Have a spa day and treat yourself to these DIY face masks
Now that the seasons are changing, we're starting to notice the effects of it on our skin. We’ve suddenly got a mammoth of spots popping up on our faces as a result of the weather we've been encountering.
If you’re in a bit of a skincare slump at the minute but don’t know how to get out of it, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered!
One of our aims for this year is to be a bit more creative and crafty, and one of the easiest (and most fun) ways to do that is to make a few of your own beauty products. Personally, we’re all about skincare, and so we thoroughly enjoy making our own DIY face masks (yes, the beauty kind, not the Covid kind).
If you’re looking for some face mask inspo, you have come to the right place! We are about to share with you a few of our all-time favourite homemade face mask recipes, which will hopefully spark up your desire to create one yourself. Besides, with the hecticness of summertime, you deserve a little pampering and a bit of me-time:
