If there’s one thing that calms me down like nothing else, it’s a tried and perfected skincare routine. After a long and stressful day at work all I want to do is take a steamy shower, let all my pores de-clog, and then spend time massaging in face oils and moisturisers. After all of that, my favourite time of the day is when I put on a sheet mask, sip on green tea and forget about my overflowing email inbox, about the world ending sooner rather than later, and about how the guy I’ve been texting hasn’t been replying with the same enthusiasm lately.
Well, all that crying is for another day and another article. Until then, if you wanna be in zen mode with me, you’ve got to give sheet mask therapy a go–it really works!
