Let’s be honest, we love face masks in all forms – whether they’re sheets, pastes or the all-nighter kind. And now here’s another addition to that mix – the DIY kind. Since you can’t really run to the store to stock up for your next mask fix, it makes sense to try out those beauty recipes that your grandma always told you about. With all that extra time on your hands, raid your kitchen cabinets to whip up a mask that is tailor-made to suit your needs, addressing every concern in the gentlest and most natural way. The best part? They’re good enough to give those salon facials a run for their money.
