When it comes to skincare, nature provides some of the most powerful ingredients for a healthy, glowing complexion. From honey and turmeric to activated charcoal and bentonite clay, these ingredients have been used for centuries to purify, brighten, and nourish the skin.
At Hafen Beauty, we believe in simple, effective skincare that honors the body’s natural balance. That’s why we’ve created these DIY face mask recipes, each featuring one of our signature ingredients—tallow, tamanu oil, cold-pressed organic body oil, or castor oil. These masks are free of synthetic additives, allowing your skin to thrive with clean, wholesome nourishment.
1. Deep Detox Charcoal & Tallow Mask (Great for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin)
This mask draws out impurities, controls excess oil, and hydrates without clogging pores.
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp activated charcoal (detoxifies and unclogs pores)
- 1 tsp bentonite clay (absorbs toxins and reduces breakouts)
- ½ tsp raw honey (antibacterial and soothing)
- 1 tsp Hafen’s Tallow (deeply nourishing, full of skin-healing vitamins)
- 2 tsp filtered water or rose water
Instructions:
- Mix the charcoal, bentonite clay, and honey in a small bowl.
- Add tallow and mix until smooth.
- Apply a thin layer to your face and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Follow with a light moisturizer.
2. Brightening Turmeric & Tamanu Mask (Ideal for Hyperpigmentation & Dull Skin)
Turmeric brightens, evens skin tone, and fights inflammation, while tamanu oil deeply hydrates and supports skin renewal.
Ingredients:
- ½ tsp turmeric powder (reduces redness and hyperpigmentation)
- 1 tbsp organic aloe vera gel (soothes and hydrates)
- ½ tsp Hafen’s Tamanu Oil (renews skin and fights free radicals)
- 1 tsp kaolin clay (gently exfoliates and refines pores)
Instructions:
- Mix all ingredients until smooth.
- Apply to clean skin and leave on for 10-15 minutes.

Tip: Use this mask at night, as turmeric can leave a slight yellow tint.
