* I call the time when we have home-made masks on our faces facial meditation. There are a lot of variations of basic meditation. One of them suggests sitting or lying doing nothing but being aware of our breathing. Just sit or lie still with your mask on inhaling slowly through your nose, then exhaling long through your mouth. Enjoy taking care of yourself, enjoy your facial meditation time.
Breathe, smile and be happy.
