CBD-Infused Face Masks You Can Make at Home
Our obsession with face masks and CBD skincare has gotten a little out of hand lately. But our skin is loving the extra TLC and there’s nothing better than slathering on a face mask to work out our skin issues while we relax with a good book or tv series.
In case you’re just now tuning in, CBD has not only taken the wellness industry by storm, but the beauty industry as well. We can’t blame them—CBD is a natural anti-inflammatory that has shown promise in treating an array of skin conditions. So whether you are trying to combat excess oil, enlarged pores, or just brighten your overall complexion, we have a CBD-infused face mask that can help.
Brightening CBD-infused Yogurt Face Mask
Targets: Dullness and discoloration
Catch too many sun rays on your most recent vacation to the beach? This mask has you covered. Yogurt is filled to the brim with lactic acid and healthy bacteria, which can help lift away rough and lackluster skin surface cells and promote cell turnover for a brighter, visible difference. Turmeric and lemon juice are also MVPs when it comes to combatting pigmentation, while the CBD oil and raw honey add a healthy dose of antioxidants to your skin.
What you’ll need:
- 1 tablespoon full-fat plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon raw honey
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon CBD oil
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
What to do:
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well until they form a smooth paste. Apply the entire mixture to clean skin, including your under-eye area. Turn on a Netflix show, read a book, nap, or basically, anything relaxing that keeps the mask on for 45-60 minutes. Gently remove the mask with a washcloth and warm water. Follow up with a fragrance-free moisturizer with a few drops of your favorite CBD oil.
Pro Tip: Turmeric stains can be difficult to lift from fabrics and you won’t want your favorite shirt to get stained. Be sure to throw on an old t-shirt or drape a towel around your shoulders before applying this mask.
Rejuvenating Raw Honey & CBD Face Mask
Targets: Dry skin
Raw honey’s ability to heal skin, smooth fine lines, and heal acne scars is amazing! It contains enzymes and antioxidants that nourish and rejuvenate skin while combatting skin-damaging radicals. Plus, the essential fatty acids from the avocado and ground almonds will plump and moisturize your skin.
What you’ll need:
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon CBD oil
- 1/4 avocado, mashed
- 2 teaspoons finely ground almonds or almond flour
What to do:
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well until they form a smooth paste. Apply the entire mixture to clean skin, including your under-eye area. Relax for 15-20 minutes while the mask works its magic. Gently remove the mask with a washcloth and warm water. Follow up with a fragrance-free moisturizer with a few drops of your favorite CBD oil.
Acne-banishing Red Clay Mask
Targets: Acne-prone skin
If you have mild to moderate acne, this mask can help promote skin-cell turnover to help pores stay clean. The clay and apple cider vinegar ward off acne-causing bacteria, while CBD oil and raw honey will soften and soothe skin for an even appearance.
What you’ll need:
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon CBD oil
- 1 – 2 teaspoons Bentonite or Moroccan Red Clay
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 mashed banana (optional)
What to do:
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well until they form a smooth paste. Apply to clean skin. Wait until the clay begins to dry, harden or crack before gently removing the mask with a washcloth and warm water. Follow up with an alcohol-free toner, light moisturizer, and a few drops of your favorite CBD oil.
