Five Easy Spa Facial Masks to Try at Home

Happy Monday! I hope you guys had a great weekend. As for me, it was basically a relaxing weekend full of catching up on the latest TV shows and getting glammed up for the upcoming week. During my free weekends when I absolutely have nothing to do, I like to engage in my own little spa life at home such as giving myself homemade spa facials and in addition to doing a mani and a pedi of course! I usually find an area somewhere in my house and just set up a spa-like environment with scented candles and a music playlist.

I love doing homemade spa facials because for one thing, it’s a lot cheaper in my pockets than going to an expensive spa. I don’t mind treating myself once in a while to the spa, but as a college student I have to watch my budget and be smart about my spending. The second thing is that I know what ingredients that I’m using on my face, which are basically all natural stuff. I have sensitive skin as I break out easily, so I have to be careful about what I use. Since I have been using homemade facial masks, my face has improved looking so much better removing the fine lines and small breakouts. 

In addition to the facials, I drink detox tea at least 2-3 times  a week. Yogi has a good detox tea in their collection called “Berry Detox” and works well in getting out all the toxins in the body. Here are my favorite top five spa facial masks to try at home. And guess what guys? These facial mask recipes are super easy! Even if you never even created a homemade facial mask before, it’s pretty simple. So let’s get to it shall we?
