In the past year and a half, I have become a "mask" maniac: I do them everywhere - at home, in the office, on the plane, on vacation. I believe that this is a genius invention of mankind, ideal for such beauty-lazy people as me (I sin by "walking" multi-step skin care). And then comes the moment “Oh my God! Tomorrow is an important event, I need to look great,”and I start running around looking for“sos help”. Fortunately, for five years of work in beauty, I know "where and for what" to run - I am sharing a list of proven products!
Cream masks
Mask Gravitymud, GlamGlow
When it comes to the most photogenic masks, the famous GlamGlow comes to mind. I really love purple - it perfectly tightens the skin, tones and refreshes the face in general. As it dries, Gravitymud turns from mother-of-pearl to bright silver (there is also a blue version dedicated to Sonic the Hedgehog). It's so beautiful that you never want to shoot it, but it's better not to exceed the recommended 20-30 minutes. For me, this is an “instant beauty mask”: it cleanses the skin, makes the complexion smoother and really tightens the facial contours a little. I apply it with a spatula, remove it with my hands - the mask turns into a film on the skin. It contains a complex with a strengthening matrix, seaweed plasma and polymers, Icelandic brown algae extract, hyaluronic acid and glacial clay rich in minerals.
Price for 15 ml: 2 030 rubles.
Sparkling face mask Gold Envy, Oribe
I was incredibly happy when Oribe brand cosmetics and cosmetics for skin care finally appeared in Russia. Having appreciated the hair products, I was sure that I would definitely find something suitable for my face. And I was not mistaken! My choice is the sparkling Golden Envy mask. You open a magic jar, and inside you see a product that shimmers with a golden color, like a precious ingot. I apply this beauty to a clean and dry face with a brush. Apply Gold Envy in a thin layer, but if there is time, I apply it thicker. After 10-15 minutes I wash my face and remove the residue with a towel. The product has a rich caring composition: here and a restoring complex of oils of edelweiss flowers, evening primrose, sweet almond, and peptides, and particles of colloidal gold, and finger lime extract, and sodium hyaluronate. The very first thing I noticed was- this is an even skin tone: the product quickly evens it out, moisturizes and gives radiance. My face seemed to glow from the inside after the first time. I do this mask once a week, and if the hard days with constant lack of sleep are behind, then all two. Helps to quickly remove dullness and dullness from the face and puffiness. I have not yet encountered deep wrinkles (and I hope that it will be possible to postpone our meeting a little longer), but I know that the remedy is also suitable for combating them.that it will turn out to postpone our meeting for a little longer), but I know that the remedy is also suitable for dealing with them.that it will turn out to postpone our meeting for a little longer), but I know that the remedy is also suitable for dealing with them.
Price: 8 010 rub.
Ultra-restoring mask Ultra Replenishing Mask, Ultraceuticals
This new product of the year before last has become the best friend of my dry skin - it revives it after flights, cold winters and fatigue. Let's analyze the composition. Active ingredients: hyaluronic acid, shea butter, panthenol, vitamin E, cucumber extract - soothe the skin and restore the lipid barrier. With such a composition, the aroma of the mask is very pleasant - a mixture of cucumber and lemon. I apply the product twice a week in a thick layer on the face and neck (use no more than two peas). Leave it on for 10 minutes and wash it off with warm water. There may be a slight burning sensation, but it does not cause discomfort to me. After the mask, the skin is very soft and smooth - the tone fits perfectly!
Price: 5 500 rub.
Night mask My Sleeping Pack, Payot
I really love night masks (a selection of the best night care products for your face can be found here). I, a lazy person, like not only the effect of freshness in the morning, but also the fact that they do not need to be washed off. In winter, when it gets dark early, fatigue after a working day is felt stronger, you always come home with one desire - to go to bed as soon as possible.
I apply My Sleeping Pack to cleansed skin and go to the side: while you sleep, the mask works. The texture is a gel, but as soon as you apply it to the skin, you notice that in fact it is fatter and denser than it seems. Something in between a fluid and a nourishing cream. But at the same time it is absorbed without a greasy film and is not imprinted on the pillow. It has a very pleasant fruity (but unobtrusive!) Aroma.
After a couple of applications, you notice that the skin is smoothed, the face contour is tightened, the puffiness subsides, and the bags under the eyes become less pronounced. Rich in active ingredients.
It contains hyaluronic acid (to moisturize), goji berry extracts (remove toxins) and silk acacia (revitalize skin cells). I use it 2-3 times a week and alternate with My Payot Nuit cream: it is thicker in texture, intended for thorough nourishment and hydration, and in the composition you will find acai berries, goji berries, bifidobacteria and hazelnut extract.
Price: 1 800 rub.
Modeling mask Firming Remodelling Mask, Eisenberg
If your face is tired and “crumpled” in the morning, but you want to look cheerful, productive and generally to the maximum, the Eisenberg Firming Remodelling Mask saves me. It tightens the skin very quickly, even the oval of the face looks clearer, slight puffiness and puffiness of the face is removed, the features become more prominent. The mask is suitable for the face and the area around the eyes, and of course for the neck. Acts quickly, 10-15 minutes of work, and you can remove the remains with a cotton pad or rinse with water. One of my favorite pre-event masks!
