Once upon a Sunday, there was a girl who needed a vacation.
Ok...so maybe life isn't a fairytale, but every now and again a little personal vacation is needed. A getaway. A reminder to take time for ourselves because we're worth it. Now, I don't have money for a spa visit or hours of self-indulgence, so anything that makes me feel like $100 in 10 minutes, for less than $100, is fair game. Plus, I have extremely sensitive skin, so when I find a product that works, I keep it around.
What are my two top skincare picks? Shiseido's White Lucent Intensive Brightening Mask and Borghese's Fango Active Mud mask for face and body. I use Shiseido's mask in the winter to turn my dull skin into luminous skin and the Borghese mask in the summer to help unclog my pores and recharge my face.
Shiseido's Brightening masks runs about $68 for a pack of 6, although I tend to buy mine off eBay if I can find it cheaper. Additionally, they recommend using it once weekly, but I find that once a month produces good results as well. Then they last me all winter!
Borghese's Active mud mask is thick and cool to the touch. It creates a tingling sensation which lets you know it's working. Because it's so thick I recommend washing it off with a sponge or in the shower. It can be a little messy, but it's wonderful. It runs you about $61, but lasts forever.
Enjoy your personal spa day. Here's to feeling beautiful all year for a fraction of the spa costs.
When I feel a tingling sensation, that's how I know my foot and possibly my whole leg has fallen asleep. The mask freaks me out a bit. If you need mud I can get you some of the best mud in all of Iowa. I'd even get it to you cheaper than 61 bucks a pop. You want 1, or 5 gallons?
ReplyDeleteDoes this work your for skin? I have lots of acne... Would it help me?!?!?
ReplyDeleteit's not an acne solution, but I suffer from acne as well and it helps me keep it in check. Everyone's skin is different, so there's no miracle solution, but I find it refreshing and a great cleanse.
