we can round up a collection.  I ’ll start with mine. I make a batch once every two weeks and store in airtight container in the fridge -a cup of frozen [blue]berries
-1/4 apple cider vinegar
-1/3 cup of fresh aloe vera meat (save extra in separate container as a the leaf renders A LOT)
liquified in a blender transfer to non-metal bowl and with *non-metal* spoon mix in
-about a 1/2 cup of bentonite clay (less or more for desired thickness) don’t let the mask dry/crack completely on the skin before washing off
*i'd like to tweak this recipe a bit for some added elements/benefits like foodgrade rose water or aspirin. i tried raw honey once but it doesn't hold up well in the fridge

Thank you for sharing! I look up homemade masks once in a while. I made one with aloevera and drops of tea tree oil homemade and decent shelf life. (I currently have a hair mask in castor oil and drops of cinnamon essential oil.) I will come back to this post for ideas. IP: Logged |

You’re welcome! If anyone has a recipe for homemade body butter/lotion, do tell! I want to get into the habit of moisturizing but can’t fathom putting chemicals on my skin. IP: Logged |
