DIY Glitter Face Mask for a Sparkly Pamper Night

Glitter face masks are the ultimate fusion of skincare and self-care, because who doesn’t want to shine while pampering their skin? Many glitter face masks you can buy use plastic glitter, so making your own lets you choose a plant-based alternative.

Our glitter is made with Bioglitter®, which uses a plant-based cellulose film instead of plastic film. Creating your own glitter mask is simple, fun and easy to customise.

Why DIY Your Glitter Face Mask?

• Plant-based sparkle: Bioglitter® swaps plastic film for cellulose. For plastic-free sparkle, choose our Shimmer or Electric Sherbet ranges, made with Bioglitter® PURE.
• Simple ingredients: kitchen-cupboard bases like honey and clay.
• Fully customisable: adjust the recipe to suit your skin.

DIY Glitter Face Mask Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tsp Luminosity Chunky Biodegradable Glitter: for that dazzling, multi-dimensional sparkle.
• 1 tbsp honey: a natural humectant that helps skin hold on to moisture.
• ½ tbsp aloe vera gel: cooling and soothing.
• ½ tbsp kaolin or bentonite clay: helps absorb excess oil.
• 1–2 tsp rose water (or distilled water): to loosen the texture into a smooth, brushable paste.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Combine clay and honey: in a small glass or ceramic bowl, mix the clay and honey until a smooth paste forms.
2. Adjust the consistency: stir in the aloe vera gel and add rose water a few drops at a time until the mixture is easy to spread.
3. Fold in the sparkle: gently fold in your Luminosity Glitter so it’s evenly spread through the paste.
4. Apply evenly: using a clean brush or silicone applicator, smooth an even layer over clean, dry skin, keeping well away from the eyes and lips.
5. Relax and glow: leave the mask on for 10 to 15 minutes. (Pro tip: snap a few sparkly selfies while you wait!)
6. Remove gently: wipe the mask away with a soft, damp cloth, then rinse your face with warm water. Wiping first keeps most of the glitter out of the drain.
7. Hydrate: pat your face dry and apply your favourite moisturiser.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

• Always patch test: even natural ingredients can cause reactions. Test a small amount on your inner arm or jawline 24 hours before, and don’t use the mask on broken or irritated skin.
• Make it fresh: mix a new batch each time and don’t store leftovers.
• Be gentle: Bioglitter® feels soft, but always remove the mask gently without scrubbing to protect your skin barrier.
