Which Face Mask is Right For Me?

FINE LINES AND WRINKLES

Try using a mask containing collagen.

Collagen maintains skin elasticity and strength by stimulating the synthesis of new collagen and as a result, minimises the appearance of deep wrinkles and fine lines.

Collagen encourages the renewal of cells and minimises facial muscle contraction, the cause of wrinkles.

DRY SKIN

Use a mask containing hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic Acid molecules have the unique ability to carry 1,000 times their weight in water, more than any other biological substance. Hyaluronic Acid is also a “smart nutrient” as it can adjust its moisture absorption rate based on the humidity – relative to the season and the climate. This improves your skin’s moisture content whilst at the same time strengthening your skin’s barrier, helping your skin to look and feel softer, smoother, and plumper.

BLEMISHES

Tea tree oil is an excellent ingredient in the treatment of oily and acne-prone skin. Tea tree also has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and is an antioxidant.

PIGMENTATION

Try using a mask containing Vitamin C. Is an antioxidant that slows the rate of free-radical damage from environmental factors such as the sun, pollution and oxygen. When applied topically Vitamin C can help reduce the appearance of dark spots and sun damage. Helps boost the skin’s collagen production and reduces inflammation.

Ingredients to look out for in your face mask

ALPHA-ARBUTIN

Derived from plants, this skin-lightening ingredient inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase to counteract pigmentation and soften scars, dark spots and pigmentation caused by acne and sun damage.

HYALURONIC ACID

Hyaluronic acid molecules absorb more water than any other biological substance meaning the moisture content of the skin increases while the skin barrier strengthens, creating softer, smoother and firmer-looking skin.

NIACINAMIDE

This active ingredient protects the skin from the harmful effects of sun exposure. It reduces skin spots and provides an even skin tone while increasing the skin's natural immunity and promoting

collagen production.

RETINOL

With exceptional anti-ageing effects, retinol production opens pores, and promotes collagen production to reduce fine lines, and accelerates cell turnover to even out discolouration and smooth skin.

SQUALANE

Squalane moisturises the skin and keeps its natural protective barrier intact. It creates a glow and reduces fine lines and wrinkles whilst protecting from free radical damage with its antioxidant properties.

VITAMIN C

Vitamin C is an antioxidant which reduces the incidence of free radical skin damage caused by environmental factors such as sun, pollution and oxygen. It promotes collagen production in the skin and reduces inflammation.
