Metaphysical Properties of Ingredients
Cornstarch: Represents grounding energy, connecting us to the earth’s stabilizing force. In this mask, cornstarch is not only a natural mattifying agent that absorbs excess oils, but also a symbol of balance and protection, helping to ground your mind and spirit.
Honey: Often associated with love, healing, and abundance, honey is a natural humectant that draws moisture into the skin. On a metaphysical level, honey embodies the warmth of the sun and the energy of the divine feminine, promoting self-love and healing during your skincare ritual.
Turmeric (optional): Known for its anti-inflammatory and brightening properties, turmeric is connected to spiritual protection, cleansing of negative energy, and awakening inner wisdom. Adding turmeric can help illuminate your skin and aura. Do not use if you have sensitive skin.
