Ingredients Needed

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.

• Powder of dried pomegranate skin. Buy it pre-made, or make it at home as explained below.
• Aloe vera gel
• Distilled water

Tools Needed

• One or two small bowl(s)
• Teaspoon
• Small whisk
• Small container to store your DIY Pomegranate Face Mask

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.

Making Powder of Dried Pomegranate Skin

Follow these steps to create your homemade powder:

a) Prepare the Pomegranate Skins: Start by peeling the outer skin of fresh pomegranates. Aim to remove as much of the white pith (inner membrane) as possible, keeping only the outer red or pinkish skin. You can collect the peels over time until you have enough for drying.

b) Sun-Dry the Peels: Lay out the peeled pomegranate skins in a single layer on a clean, dry surface that receives direct sunlight. Ensure there is good airflow around the peels. Leave them to dry in the sun for 2-3 days or until they are completely dry and crisp.

c) Grind into Powder: Once the pomegranate skins are fully dried, they should be brittle and easy to break. Transfer them to a spice grinder, food processor, or mortar and pestle. Grind the dried skins into a fine powder consistency. Ensure there are no large pieces remaining for a smooth application in your face mask.

d) Store Properly: Store the homemade dried pomegranate skin powder in an airtight container, preferably in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Preparing Pomegranate Skin Powder with Water

a) Pour a quarter cup or half cup of lukewarm distilled water into a small bowl.

b) Add a teaspoon of pomegranate skin powder.

c) Leave the pomegranate skin powder in the water for 2 hours to allow the diffusion of its beneficial properties into the water.

d) Strain out the powder residue, leaving the healthy solution for use in the mask.

Steps: DIY Pomegranate Face Mask

1- Place 2 rounded teaspoons of aloe vera gel into a clean bowl. Ensure the spoon is dry when scooping the aloe vera gel from its container.

2- Add 3 teaspoons of the solution of pomegranate skin powder and water.

3- Stir thoroughly the contents with a small whisk for 1-2 minutes.

4- Scoop the pomegranate face mask into a small container.

5- Store the pomegranate mask in the refrigerator and use it within a week. Discard any leftover after a week. This is why it’s best to make a small quantity at a time.

How to Use: DIY Pomegranate Face Mask

a. Preparation: Mix the ingredients fresh before each use for the best results. Store any leftover mixture in the refrigerator and use it within a week.

b. Application: Cleanse your face and neck thoroughly. Using clean fingers or a brush, apply the mask evenly over your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.

c. Relaxation Time: Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes. Use this time to relax and let the ingredients work their magic on your skin.

d. Rinse Off: Gently wash off the mask with lukewarm water. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel.

e. Moisturize: Follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in the hydration and benefits of the mask.

Tips for Best Results

• Use the mask twice a week for optimal results.
• Perform a patch test before applying the mask to your entire face.
• Adjust the mask’s consistency by adding more aloe vera gel for a thinner texture or more pomegranate powder for a thicker one.