Price: 2 424 rub.
Night mask Hydra Beauty Masque De Nuit Au Camelia, Chanel
I love the tools that work when I am resting. This mask was able to replace not only the night cream for me, but also some salon procedures - after using it, I see how the effects of stress and fatigue disappear from the skin, right before my eyes. It's all about the camellia extract (by the way, its concentration in this mask is the highest in the entire line of products!), Which, together with zinc, copper and magnesium, helps the skin to "adjust" oxygen saturation mechanisms. Therefore, the dull complexion disappears and the skin becomes fresh and healthy. The mask has a very light creamy texture with a pleasant scent. I apply the product all over my face in a thin layer, not forgetting about the neck. I go to bed and in the morning I enjoy my reflection in the mirror - the skin becomes radiant and elastic!
Price: about 6,000 rubles.
Cloth and alginate masks
Two-component complex of masks Jet Super Hydrating Mask Kit, double dare
I tried a two-component complex of masks with a softening effect Jet Super Hydrating Mask Kit of the Korean brand double dare, or, more simply, a real cure for bruises under the eyes, “gray” complexion and edema. In 99% of cases, I choose the earliest flights, so I can't sleep. And on trips, you want to look better than at home so that you can immediately start taking photos and selfies upon arrival.
So, my find consists of two parts - a cleansing cloth and a softening mask. A wipe with aloe, green tea and AHA acids exfoliates and refreshes the skin - it should be thoroughly rubbed over the face. Then put on the mask and leave it on for 15-30 minutes. There is no need to rinse off the remnants of the product after application - just spread it with massaging movements on the skin. The mask is infused with a complex of squalane, lecithin, NP ceramide and powerful antioxidants (cactus and rosehip extracts). This super-set replaced my favorite patches (bruises and bags under the eyes disappeared in half an hour), the skin became radiant and moisturized, the complexion became healthy (the effect of #You had already disappeared after this week disappeared instantly). I have a dry type, so this complex came in handy and did not leave my skin dehydrated in flight. Take note - spring has comewhich means that the summer and the period of vacations and unforgettable travels are also just around the corner.
Price: 790 rub.
Sheet mask Bamboo Shot, Erborian
I tested it on board an aircraft during a ten-hour flight from Moscow to New York. Yes, yes, I am one of those crazy people who make masks during long flights (and also scares / laughs the stewardesses passing by and the people sitting next to them, but oh well!).
I have dry skin, and such flights are real stress for her. I liked the Bamboo Shot Mask because:
- Does not slip during use, but adheres tightly to the skin;
- Works in 15 minutes (and no need to wait for any 30-40);
- It moisturizes well (in the composition, by the way, bamboo extract) and refreshes (I slept for three hours, I could not sleep during the flight: hello, sos-remedy, save me so that I do not frighten passers-by with my dark panda circles under my eyes);
- Prepares the skin for make-up (the foundation that I applied immediately after the mask did not roll, but lay in an even layer).
The smell is grassy, but unobtrusive. We must take!
Price: 650 rub.
Mask Rubber Mask Clear Lover, Dr. Jart +
I love this Dr. Jart + with a picture of a child's face on the package (Rubber Mask series). Looking ahead, I will say that after this remedy the skin becomes soft and smooth, like a baby's (so the parallel is very useful).
In fact, these are fashionable alginate masks with active ingredients. In the package you will find two components: an ampoule in the form of a creamy white serum (you need to apply it directly to your face with your fingertips) and a rubber mask (divided into two parts - the upper one for the forehead, eyes and nose and the lower one for the lips and chin). The mask itself is impregnated with serum. It should be kept on the skin for 30-40 minutes. It is best to spend this time lying down so that the mask does not come off and fit more tightly to the face. But when I first used it, like a monkey, I jumped around the apartment and cleaned, and this did not prevent the mask from doing its job at "5+". By the way, it has a pleasant mint aroma and it “chills”.
The serum in the mask contains a complex of natural ingredients - extracts of green tea leaves, grape seeds and persimmons (for a thorough cleansing of the pores, which the product has done well). The alginate coating consists of seaweed extracts - for intense hydration (essential for dryness!). The result: smooth, soft skin, disappeared puffiness after a hard day's work with an early rise, missing peeling from the back of the nose and a clean face. Delight! And to make the mask work better, after removing the alginate coating, massage the skin: the rest of the product will benefit it.
Price: 1 670 rub.
Mask Face Gold Foilayer Mask, The Oozoo
Tool of the Korean brand Ozzoo. This is not an ordinary sheet mask, as it consists of three layers, including foil (which provides maximum fit, does not allow moisture to evaporate and creates a kind of greenhouse effect). This enhances the effect of the very agent with which the mask is impregnated. Personally, I like to use it when I want everything at once (including photos on Instagram!). It contains adenosine (works as an anti-aging ingredient), saccharomycetes (for radiance), fullerene (an antioxidant), aquaporin (helps the skin retain moisture). I often do this mask in the morning - when I need to defeat puffiness and make my face shine. Works in 15-20 minutes.
Price: 700 rub.
