I will say that the one good thing that has come out of this ridiculously icky weather has been plenty of beauty product banter on this blog—solutions for everything from frizz to melting makeup. Plus, I’ve practically turned my apartment into a spa to cope with the maddening heat. Maddening, I tell you. You see, I sit patiently on my daily subway ride home from the office, enduring a 40-minute trek to Brooklyn, and I DON’T freak out when someone decides to clip their nails across from me, or basically buries me in their pile of bags from Macy’s, or sits down next to me wit a stench that could kill a family of badgers.

I practice restraint, because I know that once I get off that subway, I can return to my apartment, change into pajamas, drink some sauvignon blanc, and wash my face. So simple, but it feels so darn good—better than whatever that weird thing Zac Efron said about cool water on his poison oak wounds. And then, yesterday, this routine became exponentially more enjoyable when I used the Amala Hydrating Yogurt Mask. It cooled my skin on contact, and after 10 minutes, the mixture of jasmine and wild rose left my skin soft and refreshed and my mind at ease (which is like the best bonus side effect ever).
