FACE IT! ! ! <3

Face It
by the Brio staff

Get in the kitchen and whip up a facial mask for you and your friends. Make sure you get permission from your parents before using the kitchen and ingredients. If at any point you have a stinging sensation from a facial mask, completely rinse off the mask. You may be allergic to the ingredients used. (Test behind your ears before applying mask to your entire face to check for an allergic reaction.) Don’t apply masks more than once a week. Follow each mask with a facial moisturizer for your skin type.
