Sheet masks are a superb way to give your skin an instant moisture injection, but they are often extremely bad for the environment as they are generally single-use, non-biodegradable (thanks to the chemicals they are soaked in) and come wrapped in plastic packaging. But fear not, I am not about to inform you you must forgo your sheet mask addiction. Instead you can try the simple, eco-friendly, and uber satisfying option of making your own.
Taking a clean organic cotton muslin cloth; cut eye, mouth and nose holes into it and then drench in your favourite moisturising serum. And voila, a sheet mask that you can rinse and reuse over and over again.
TOP TIP:
Squeeze any leftover product and rub it into your hands and feet. This gives them some moisture and TLC too, plus it has the added benefit of preventing you from doing anything else for the 15 – 20 mins your mask is on, so you can make the most of some always needed me-time, without being glued to your phone.

Step Six: And We’re Rolling, Rolling…
A rose quartz or jade roller is one of those life changing products that once you start using, you’ll be unsure of how your face ever got by without it.
Now that you’re settled somewhere comfortable with your beautifully clean skin and sheet mask in place, it’s time to give this baby the stage with a detoxifying facial massage. Using a medium firm pressure, roll across your face in slow deliberate movements, starting at the centre – using the smaller end of the roller for the delicate eye areas.
