In this episode of the Plants, Flowers, Oils and Whimsy podcast, Carrie Scharf guides listeners through achieving a summer glow using do-it-yourself face masks. She explains how summer factors such as sweat, sunscreens and environmental damage can affect skin, causing congestion and dullness. On the other hand, she highlights the benefits of herbal or clay-based masks, like absorbing excess oil and soothing irritation. Carrie shares three DIY recipes catering to different skin concerns: the cooling and calming Cucumber and Aloe Soothing Mask, the antibacterial and exfoliating Honey and Chamomile Brightening Mask, and the purifying Clay and Rose Mask. She emphasizes the necessity of a patch test before trying new masks, and offers a few tips on how to get the most out of these DIY masks. She also invites listeners to share their experiences and subscribe to her newsletter for more skincare advice, and ends by reminding everyone to not just stay hydrated, but also stay whimsical.
