While this time of year is often referred to as the most wonderful, it is also, understandably, quite stressful for some of us.
I’d wager more of us than not can relate to my previous statement.
With family gatherings, dinners, gifts and decorating, it makes sense that we might be feeling a bit overwhelmed. Throw COVID and all of its lovely bullshit into the mix and you’re on the verge of a flaming dumpster fire.
I thought I would share some recipes to create some nourishing and beneficial face masks from the comfort of home, because for me, personally, stress and acne go hand-in-hand. These particular masks come from elle.com.
“DIY Face Mask Recipe To… Balance Dry Skin
If you’ve exhausted your stash of hyaluronic acid serums and your dry skin still isn’t getting the memo, then Escapada Health Co-Founder, Emilia Herting’s DIY face mask recipe is the one for you.

DIY Face Mask Recipe To… Target Hyper Pigmentation
If you’re not keen on throwing every acid and vitamin in the book at your pigmentation, then founder of inclusive wellness platform thy.self, Chloe Pierre, has got you sorted with her DIY face mask recipe that targets just that.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- 1 tbsp of fresh turmeric/ turmeric powder (juiced or pressed)
- 1 tbsp of fresh lemon juice

I encourage you to check out the entire web page as there are eight other face mask recipes provided, all of which could arguably be beneficial this holiday season.
