MASK ON: BENEFITS OF FACE MASKS

When’s the last time you treated yourself to a mini at home spa day? Sis, we are talking about the full package complete with a facemask, some candles, a good playlist…and maybe a glass of wine? If it’s been a while, this is your sign that it is time to indulge.

Adding weekly face masks to your skin care routine is going to level up your moisture game and your melanted glow.

Face masks with natural ingredients can:

• Remove unwanted oils from your skin
• Keep your skin hydrated
• Slow wrinkles and other forms of aging
• Unclog pores
• Provide therapeutic relief

The key word here is natural. Make sure to check those labels! Some commercially produced face masks can contain harmful chemicals like formaldehyde. For your best skin and well-being, opt for Black-owned brands that prioritize your health as much as they prioritize your look. Natural ingredients like Moroccan rhassoul clay, turmeric powder, and activated charcoal will help to remove impurities while also nourishing your skin. We love these products from Natural Mixologist because they were created with TLC and you in mind.
