Discover why you should be adding a nourishing mask to your beauty routine
Have you ever wondered why people rave about face masks? Your shelves are already lined with creams, oils and scrubs, so why do you need to add another product to your collection? Well, we have three reasons why a face mask is destined to become a new favourite in your weekly routine.
Buff away dead skin
This is vital for keeping skin refreshed, soft and breakout-free. It gives your pores a chance to breathe by removing dead skin cells and prevents excess oil building up. Face masks can be an easy way to add this step to your routine, and by choosing one with all natural ingredients you’re making sure you are being kind to your skin. We love Evolve Beauty’s Radiant Glow Organic face mask; the raw cacao powder and clay revitalises your skin while the coconut granules exfoliate.

Keep your complexion hydrated
Moisturising is a sure-fire way to protect against signs of ageing. When the skin dries out it loses suppleness and elasticity, leaving you looking tired and encouraging fine lines and wrinkles. A moisturising face mask will give your skin a little pick-me-up by helping to lock in water. We recommend Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask; in just 15 minutes it plumps skin and helps to improve complexion.

Save time with your routine
While you usually have a separate cream for each step of your routine; cleanser, moisturiser, exfoliator, a face mask can combine all these things into one, perfect for those in a rush. Application times will vary, but some masks are designed to fit easily into a busy schedule. Try the Senspa One Minute Radiance Mask for a real quick-fix. This triple-action mask cleanses, exfoliates and revitalises in just one minute. Even in this short space of time it helps to protect from free radicals, buffs away dead skin cells and gives your skin a healthy glow, all without losing the luxury feel we love!
