Homemade Face mask Using Brewers Yeast – St Patricks Day Idea

February 25, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 4 Comments

I am sharing this recipe courtesy of SavvyHomemade

This homemade face mask recipe is made using Brewers Yeast, which is extremely rich in vitamin B. It therefore makes an excellent ingredient when added to a face mask or other facial treatment.

Brewers Yeast can also be very good at tackling wrinkles when used on a regular bases (about once a week is good), and it is suitable for all skin types so adding a teaspoon to any face mask will give it a great nourishing boost.

This homemade face mask recipe also contains wheatgerm and vitamin E, so it is particularly good for reducing thread veins, wrinkles and blotching.

Brewers Yeast Face Mask Ingredients

1 egg yolk for dry or normal skin or 2 tablespoons of egg white for oily skin

1 teaspoon wheatgerm oil

1 teaspoon brewers yeast

The contents of one vitamin E capsule

Method

Place all ingredients in a bowl and beat well together.


Spread the treatment over the face and leave for about 20 minutes.


Rinse the mixture off the face with warm water then splash your face with cold water for a finishing rinse.


Added extra wheatgerm oil makes an excellent moisturiser so for an extra boost rub a little into the skin after using the treatment.

Suitable for all skin types

    I have viewed so many different homemade face masks but I’ve never really tried one. But brewer’s yeast is new to me. This is the first time I’m reading about it. My view is by the time you purchase all of the necessary ingredients, you have spent the same amount that you would have spent on an actual store-bought face mask.
    Even then, it’s only good for a single use.

    I’ve been using a face mask made by Face Masque Bar. http://facemasquebar.com – It’s one of the clay variates. The cost isn’t bad at all. They sell them for $18. Apparently you can find coupons quite easily. Anyway, I like it because it cleans my face very well and leaves it feeling moisturized. I also like that it’s organic, since I am an organic nut!

    I’ve been using brewers yeast face masks for 20 or 30 years. I’m 50. I mix the powder with water to a loose paste. Put it on my face, throat and chest until it starts to break off. Then I rinse it off usually in the shower. Immediately after your skin will likely be quite pink and maybe open pored. Within a few hours it will be back to normal but much smoother and softer.

    By the way, I have mature, dry, sensitive skin.

DIY Halloween Bath Bombs – Spooky-Fun Self-Care for Ghouls of All Ages

If your idea of Halloween fun includes a little bubbling, fizzing magic—without the sugar crash—these DIY Halloween Bath Bombs are your new favorite trick and treat. Think spooky swirls, candy-free gifts, and a little self-care potion-making, all rolled into one bewitching bath-time delight.

These are perfect for mums who’d rather stir up a bath bomb cauldron than bake another round of cupcakes for the class party. They also make fang-tastic gifts for teens, neighbours, or anyone who needs a little seasonal sparkle in their soak.

Why You’ll Love These Spooky Bath Bombs

  • Kid-safe ingredients – No creepy chemicals here 
  • Great for gifting – Pop into mini cauldrons, treat bags, or mason jars 
  • Smells like fall – Think pumpkin spice, candy corn, or sweet orange 
  • Budget-friendly – Uses pantry staples and affordable citric acid 
  • Easy to customize – Add spiders, glitter, glow-in-the-dark mica, or even a surprise toy 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup baking soda 
  • 1/2 cup citric acid 
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch 
  • 1/2 cup Epsom salt or fine sea salt 
  • 2 tsp sweet almond oil (or coconut oil) 
  • 1 tsp water or witch hazel in a spray bottle 
  • 10–15 drops essential oil (sweet orange, lavender, cinnamon, or candy-like blends) 
  • Natural colorants or skin-safe mica powder (orange, purple, black, green) 
  • Optional: eco glitter, mini plastic spiders or Halloween charms 
  • Silicone molds or mini plastic cauldrons 

How to Make Halloween Bath Bombs

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt. Whisk until it’s smooth and uniform—like a dusty spellbook.

2. Blend the Wet Ingredients

In a small bowl, mix your carrier oil and essential oils. Add your chosen colorant and glitter here too. If using black, go light—it can stain tubs if overdone.

3. Combine with Care

Slowly drizzle the wet mixture into the dry mix, whisking continuously. It should feel like damp sand. If it clumps when squeezed, you’re ready. Mist lightly with water or witch hazel if too dry.

4. Add Hidden Surprises

Press a small plastic spider, glow cube, or toy into the center for a trick-or-treat effect!

5. Mold It Up

Spoon the mixture into your molds, pressing firmly. Let them dry at least 24 hours before popping out.

Spooky Variations to Try

 Spider Surprise

Hide a plastic spider inside and use black mica for a creepy crawl effect.

 Pumpkin Spice Delight

Add a dash of cinnamon and orange essential oil with orange coloring.

 Glow-in-the-Dark Witch Bombs

Use glow mica and store under light for a fun bathroom glow!

 Boo Bombs for Kids

Make ghost-shaped fizzies using a silicone mold and sweet vanilla oil.

Packaging Ideas for Gifting

  • Wrap in cellophane with twine and a tag: “Drop in warm water and summon a spooky soak!” 
  • Nestle in mini cauldrons from the dollar store 
  • Use kraft boxes lined with Halloween tissue paper for classy spooky gifting 
  • Add a punny printable tag like “You’re the bomb!” or “Witch, please!” 

Tips & Tricks

  • Don’t over-wet your mixture—it can fizz prematurely. 
  • Use gloves to avoid stained fingers. 
  • Let kids help with colors and pressing (just maybe keep the glitter far away unless it’s a full moon). 

Why These Are Better Than Candy

Let’s be honest—October sugar overload is real. These bath bombs are a charming alternative that still feel like a treat. Plus, they turn your bathroom into a spa and a mad scientist lab.

Whether you’re making them for your kids’ school party, teen Halloween sleepovers, or your own pumpkin-scented peace and quiet after bedtime chaos, these DIY bath bombs are a crafty way to keep Halloween fun—and fizzy.
