Of the many emerging trends that came about during the pandemic, it seems that speed masking (concentrated beauty formulas that take 5 to 10 minutes to kick in) is here to stay! While we may have the extra time in our hands to dedicate to our routines, there’s nothing like a quick and easy regimen to make you feel refreshed and accomplished in little time.
Have you tried speed masking yet? These 10-minutes-or-less wonders will completely revamp your routines.
