After washing my face, I did one of my favorite things – used my facial steamer. This lasts for about 10 minutes. After the facial steamer was done, I put on a sheet mask.

Have We Got Our Priorities Wrong When It Comes To Self Care?
When we talk about good health what’s the first thing that pops into your mind? A healthy diet? Plenty of exercise? Plates full of leafy greens and toned bodies striding confidently on treadmills? A lean, toned abdomen, glossy silky hair, bright, sparkling eyes, clear radiant skin and pristine white teeth?
