Steps for DIY Jelly Face Mask

Here are the steps to make a basic jelly face mask using unflavored gelatin:

Prepare the Gelatin:
- Add 1 package or approximately 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin to a microwavable cup, bowl, or container.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of water or milk to the gelatin and stir.
Heat the Mixture:
- Microwave the mixture for 10 to 15 seconds.
- Stir again to ensure the gelatin is dissolved. The mixture should have a smooth, slightly thick consistency.
Apply to Face:
- Using a spoon, carefully apply the warm mixture to your face. Avoid the eye area and any sensitive skin areas.
Allow to Dry:
- Let the mask sit on your face for 10 to 15 minutes. During this time, the mixture will dry and become firm, taking on a jelly-like consistency.
Peel Off:
- Once dry, gently peel off the mask. Start from the edges and slowly peel towards the center of your face.
Optional additions
- You may add other ingredients to your mask, for instance; honey or any essential oils. Use caution and be sure they are safe for facial application.

Temperature: Ensure the mixture is not too hot when applying to avoid burns.
Consistency: The mixture should be viscous enough to be applied easily without dripping. If it is too thin, add a small amount of extra gelatin or if it is too thick, try adding more water.
Skin Sensitivity: Perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any allergic reaction before applying to the whole face.
