Personalised Mud Masks: DIY Natural Face Treatments for Every Skin Type

Build Your Own Mud Mask: Natural Skincare, Your Way

Are you ready to give your skin the love it deserves? Forget the noise of peptides, chemical-laden products, and fancy sheet masks—mud masks have been quietly working their magic for centuries. Packed with minerals, nutrients, and natural goodness, these masks purify, nourish, and refresh your skin—all while letting you mix and match the ingredients yourself.

Why mud masks? They’re old-school, all-natural, and underrated in the modern beauty world. You can see every ingredient, choose what works best for your skin, and create a treatment that’s completely personalised. Plus, they’re fun to make and even more satisfying to use.

How It Works

Your mask comes as a kit for 5 uses (when used on the face). You’re required to pick a clay and a water, but actives and oils are optional. Each ingredient has its own unique benefits—so you can mix a mask tailored for your skin’s exact needs. These can be used all over the body, not just your face.
