ASSEMBLING A TOOLKIT

Nothing makes me crazier than mixing a mask or toner, only to realize I forgot a basic tool.

It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize my life would be much easier if I just

bought a set of dedicated DIY tools—which is surprisingly simple and inexpensive.

And worth it. Because there are only so many jam jars a family can go through, and

trying to cook dinner with the same tools you just used for clay? Is not recommended.

Measuring cups

Pretty self-explanatory!

Funnel

There’s nothing worse than

trying to pour a concoction

into a storage bottle and

spilling half of it on the

counter.

Small spray bottles

You have to have something to

spritz those mists and toners

onto your face.

Facial brush

Yes, you can definitely use your

fingers. But trust me, this little

tool makes applying masks

much less messy.

Soft washcloth

Perfect for a quick steam before

your mask to open up the pores.

Also helpful for gently removing

the mask without damaging

skin.

Headband

Besides keeping your hair back,

it’ll make it easy to apply your

mask up to your hairline, an

often-neglected area.

Measuring spoons

Avoid metal because you

shouldn’t use it with clay.

Mixing bowls

A set with lids is ideal for

mixing face mask ingredients

together and storing leftovers

in the fridge. Again, go with

glass—it just makes life easier.

Coffee grinder

It’s unexpected, but invaluable.

Mine gets used on the regular

to grind almonds, rice, oatmeal,

and dried herbs.

Small blender

A small handheld or

immersion blender quickly

mixes and purees ingredients.

Much easier than digging out

the food processor!
