Do You Ever Use A Cleansing Face Mask?

Tonight I purchased a cleansing face mask. I put it on and left it on for 5 minutes. Oh, it was so relaxing to my face. I could just feel it cleansing my face and it felt so awesome. I'm a single mother and sometimes I just let myself go, but I really want to start focusing on me and what makes me feel good and start taking care of myself. Not just for me but for my children too because I believe a "happy mom" will make for "happy children". Sometimes I think we as parents get so stressed out about everyday life that we sometimes push that stress on our children, not meaning to, but we do, do it. So, how about you, do you use a cleansing face mask or do you do anything else that helps relax you and make you feel better?

I use one of the heating face mask that get really warm when you put it on your face. I am not sure if it has ever helped my face look any better but it always relaxes me and makes me feel much more calm feeling. I use one about once a week and always look forward to getting to spend a little time to myself relaxing. It always makes the week go much better when I have had a little time to myself!!

Yes, I felt the one I had tonight was so relaxing as well. If only the kids were asleep and I could take a much needed relaxing bubble bath. That would be so nice!

There are several different kinds on my shelf, and I love alternating them. Each gives a different sensation, but they're all so relaxing and they make the skin feel like a silken pillow. It's so soft and smooth! I've found a bunch through some of the freebie sites, and samples last through 2-3 uses most times. That's enough for me to know if I'm willing to part with $$$ to get more. Frankly, I've found the Olay ones to be more satisfying than the really expensive ones at Macy's.

no. i have done it before. but was lazy to continue with it. but it is really so refreshing to the feeling and also it is cost some money to buy that often. i don't advice to use that often. i think it is only safe to use that once or twice in a week. cause it can dry the skin a lot if we use that every day. if ever i have the time i think i will just be happy to use it twice a month.

Sometimes I love to use cleansing masks, especially when my face starts breaking out for any reason. I haven't shopped for any lately, but I used to buy Avon products, they were pretty refreshing!

I like to use them but I don't use them often. I just bought one the other day and have yet to use it. I'm thinking about slathering it on sometime tonight before I go in for my shower because it's one of those masks that take about 10 minutes to work completely. I like using something that cleans deeper than regular cleansers do. Plus, the smell of some of the masks is amazing.

[i]I haven't tried that but I also love to take care of myself by eating fruits and vegetables regularly although I still cannot say No to junk foods! LOL! I will get a lot of sleep and drink a lot of water to makes me feel good as well as listen to my favorite music will always inspire me![/i]

Yes I use a deep cleansing mask regularly! It cleans the dirt and pores on my face and I feel so wonderful after using it. I use it once a week and I have discovered a really good one that I am now sticking with it and the bag lasts for around 1 year! I would also follow by doing some other masks too!

I don't use any of those peel off masks, but I have this one stuff my sister gave me. You spread the blue stuff on your face and when it dries it changes to a white. Then you are suppose to wash it off. It makes my skin feel better. I normally do it before hopping in the shower once a week. Other than that I use this St. Ives Apricot scrub when I am in the shower.

Wow, glad that you really focus on how you will feel better, and try not to be affected by a lot of stress. I am still single but yes i do feel exhausted most of the time because of work pressure, budgeting salary and how to manage to pay bills, how to support parents (they are old and not working anymore). Its stressful when i do think all of them you know?, but yes i really treat myself just to help me feel better and have a healthy mind, spirit and body. Mind, i do love to join mylot and express opinions and feelings in here. Spirit, i love reading inspirational books and the bible for guidance. Body?, i am maintaining proper diet for me, which is lots of fruits and veggies and adequate intake of water. I pamper myself during my bath time, i do have cleansing, scrubbing, moisturizing processes to my skin. I love my apple mask, which really makes my face so soft and smooth. Or try oatmeal mask, it really lovely :)

I agree with you. I don't have a lot of me time even with the help of my husband. Our daughters can be very demanding and they always seem to need something. This year my husband and decided to start doing a little more for ourselves, much for the same reasons as you have. We decided to start taking time for ourselves, there are times when my husband goes out with the boys and although he has told me I could do the same (not that I need his permission,LOL.) I find that my time to myself is better spent taking a hot relaxing bath, ususally with a facial cleansing mask on, and a good book. I find that when I have time for myself, I feel a lot happier and I tend to notice that the girls are too. I think you are right, in order to make our children happy, we have to be happy because they pick up on our emotions.

Im still single, and i always make it a point to pamper myself. I use homemade beauty remedy though. I dont buy face mask, i make my own. I use kitchen ingredients like olive oil, oatmeal, egg and fruits like banana and apple. I also pamper myself with natural body scrub using sugar and olive oil. this makes my skin soft so smooth and most people tell me that my best asset is skin. Its a compliment i know. At nighttime before bed, i like to put vaseline or olive oil to my feet and put cotton socks on it. I also dab amount of olive oil to my lips. I am always happy doing my things. Its how i treat myself after a long day at work. Its not good if you are always affected by stress, whatever happens, always give time to take care of yourself. Be a happy mom. Happy mylotting!
