Homework can not only be extremely stressful, but it’s time-consuming as hell — the impending fall months are giving us major stress flashbacks when we stayed up late working on biology papers. That said, there are some lovely self-care ways to multitask while you’re hard at work, and one way is by using a beauty face mask. We’re all mask junkies around these parts, and we can think of no better way to add a touch of glamour to the tedium of school work.
Masks not only calm your skin, but they soothe your soul, as well — making them the perfect addition to your evening homework routine. What causes pimples? Stress. What alleviates irritated skin? Masks. This is basically math, you guys. And no matter what your skin issue may be — whether it’s acne, redness, clogged pores, dryness, or oiliness — we’ve got a mask for you.
The mousse texture makes it insanely easy to apply and the volcanic clay removes dead skin cells, cleans out your pores, and leaves your skin silky smooth.
