Un-masking our favourite face masks

Un-masking our favourite face masks

Face masks. The delicious, treat-time skin care ones. Not the fabric or surgical types that we’re all too familiar with these days.

But let’s face it, 2 years of wearing them have had some impacts on our skin and using a skin care face mask is great of helping to alleviate some of that.

But what one should you use for what? Here is our cheat guide to our Skin Juice face masks and when we like to use them.

Plum Power Whipped Clay Mask

Traditionally clay masks are used to help clear congestion, purify pores and smooth the skin – and this clay mask is very good at that. But what makes this clay mask great is that at the same time it helps nourish, soothe and soften the skin.

Unlike some other clay masks, this mask doesn’t dry or irritate the skin but still works hard to draw the dirt and impurities out of the skin, and simultaneously delivers a good hit of nourishment, leaving you with bouncy, brilliant and bright skin.

Use it once or twice a week. Apply with fingertips and relax for about 10 minutes while it works its magic.

Suitable for: All skin types

Feels like: Velvety and smooth, like whipped cream

Smells like: A tantalising plum and berry dessert explosion.

Facial In A Jar

Besides being relaxing and making you feel great, a facial has two functions for the skin – to exfoliate and deliver nutrients and nourishment. And that is exactly what our range of Facial In A Jars are designed to do.

These exfoliating gel masks use fruit acids (AHA’s and BHA’s) as well as enzymes to break down and remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface. At the same time deliver nutrients to the deeper layers of the skin to help treat skin concerns such as signs of ageing, congestion, dullness and dehydration.

There are two masks in the range to target different skin types and concerns. And if you are short on time, these masks are perfect to help you get a quick glow. Massage the gel onto dry skin and leave it for 2-5 minutes and rinse to remove. For best results we recommend using 2-3 times weekly, or every second day.

Suitable for: Brightening Berry – Sensitive skin & pregnancy; Plumping Pumpkin – Most skin types.

Feels like: Both of the Facial In A Jars are a gel and when applied to the skin you may feel a fruit tingle sensation.

Smells like: Berry – Sweet and zingy like crushed raspberries; Pumpkin – Fresh cut pumpkin with a sprinkle of spice.

Vanilla + Honey

This mask not only smells delicious and comforting – like that feeling you get from home baked goods – it also makes your skin feel the same way, leaving it satisfied, soothed and happy.

This creamy moisture mask is packed full of skin smoothing plant butters and botanical ingredients to help nourish dry, dull and rough skin. As it sinks into the skin, it plumps and softens the skin helping to reduce the signs of ageing and helping to restore the skin’s protective barrier function.

Pop this delicious mask on your face whenever your skin feels like it needs an extra hit of hydration. Leave it for 15 minutes, or if your skin is particularly thirsty, leave it on overnight to really quench your skin.

Suitable for: All skin types, but particularly dry and combination skin.

Feels like: A think, velvety cream

Smells like: Creamy with warming vanilla and sweet honey.
