Adding This One Thing to Your Masking Routine Might Change Everything

Before you roll your eyes at this extra step in your masking routine, hear me out. Have you ever thought about all the dirt, oil, and grime you’re transporting onto your skin when you apply a mask with your hands? Applying your mask with a clean brush lowers the chances of any of that gross stuff sticking to your skin and makes your process even more pure with special spa-like feels. With a mask brush, you’ll find yourself using way less product because it’s so much easier to distribute an even, thin layer onto your skin. Not to mention that it cuts your cleanup time in half because it’s not all over your hands and sink. Plus, it makes your masking session feel so zen. There’s something about applying a mask with a brush that feels 10 times better. The next time one of your masks comes with a brush, don’t throw it out. Or even better, cop one of the below mask brushes and watch how good this extra step feels.
