DIY face masks for every skin type

Caity Healy | Lifestyle Editor

Maintaining healthy and vibrant skin can be incredibly difficult. However, finding a way to do it can be exactly what you need to look more awake, have softer skin and feel more confident overall.

Face masks are an easy and effective way to achieve this. Purchasing them can get expensive, though, especially if it’s something you’re looking to do on a semi-regular basis. Why spend money on these masks when you often have the supplies to make masks for yourself right at home? No matter what the face type, there’s a face mask for you.
