On an average weekend, you and your closest friends head from one appointment to the next, taking care of your nails, brows, dye jobs, or whatever else is on your growing list of to-dos. But even when you can't be physically together, you and your fellow beauty-obsessed friends can still spend quality time together doing what you love most: catching up during your manis, facials, massages, and so on.
With FaceTime, Zoom, or the other video conferencing app of your choice, you can turn any ol' night into a spa session with these at-home solutions, including face masks, hair treatments, nail polish kits, and other top-notch beauty products. Some of them — mud masks, for example (or this lightly terrifying SpongeBob number) — will even make for an extra-cute picture for the 'Gram.

Face Masks
Have everyone grab a face mask that best suits their needs — detoxifying, exfoliating, brightening, hydrating, and more — for an at-home spa night. Opt for a sheet mask for easy cleanup, or go all out with a peel-off mask for a deep clean. Best of all, these masks double as a face filter, so bring on the screenshots.
