Read MoreWhile I’m a stickler for taking the time to mask multiple times a week (it’s for mental health, too), sometimes a girl just wants to be straight-up pampered. However, unlike those enviable few who can spend a fortune on every chemical peel and LED facial on the market, I like to time my treatments just…

Read MoreFor most of us ladies, we normally engage in self-care at least once a week.
