The hectic work week can wreak havoc on our skin care. You try to start the week off waking up early to take time to treat skin, but somehow by the time Friday rolls around, you're waking up in a panic, throwing your makeup on, and forgetting all the steps in between.

Facial. Step two to making it up to your tired skin is a good facial. Consider a facial sheet. Sheet masks feature a cloth sheet that is pre-cut to match the contours of your face and is soaked in a special serum to help improve skin's look, feel and texture. They are easy-to-use with virtually no cleanup necessary. Easy and done.
