FLOWER MILL | CALMING CHAMOMILE MASK
$42
WWW.FLOWERMILLBEAUTY.COM
Treat yourself to a much-deserved facial and turn your bathroom into a temporary oasis of aromatherapy with the Calming Chamomile Mask from Flower Mill. Suitable for sensitive skin types, this must-have mask thoughtfully combines white kaolin clay with chamomile and calendula flowers which help hydrate, strengthen, and soothe skin as pores are being cleared. Made with the most gentle form of Kaolin clay, this mask is a powerhouse as it still takes on the task of heavy-lifting by helping to draw out dirt, grime and blackheads. Chamomile meanwhile has anti-inflammatory properties and is one of the most important herbal ingredients for sensitive skin as it does wonders to help soothe irritation. The answer to the respite-seeking maskers dilemma– this mask smooths on easily and slightly tingles as it sits on skin as if to remind you to sit still and not touch it as it clears and tightens your pores!YOUR TEA | WELLNESS BOX or MINI MAKEOVER BOX

020 has taken all of us for a wild ride. In what may have felt like a blink of an eye, the world shifted dramatically, unexpectedly and overwhelmingly.

It’s important more than ever to be still and recognize that what you are currently feeling is valid. Feel your feelings and when you’re ready, channel those energies to focus on yourself. Use this time to take care of you. Be gentle with your body and mind and breathe through your fears or anxieties. Find ways to stay positive and create small moments of joy.

Pampering yourself is one of those things you know you’re supposed to do consistently to avoid burnout- but when it comes to actually getting around to it, we often but it on the back burner. If your schedule is seriously busy, it might seem hopeless to somehow squeeze in a little “me” time. That’s where the challenge comes in, because the busier you are, the more important self-care becomes. It turns out there are simple things you can do to jumpstart a self-pampering mindset amidst the hustle and bustle of daily work life, even on the especially-busy days. It doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive, but it does require another valuable resource: time. There’s no other way around it. If you want to take a break from it all and indulge in your own little world of bliss, you need to set aside time, even if it is just a few minutes a day.Self-care means putting yourself first from time to time and putting a pause on work, obligations and caring for others. It’s like operating a machine; it needs to be tuned up regularly for it to be able to function effectively and serve its purpose. Think of self-care as like a do-it-yourself regular tune-up for your mind, body and spirit.
