Pro-Tip Tuesday: Mask It
10:24 AMEver since I was a teenager I've been obsessed with masks. I used to buy the Queen Helene Mint Julep clay mask and spend hours in the bathroom playing spa day. Oh, who am I kidding, I totally still do that. Except it's usually "spa morning" and consists of a hair and face mask thrown into my normal routine when I have a free morning.
Once or twice a month, when my skin is especially dull and my pores are especially clogged I use Origins Clear Improvement charcoal mask. It's a gooey black mask that draws all the gunk out of your pores. If you head to Origins they will give you a free mini facial with this mask! I went in recently and loved the experience.
On occasion I'll stop at Lush and buy one of their natural face masks. I absolutely love them but they usually expire before I get to use the whole tub. I'm a big fan of Cosmetic Catastrophe and Love Lettuce, pictured above. If you've never tried a Lush mask before you should definitely check them out. I've also heard amazing things about GlamGlow but with its $69 price tag I am skeptical! Anyone out there tried it? Is it worthy of the price? I am certainly tempted to try it.
For me, a hair mask is just as important as face masks. I am lazy about hair cuts so I try to maintain it as best I can with products. I've long been a fan of Bumble & Bumble hair masks and deep conditioners, but lately, I've been really into Living Proof products, especially their Restore mask. It has a unique smell that is slightly spicy but clean and it makes my hair feel so soft! Especially when you use it week after week.
These are just a few of my favorites that I have used over the years. What deep conditioners and face masks do you use?
