Need a new routine to add to your #SundayFunday? Try some of these facemasks, which you probably already have the ingredients for in your fridge or lying around at home.
It’s always important before applying any facemask to open up your pores first. Try placing a hand towel in warm water, then squeeze out enough water so the towel isn’t dripping and finally place the towel over your face, or pat your face with it for 3-5 minutes. This prep step will allow the DIY facemask to work more effectively.

1/2 small banana, mashed
2 tablespoons ACV
