Rosewater and Glycerin Lip Mask
This is a simple and effective method for creating a hydrating rose lip mask.
Ingredients:
- Rosewater
- Glycerin
Instructions:
- Combine: Mix equal parts rosewater and glycerin in a small container. For example, use 1 teaspoon of each.
- Apply: Use a clean fingertip or a lip brush to apply a thin layer of the mixture to your lips.
- Wait: Allow the lip mask to sit on your lips for 15-20 minutes. This allows the rosewater and glycerin to hydrate and soften your skin.
- Rinse: After the allotted time, rinse your lips with warm water.
- Optional: Follow up with a moisturizing lip balm to lock in the hydration.
Why this works:
- Rosewater: Known for its hydrating and soothing properties. It can also help reduce redness and inflammation.
- Glycerin: A humectant, meaning it attracts moisture from the air and helps keep your lips hydrated.
This easy DIY lip mask can be incorporated into your skincare routine several times a week for soft, supple lips.
