Sacred Nectar Mask

Honey + Yogurt Face Mask Ritual

What you will need:

~ 1 tbsp plain, unsweetened yogurt
(Greek-style is nice for thicker texture but truthfully raw is ideal if available)

~ 1 tsp raw honey
(antibacterial and hydrating)

Optional add-ins:
(choose 1-2 based on your skin’s mood and texture)
~ 1/4 tsp turmeric (anti-inflammatory but may stain your skin a bit)
~ 1/4 tsp rose powder or a few drops of rose water (soothing but may stain your skin a bit)
~ pinch of cacao powder (antioxidant-rich + grounding, but may stain your skin a bit)
~ 1 drop of rose or lavender essential oil (only if your face skin tolerates essential oils well)

How to apply:

~ mix ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.

~ apply to clean, damp skin with fingers or a brush.

~ let sit for 10–15 minutes but don’t let it dry completely (you can mist your face if needed)

~ rinse with warm water and follow with your rose cream + oil seal.

Hydrating + Healing Benefits:

~ yogurt - naturally high in lactic acid, it gently exfoliates while also hydrating and softening the skin. helps with flakiness and dullness from dry air

~ raw honey - a natural humectant (pulls moisture into the skin), and also antibacterial and wound-healing - it locks in hydration and calms any redness or irritation from wind, dust, or sun exposure

An invitation for you…

light a candle, whisper a prayer or blessing into the honey, stir with intention, and use it as a moment of devotion to yourself, to Earth, to the beauty of your skin in all its seasons
