2 Simple DIY Bäre CBD Face Masks
By: DM Blunted
I love the summer. The heat, swimming pools are open, barbecuing yummy foods on the balcony - all of it. But my skin, on the other hand, may say otherwise. For whatever reason, the summer brings out the worst in my combination skin...and I mean the worst. My t-zone area is so greasy but at the same painfully dry - and let’s not mention the breakouts along my temples.
So being the self-titled “DIY Queen” I am, I mixed up a few masks with the help of Kush Queens Bare CBD oil! For the most part, these masks use ingredients that can easily be found around a kitchen and can be switched up depending on what your skin goals are!
CBD oil, not hemp seed oil - is quickly becoming a staple in the beauty industry. From it’s anti-inflammatory and natural analgesic properties to being packed with vitamins like A, D and E, it’s nothing short of a blessing for skin. A 2014 study showed, “CBD oil may help reduce various types of acne thanks to its ability to adjust how the body creates sebum.” Kush Queens, Bare uses olive oil, which is an amazing anti-ager and reviver of sun damage as well. And because a few drops of olive oil goes a long way, only a small amount of CBD oil is needed to get refreshed skin!
Honey Oat Mask
Oats aren’t just high in fiber and good for cholesterol, they’re also super nourishing to our skin! Enriched with healthy fats and natural cleansers (saponins), oats give pores a gentle deep cleanse while leaving skin gently hydrated. Plus it’s great for anyone who has skin with high pH levels (dry and itchy skin), because oatmeal can help stabilize them. Raw honey is also a dear friend to skin, hair and nails - a natural exfoliant and moisturizer it leaves skin soft and glow-y. But ya know, beware of any allergies you may have - especially if you’re allergic to bees, pollen and celery! I really enjoyed this mask because it was so cooling on my skin! Unlike masks that dry tight, this oat mask softly molded to my face.
2 tablespoons of oats
1 teaspoon of raw honey
1 full dropper of Bare CBD oil
Enough water to make a spreadable paste
Grind your oats! After grinding your oats, combine all ingredients and mix. Apply and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Rinse with cool water. Admire that skin!
ACV Clay Mask
For those that don’t know the power of raw apple cider vinegar or the “Aztec Clay” mask, you’re about to learn. Raw apple cider vinegar pops in every home remedy, from loc detoxes to ways to manage your diabetes, as well as ways to help with acne! Due to its anti-inflammatory elements, it can help unclog pores and smooth skin texture. The clay mask, which you’ve probably seen every on Instagram and Youtube at some point - lives up the hype! I swear I’m such a skeptic about anything, but I bought a jar of it last year around the holidays and I haven’t regretted once. The clay mask will reach down into your pores and rebuke the oil and dirt trapped within. It’s also a great hair mask for all hair types. Just be mindful that it does not go down your sink without a fight, a lived and re-lived learned experience. But you can throw into the grass and it will act as a natural fertilizer - it’s the circle of life baybee *Kawhi Leonard voice.*
2 to 3 tablespoons of Aztec Clay mask
1 full dropper of Bare CBD oil
Enough ACV to have a spreadable paste
Combine all ingredients in a non-metal bowl and mix with a non-metal spoon.* I like the consistency of a loose toothpaste, if that makes any sense. After getting it to your desired consistency, apply - once again careful not to use metal utensils. (* Bentonite Clay literally absorbs impurities and heavy toxins when applied, so if exposed to metal it will absorb the impurities from that and not from you!) Leave for 10-15 minutes, and rinse off with warm water. Yes, this dries very tight. Yes, your skin may be a little red for like 20-ish minutes afterward - but these are all momentary and will only reveal bouncy and refreshed skin.
So sit back, kick your feet up and let these simple masks do the work for you!
