DYI Face Mask

Sometimes the best skincare really is the simplest.

This is a quick do-it-yourself face mask you can make at home with ingredients you probably already have. It doesn’t cost much, but the benefits are great. I actually found this recipe on Pinterest—and yes, this is one of those rare ones that is not a Pinterest fail.

It also pairs beautifully with my blog on Geranium essential oil, especially if you’re navigating skin changes during perimenopause or menopause and looking for gentler, more supportive skincare.

Simple Honey + Baking Soda Face Mask

You’ll need:

• 2 tablespoons raw honey

• 1 tablespoon baking soda

• Optional: a few drops of Geranium essential oil

How to use it:
Mix everything together in a small bowl. Apply to clean skin and gently massage in circular motions, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 15–20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

That’s it.

During menopause, declining estrogen levels can lead to drier skin, increased sensitivity, dullness, and a slower skin renewal process. That’s why harsh exfoliants and overly complicated routines often start to feel like too much.

Raw honey helps soothe and hydrate the skin without stripping it, while baking soda provides very gentle exfoliation to support cell turnover. If you add Geranium essential oil, you’re giving your skin an extra layer of balance—Geranium is often used to support hormonal shifts and promote a healthy, radiant glow.

This mask is simple, affordable, and effective—especially for skin that feels like it’s changing and needs a little extra kindness.

It’s proof that skincare doesn’t have to be complicated to work great. Sometimes, less really is more.
