Why Use a Powder Face Mask?
Since powder masks do not require preservatives, each ingredient in the jar serves a purpose and is not a filler. In other words, you are absorbing every bit of goodness from each ingredient. Unlike pre-mixed products, the crucial ingredients in these masks stay inactive until you add a form of liquid. Some say it's a skin savior in a jar. On top of this, due to having no preservatives and ingredients still not being activated, it guarantees a longer shelf life, allowing you to use it for more months! In fact, powder masks have the ability that allows you to customize them to your exact needs. You have complete control over the consistency, texture, activator, and additives. In other words, powder mask recipes can be tweaked easily to suit your skin's needs, whatever they may be. It can be mixed with honey, aloe vera gel, yogurt, rose water, water, lightweight oil, and much more, even as simple as water.
