Do-it-yourself beauty is a popular way to get crafty, save money and pamper yourself. A fun at-home beauty recipe is a face peel-off mask: a mask that you apply to your face and peel off after waiting. Peel-off masks lift dirt and impurities and leave your face feeling refreshed and clean.

Things You'll Need

• 1 tbsp. packaged gelatin (unflavored)
• 1.5 tbsp. cold milk
• 1 egg white
• 1/2 tsp. honey

Instructions

Preparation

1. Turn your stove on to low heat.

2. Place the unflavored gelatin into a saucepan.

3. Add the cold milk and stir over the flame until the gelatin has completely dissolved. Once you have a smooth and consistent texture, remove the pan and let it sit for five to 10 minutes.

4. Add the honey and egg white to the milk and gelatin mixture and stir so that all ingredients are mixed together.

Application

1. Wait for the face mask to cool down so that it is cool to the touch. When it's ready, apply the mask with your hands over your face. Make sure it's evenly applied and avoid the region around your eyes and under your nose.

2. Relax and wait for the mask to dry. This takes anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes.

3. Peel the mask off once it's completely dry and rinse off any residue with lukewarm water. Gently pat dry.
