6 Face Mask + Bath Pairings For the Perfect Relaxing Soak

It’s said that women are natural multitaskers. I know I can’t go get a glass of water from the kitchen without folding a couple shirts on the way and double tapping some Instagrams before getting back to my desk. So is it crazy to multitask even when you’re relaxing?

Hear me out: you know how when you read a book while lying on the beach you’re essentially performing two important relaxing activities at the same time? Take this idea with you to the tub! Pairing your bath soak with the perfect face mask will make both of them more effective, and you – more relaxed. You can even bring your book if you like.

Cooling down
