considering new formulations and we may have masks in the future.
