DIY FACE MASKS
Hey pale face, hello puff queen, everything okay? How am I doing? Bone dry, and I'm not just talking about dry January, no you dirty bird, and not about that either. My cheeks, hands, and legs; the Sahara has nothing on this. The heating is blasting and that freezing cold isn't doing any favors either. You know what I'm talking about, right? And I don't know how it is for you, but I'm still recovering from December. Read: expensive beauty treatments and luxury pots are not allowed yet. Recognizable? Here I am. Your savior in distress.
Raid your fridge, fill your blender, and make your own face mask in no time. Because did you know, for example, that that banana gives your skin a big moisture boost, that ripe mango works skin-rejuvenating magic, and that honey is often called the natural antibiotic? Today, no recipe that ends up on your plate, but on those bone-dry cheeks of yours.
Which concoction will you choose?
