Taking the time to enjoy some self-care at home is a great thing! Making the effort to engage in an activity you love or purposely setting aside time that you normally don’t for yourself is a needed part of all of our weeks.
DIY Face Masks are a fun, easy, and inexpensive way to treat yourself! While they might not be the most effective for treating your skin (no retinol in these), they are relaxing and enjoyable! The best part is that you probably have most of these ingredients at home already. Do it yourself face masks could be made tonight!
If you have a teen or tween in your life, these DIY facemasks are a perfect opportunity to do something together! Make it a spa night at home with facemakes, nail painting, and maybe a rom-com to end the night with.
