It seems that no matter how much water I drink, my skin still needs more hydration, so I like to give it a little extra love. This DIY Honey Face Mask is one way I like to nourish my skin.

This facial mask recipe is one that you can feel really good about using. It’s not only really easy to make, but it uses all natural ingredients that are good for your skin’s appearance.

It has only a few ingredients too, which is always a bonus in my opinion! You probably have most of the ingredients on hand already.

The Vitamin C serum is the one most people will need to pick up. I find that it’s a great ingredient for keeping my skin looking youthful, so I wouldn’t recommend leaving it out.

Honey and coconut oil are both hydrating and nourishing. The lemon essential oil is optional, but it has great brightening properties for skin.

This homemade face mask will leave your face feeling soft and well nourished! If you need some exfoliation along with your skin nourishment, try our Exfoliating Face Mask.

  • Transfer your face mask into your jar. The mask will thicken once it sits in the jar, so don’t panic if it seems too runny at first. Let it set up for a few hours if possible before using.

    1. I usually look at the expiration date on my ingredients and go by the one with the shortest shelf life. Vitamin C serum usually lasts for about 3-6 months after opening, but it’s going to depend on your bottle. There are also other factors that can affect shelf life such as contaminants and water getting into the jar, sunlight and heat exposure, etc. It’s always a good idea to monitor the appearance, smell, and texture of the mask before each use and discard it if there are any signs of spoilage or degradation.
