I used to work in the beauty industry for one of the biggest skincare brands in the world, so it’s safe to say that I am an avid skincare junkie and I love trying out new products and skincare rituals to see what works best for my skin. While I’ve been spending more time at home, face masks have become an almost daily ritual and I have kind of become obsessed. Since I use them so often, I decided to give homemade face masks a go and see if I could make masks that worked just as good as those I bought in-store.
The verdict: these DIY face masks are just as good, if not BETTER than some of the face masks I have purchased and spent tonsss of money on!
For these 3 DIY Face Mask Tutorials, I chose to use different essential oils and natural household ingredients that you can find in your kitchen. These face masks are made only with clean ingredients that you can trust and have detoxifying or soothing properties to give your skin that glistening glow!
