In the same way as air travel and excessive sun exposure can dry out skin, it’s no secret that a sudden drop in temperature and central heating can also lead to dry, dehydrated skin.
I always carry a range of masks in my kit for whenever I need to give skin an extra boost or if I’m working with someone who has just hopped off a plane. Here’s my edit of the best skin saviours out there:
FACE:
Wei Thirst Relief Sheet Mask
Based on Chinese Medicine, this sheet mask is soaked in a herbal concentrate containing hydrating Lotus extract and Hyaluronic Acid to deeply nourish and replenish skin and anti oxidant mushroom extract to balance water in the skin.
Sarah Chapman 3d Moisture Infusion Mask
One of my kit staples: The bio cellulose gel like texture of the mask allows active ingredients to penetrate much deeper than a fabric sheet mask and the solution works super effectively to plump, soothe and hydrate skin.
SK-II Facial Treatment Mask
A cult favourite and works wonders to turn around dry, dehydrated skin. Use to provide an intense moisture injection and to give skin a clearer, more radiant appearance in just 15 minutes.
Glossier Mega Greens Galaxy Mask
A traditional creamy mask in a pot, this formula contains natural ingredients such as Kaolin Clay, Avocado oil and Aloe to balance, detoxify and calm the skin – ideal for oily, blemish prone skin.
Chantecaille Jasmine and Lily Healing Mask
Great for dull, dehydrated skin, using natural botanical essences to hydrate and firm – it’s especially soothing and great for sensitive skin or after exposure to harsh weather conditions.
Decelor Intensive Brightening Mask
This mask uses floral extract and Vitamin C to even skin tone and boost radiance. Ideal for brightening dull skin after summer and perfect for anyone with dark spots and pigmentation concerns.
EYES, LIPS & NECK:
Elemis Pro-Collagen Hydra-Gel Eye Masks
These gel pads come in a handy sachet making them great for travelling with. They work to smooth the look of the skin, de-puffing the eye area as well as tightening and hydrating the skin.
Rodail Neck Mask
Never forget the neck area! These sheet form neck masks work smooth, firm and tighten the skin, hydrating and moisturizing at the same time for a more youthful looking neck.
Murad Eye Lift Firming Mask
Murad’s Eye mask specifically focuses on lifting the eye area, working to tighten and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The gel treatment comes with fabric pads to deeply infuse the skin.
Nügg Lip Mask
Free from synthetic fragrance, colours, petrochemicals and parabens, this lip mask from Nügg is 100% natural and uses coconut oil and shea butter to plump, hydrate and nourish the lips.
