Beijing's ladies are no strangers to the healing properties of a facial, but regular spa visits can deplete the wallet. Those who turn to a DIY approach find that cloth facemasks are a great way to cleanse and moisturize one’s skin without coating the bathroom in gunk. Applying the moist cloth directly onto your face ensures that hydration is locked into the skin; in less than 30 minutes, when you peel it off and dispose of it, you can sit back and enjoy your fresh, glowing visage.
