While going in for fancy facials is a great way to keep your skin glowing, they can be pricey and can burn a hole in your pocket. Drugstore face masks are a doable alternative, but sometimes you just want to save on those pennies. So when you’re looking for all the power of a great face mask on a budget, it is time to mix up the perfect DIY face mask using domestic goodies you have at hand. Mixing up a face mask at home is easy-peasy and cost-effective. The added plus is that you can store your concoction in a jar in the fridge so it’s ready to use whenever you need a little extra something to slap on your skin.
