Happy Sunday beautiful people! What are we doing today for ourselves? My Sundays are usually filled with meal prep, hair washing, and laundry but not today! Today, I’m making time to pamper my face.
I love face masks, I not only love the results but I love the intentional step of taking care of my skin. Plus, it helps that it makes me feel Extra AF.
What I don’t like is the price, a good to decent face mask from let’s say, Target can range anywhere from $3.99-$ 52, with the price jumping significantly if shopping at stores like Sephora.
Yes, we want quality and our face deserves the best but what about feeding our face with the very same natural food we feed ourselves? It’s cheaper, it’s fresher and we know exactly what its made out of.
On this Self-care Sunday, I’m sharing 5 DIY natural Face masks with ingredients that I have in my apartment right now. They are simple and easy enough that you don’t have to leave your house or your robe.
