As much as I love face masks, I haven't used them much at all this year. Though I prefer to apply masks myself, I also enjoy the single use masks even if they're much too large for my little face (you can fold them in specific areas to create a better fit). One of the full size products in this month's Beauty Box 5 was the Retinal Spa Treatment Mask by Global Beauty Care which you can find at places like Bed Bath & Beyond or ULTA. This mask helps to minimize expression lines and wrinkles, boost cell renewal and delay the effects of skin aging.






This mask was extremely moisturized and had a very light cooling effect. While wearing the mask for twenty minutes, I made some decaffeinated green tea, got all snuggly in bed with my Disney Castle blanket and dove into Psalms. Afterwards, I removed the mask and washed off the excess serum. My face felt refreshed and perfectly smooth! I think these few simple steps create a relaxing night in to help yourself unwind before you call it a day. Just make sure you're not staring at a screen for too long and right before you sleep. Our phones, computers, and TVs all emit blue light which causes eye strain, macular degeneration, and sleep disruption. I'd highly recommend getting the Twilight app for your phone which is basically a blue light filter. I actually keep it on all day on my phone and computer! Of course, you can also opt for the old fashioned way and grab a book! ;)

How often do you use a face mask and what do you like to do to unwind for the night?
