MASKING WITH 10 MINUTES, 20 MINUTES OR AN EVENING IN MIND
By Nateisha Scott
Your masking routine can often be based on the time you have to spare and whilst some evenings can only give you 10 minutes, other nights might offer you a full evening. Understanding that time can be a factor but ensuring the priority of your masking routine, we have pulled out the stops to deliver an express 10 minute or full evening facial depending on what takes your fancy.
10 MINUTES
Otherwise coined as your express facial, if you are limited for time then just implementing the day to day basics is an essential for your 10-minute masking session. Always starting with cleansed skin, apply a gentle but effective cleanser such as the NAC Y2 Restorative Cleansing Balm to the skin, it will help to lift and melt impurities away and provide a clean base for your next steps. Follow your cleanse up with a soothing essence, the Antioxidant Energising Essence is fast acting when prepping and priming the skin. Blended with Aloe Vera, Copper Chlorophyll and Giant Kelp, the soothing botanical blend immediately hydrates and revitalises the complexion, leaving refreshing and reinvigorated results. Follow this up with the Meso Infusion Leave On Overnight Mask, a night treatment that absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky feeling on your skin. Delivering an intense hydration, locking in moisture and leaving a protective matrix on the skin’s surface, you will awaken with skin so smooth, supple and hydrated and you will thank yourselves for the 10-minute express facial from the night before.
20 MINUTES
With a bit more time on your hands, ensure you are going in with a thorough double cleanse, starting with the NAC Y2 Restorative Cleansing Balm as your first cleanse. For your second cleanse implement a dual product that cleanses and exfoliates, the Clinical Exfoliator is an enzymatic exfoliator that utilises the blend of AHAs, Amino Acids and a calming botanical complex. Gentle enough on the skin, the exfoliator sloughs away dead skin cells whilst clearing imperfections. From your tonic, apply a serum, to rehydrate and treat the skin before going in with your face and eye mask of choice. The Master Masking Edit is a collection of restorative masks that will nourish, brighten and soothe your skin. From the Celestial Black Diamond Lifting and Firming Mask to the Y Theorem Bio Cellulose Facial Mask, each mask will revitalise and rejuvenate your complexion with a dedicated 20-minute treatment.
A WHOLE EVENING
You have carved time out of your usual timetable and have a whole evening of relaxation and meditation ahead of you. Start your evening by lighting some candles and diming the lights to set the perfect atmosphere. Whilst drawing a relaxing bath with your favourite bath salts and oils, start to slowly work through your evening routine. Double Cleanse, tone, exfoliate and mask. As your face mask works it magic, hop into the bath and relax. 30 minutes later, towel down and apply your favourite oils and remember to moisturise your face. Using this down time to its full capacity, treat yourself to a facial massage with either a jade roller or Gua Sha. Implementing your facial massage routine, stimulate drainage and reduce toxins all at once before ending the evening with some meditation, reading or favourite TV series.
