Picture this: you come home after a long 9-5 shift. The house is cleaned, it’s a crisp fall night but not too cold. Cold enough to allow you to enjoy a hot shower and proceed to put on your favorite Brandy Melville joggers and a hoodie. The Pumpkin Pecan Waffles candle is burning in the corner and Friends is on the television. You pour yourself a glass of Cabernet and put on your favorite rose scented face mask.
OK, I know this is not how everyone spends their nights but there are definitely days where we all want to let our hair down, throw our feet up and just relax. It’s the simple things in life that makes us appreciative.
There is nothing more relaxing than actually having the time to spend pampering yourself. And there is no better way to pamper yourself than slathering on a face mask. They make your Sunday scaries go away and will leave you a radiant complex.
There are tons of face masks on the market right now. Some work amazing while others are not worth the money. However, there are so many benefits to applying face masks. They are relaxing. Most face masks include a relaxing fragrance like rose, lavender, mint or other essential oils. With some, the smell alone is the relaxing part. They can help unwind after a long day and put your mind at ease. Running a hot bath, light some candles and let the mask do its thing. Set a day or two where you can allow yourself to enjoy some “me” time.
Another benefit of face masks they help to unclog pores and deep clean. Cleansing your skin isn’t always enough. Thats why it’s recommended to apply face masks after washing away your makeup. They help do a deeper clean because a facial cleanser only does a surface rinse. Face masks can help to draw out impurities that are underneath the skin and bring them to the surface.
Lastly, one of the best benefits is it can help your overall skin care routine. Once your skin has been cleaned and your face mask has come off, you’ll typically apply a serum, acne medication, moisturizer, etc. You’re really allowing your skin to be as unclogged and opened as possible. Resulting in your lotions and serums to penetrate into the skin.
