This DIY Honey Face Mask is the perfect way to rejuvenate, protect and moisturize tired skin. With the addition of essential oils, this nutrient-packed DIY mask will leave you glowing.
You know that feeling when you are super-disappointed and feel almost betrayed?
That is how I felt when I discovered that my favorite face mask, though labeled “natural,” was ranked a four on the Environmental Working Group safety scale.
(Most experts recommend that you try to keep your personal care products at a two or less.)
While there are some great safe face masks out there, I’ve been making my own on a regular basis because I love creating Organic sustainable skincare products
Today, I’m sharing my favorite DIY Honey Face Mask.
I’ve used honey for burns, but I was skeptical the first time I tried it in a face mask.
Would it be sticky? Do honey masks really work?
Yes, they do! The first time I used this honey face mask I saw an immediate impact.
You may have asked yourself, is honey good for a face mask? Here is what you need to know.
WHAT CAN HONEY DO FOR YOUR SKIN
Humectant – This means that it attracts and retains moisture.Nutrient Packed – It contains calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate, potassium, sodium sulfur, Vitamin C and B vitamins.Copper – increases elastin production and works to firm the skinIodine – helps to speed healingZinc- Acts as an astringentAntioxidant – Rejuvenates and protects
Let’s take a look at the other ingredients in this DIY Face Mask.
WHAT CAN YOGURT DO FOR YOUR SKIN
ProbioticsAntibacterialExfoliation – The Lactic acid in the yogurt exfoliatesCan help to restore the skin’s balance
CARROT SEED OIL AND YOUR SKIN
Carrot Seed Oil is one of the best oils for mature skin. It is rich in Vitamin A. Not only does it work to sooth wrinkles, but it stimulates cell growth, giving skin a more toned and youthful appearance. It is also effective at removing toxins.
LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL AND YOUR SKIN
Lavender Essential Oil is my go-to oil for so many things. It helps to bring the skin back into balance, and helps to even the skin tone. It is equally effective at hydrating dry skin as it is in helping to clear acne.
THE QUALITY OF THE ESSENTIAL OILS YOU USE MATTERS!
After looking closely at the quality, purity, and ethics of so many companies, I’ve fallen in love with both the company and their oils. They have a large line of organic oils and are serious about safety. Every single batch is tested to ensure purity!

What is your favorite face mask?
This is such a wonderful and refreshing DIY! It’s so empowering to know exactly what is going onto your skin, and the combination of honey and Greek yogurt sounds incredibly soothing. It reminds me of how important it is to find natural, holistic ways to care for ourselves, especially during periods of transition or preparation. For instance, many people who prioritize this kind of mindful wellness also look into hypnobirthing classes online to prepare for parenthood with that same focus on calm, natural techniques. Whether it’s a skincare ritual or preparing for a major life event, taking that time for self-care and education makes such a difference. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I love how something as simple as a DIY honey face mask can turn into a little self-care ritual. It’s not just about the glow, but those few quiet minutes you take for yourself in a busy day. Moments like that almost feel like a soft god story—where small, natural things bring comfort, calm, and a sense of balance without needing anything complicated.

Loved how simple and approachable this DIY is — sometimes the best skincare really comes from natural ingredients we already have at home. The idea of turning self-care into a small, calming ritual feels just as important as the recipe itself. It reminds me of those quiet moments we create for ourselves, maybe in a peaceful corner of the house with soothing scents or meaningful decor like a silver vishnu idol nearby, helping us slow down and relax. Such a soothing and practical post!
