How to preserve homemade facial masks

When a homemade facial mask is not used up at one time, it can be stored in the refrigerator. Note that it should be placed in the refrigerator, not the freezer. When storing, it is best to cover the homemade facial mask with plastic wrap to prevent bacteria and dust from entering.

Different homemade masks have different shelf life

Any homemade facial mask can be stored in the refrigerator, but different homemade facial masks will have different shelf lives.

1. Homemade facial mask made of fruits and vegetables

Homemade fruit and vegetable masks are the most common, that is, masks made from fruit and vegetable ingredients such as tomatoes, cucumbers, lemons, and aloe vera. After these ingredients are cut and exposed to air, their ingredients will slowly change. For example, banana masks and apple masks may even turn black if left for too long. It is not recommended to store this kind of mask in the refrigerator at all, and just throw it away if you haven't used it up in one go.

2. Other homemade masks

Other homemade masks mainly refer to masks made from ingredients that are not easy to deteriorate, such as honey masks, milk masks, pearl powder masks, mung bean powder masks, flour masks, etc. These masks can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-7 days, and the longest time should not exceed 1 week. The specific time can be controlled by yourself. Anyway, the longer they are stored, the worse they are.
