Taking time out of your busy schedule to reflect and recharge is an essential part of a balanced, healthy lifestyle. Whether you’re new to meditation or practice regularly, it can be hard to find to set the time aside to stand still. Might we suggest a little mindful multitasking? Using a sheet mask while meditating not only helps you feel relaxed, but the added benefits for your skin are palpable, and you’ll find yourself ending your practice looking and feeling ready for the week ahead. Check out our favourite face masks, from luxury to eco-friendly.
