Asked by: pixzar_08 On: March 09, 2015 Product Type: Cosmetics Answered

Question

I want to make a moisturizing face mask. I'm interested in a thick, heavy cream texture, possibly like a sleeping mask. What kind of cream maker and percentage should I use to get a thick texture that still absorbs well? What moisturizing ingredients should I add? Can I also add whitening ingredients?

Answer

Wash-Off Moisturizing Mask Formula Suggestion

For a wash-off mask focused on moisturizing, you can create a cream base and add various hydrating ingredients. While sleeping masks are also popular for moisture, a wash-off cream mask provides intense hydration during the application time.

Here is a suggested approach:

The general process involves mixing the water and oil phases (if using a cream maker that requires it) and then incorporating the active ingredients and preservative. Always follow the specific usage instructions and recommended percentages for each ingredient.

This type of mask is applied to the face, left on for a recommended time (usually 10-20 minutes), and then rinsed off, leaving the skin feeling soft and hydrated.
