My May favorites are two beauty routine bits that have changed my beauty routine, streamlining and multitasking like never before.

Lemon juice in my hair after I wash it.  After I shampoo and condition my hair, I squirt maybe ⅛ of a cup of lemon juice into my roots and wait a minute or so and rinse.  It keeps your scalp happy, makes your hair unbelievably soft for at least 2 days, and it might even lighten your hair but I haven’t noticed a change yet.  It also wipes out any extra product build-up from anything your shampoo can’t get rid of.

Doing a face mask in the shower.  Your pores are already open wide so why not.  Sometimes I do my whole face and sometimes I just use it as a spot mask.  Only using it on my nose, cheeks, chin, or forehead.  It feels so good to get everything out of your skin when you do a mask in the shower.  I love the Freeman Anti-Stress Mask, it works with my skin and is so affordable!
