This Mask Is Like A Virgin Mojito For Your Face
The days of summer are numbered. As of today, we have 28 left (less than a month!), and we're going to make the most of it because—let's be realistic—there will be at least one heat wave before autumn's chill is here to stay.
One of the best ways to enjoy late summer, which is its own special season according to traditional Chinese medicine, is to embrace the mix of warm and cool weather that's to come. If you find yourself wishing you were on vacation, use it as an excuse to give yourself an at-home spa day.
This mask was formulated for warmer days to bring a cool, calming energy to the skin. Use it on mild sunburns, as a weekly hydration treatment, and/or when it's too damn hot to do anything else.
