Pearl powder has been a treasure of traditional Chinese medicine and the beauty industry since ancient times. Especially milk-processed pearl powder, due to its delicate texture and highly absorbable properties, has become a popular ingredient in modern skincare. Today, we'll explore the skincare charm of milk-processed pearl powder and share how to make a natural pearl powder gel mask at home to give your skin a radiant glow!
What is water-milled pearl powder?
Water-milled pearl powder is an ultra-fine pearl powder produced through the traditional water-milling process. Its particles are extremely fine (typically at the micron level) and can be easily absorbed by the skin. This pearl powder is rich in amino acids, calcium, trace elements, and pearl protein, and offers the following skincare benefits:
- Skin whitening and fading dark spots : Promotes skin metabolism and lightens pigmentation.
- Moisturizes and hydrates : Replenishes skin moisture and improves dry skin.
- Anti-aging : Reduces fine lines and improves skin elasticity.
- Soothing and Repairing : Calms sensitive skin and repairs damaged skin.
Why choose GEL MASK?
Compared to traditional face masks, gel masks have a light and refreshing texture, making them suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive and dry skin. The gel texture helps to lock in moisture and active ingredients, allowing the nutrients from pearl powder to penetrate deep into the skin.
Homemade Milk Pearl Powder Gel Mask Recipe
Here is a simple DIY pearl powder gel mask recipe. The ingredients are natural and easy to obtain, allowing you to enjoy a professional-grade skincare experience at home.
Required materials:
- Milk-processed pearl powder: 1 teaspoon (about 2 grams, choose high-quality powder with a clear origin or manufacturer)
- Aloe vera gel: 2 tablespoons (natural, additive-free is best)
- Rose hydrosol: 1 teaspoon (can be replaced with distilled water or chamomile hydrosol)
- Honey: 1 teaspoon (moisturizing and antibacterial; can be omitted for sensitive skin)
- Vitamin E oil: 2-3 drops (antioxidant, not always necessary)
Production steps:
- Prepare the container : Use a clean glass or ceramic bowl, avoiding metal containers as they may affect the activity of the ingredients. [Note: Honey should not come into contact with metal.]
- Mixing base : Pour aloe vera gel and hydrosol/distilled water into a bowl and stir well.
- Add pearl powder : Slowly sprinkle in the water-milled pearl powder while stirring to ensure there are no lumps.
- Add honey and vitamin E : Add honey and vitamin E oil, and gently stir until a smooth gel is formed.
- Check the consistency : If it is too thick, add a little hydrosol/distilled water; if it is too thin, add a small amount of pearl powder.
- Storage : Place the finished gel mask in an airtight container and refrigerate. It is recommended to use it within 48 hours.
