Who doesn’t love a spa day??
Goodness knows that I could use an actual facial, in fact I have my eyes fixed on a Hydrafacial (This treatment offers the perfect skin care solution for the time-challenged, by bathing the skin in rich antioxidants and deeply hydrating hyaluronic acid. It starts with deep cleansing and gentle exfoliation, followed by painless extractions, and ends with a burst of hydration.—Relax the Spa)
But the reality is, spa days are far and few between. So what’s a mama to do?
Try all the at-home masks she can!
Here are a few of my favorites.
These guys have been on rotation for awhile now; a friend told me about them and she didn’t steer me wrong! They’re great to keep in the refrigerator for an extra cooling effect. They’re SUPER inexpensive and I feel like the do a little something for my under eyes.
I also grabbed these off of Amazon after my step mom gifted one in my stocking last year!
I honestly do think my lips look a little more full for a few hours, but more than anything the hydration is KEY! These NY Winters are so tough on our skin.
My husband and kids think I look ridiculous, but hey if I can help any wrinkles, (that may or may not be caused by them! Just kidding, I’m sure the dogs are mostly to blame!)
For Christmas my future sister in law gifted me these gold eye patches and OMG. Talk about a luxe treatment!! If you are looking to splurge a bit and get an even better effect–try these!
I still can’t decide which way to put them on…I like them both ways! Christmas morning sipping on some Cocoa.
The last facial I did get at a spa was on my 37th birthday in July and the girl told me that ANYTHING in Korean skin care was the way to go.
My friend Kristin hooked me up with some of these from a shop where she works, and I LOVED them! I then spotted them at Walgreens and just stocked up.
I’ve been trying to make it a habit to use them once a week minimum and I must say that I believe that it’s helping my skin stay hydrated, clearer and for sure getting a more “glowy” look with my makeup.
The “bubble sheet mask” was a bit crazy! It did bubble up quite a bit and was rather foamy. I will say it wasn’t one of my favorites, I really love the gold masks and the pearl!
What Masks are Great for:
- before date nights
- in the mornings before applying makeup (especially the eye patches!)
-
- Late mommy nights or partying the night before? Use these!
- at night before bed to relax
- any time you’re feeling stressed out and need to “take a pause” from kids, dogs, LIFE!
