Using a facial mask is like going for tuition after school: It may not be strictly “necessary”, but it gives your skin that extra boost so it goes from good to great.
When I want smoother skin, I go for this mud mask which shows results in just 10 minutes. It has mud from France’s Mediterranean Sea as well as ancient volcanic pumice rock to exfoliate, boost collagen production and absorb impurities without removing natural oils, giving you firmer skin and tighter pores. It also has a blend of time-release antioxidants, such as super-squalene and polyphenols, to fight against free radical damage.
This marshmallow-textured mask is great for softening rough complexions. It has skin-smoothing black tea extract, collagen-boosting lychee seed extract and nourishing jicima root juice to intensely hydrate, plump up and even out skin texture.
This is my go-to whenever I have breakouts or my skin is stressed. The cream mask has zinc oxide and sulfur to deeply cleanse, absorb excess oils and slough off dead skin cells, leaving the complexion clear, clean and pimple-free in just 10 minutes.
Whenever I’m travelling or look tired, I always use this. This three-part treatment has a lotion, serum and mask, and replaces your regular skincare regime and helps to refresh, soften and brighten the complexion so you look more youthful the morning after. It also gently exfoliates and nourishes skin.
