We all want a spa day. Whether we just had a beyond-long work day or our little children were just acting up or for a million other reasons our days just felt impossible, our skin and our body, and our mind could use a serious break with a face mask. While we could buy a special mask to help us feeling like ourselves again, there are some truly great masks out there that could help us feel better in a minute. Depending on what you need, we’ve got just what you’re looking for!
1. Avocado, Yogurt, and Honey Mask
This mask is great for a multitude of reasons and dermatologist Sejal Shah explains that this face mask is”Rich in healthy fats, vitamins, and antioxidants, avocado is very hydrating.” Yogurt can be an exfoliating agent and honey is full of hydration, so this is great if you’re looking for something that is as moisturizing as it is relaxing!
To make this max, mix:
- Half an avocado
- One tablespoon of yogurt
- One teaspoon of honey
Use a blender. It looks like the journalist at Self had a hard time removing clumps when she tried to hand mix, so mixing with something that can help smooth it all out evenly is sure to make the mix come out better.
