Since my late teens, I have always had troublesome skin, But the main reason it was so angst-y was ALWAYS stress! So whenever I’m extra busy and frazzled and don’t have a lot of spare time to have a complicated skincare regime, I always look to a facemask for some help.
Enter right on que the
new Charcoal Rescue Masque from Dermalogica. I mean, even the name
gives me hope. Haha! This is a masque which delivers an immediate ‘pick me up’
and suits all skin types and conditions.
According to Dermalogica it tackles skin aging,
dullness, breakouts and sensitivity – all things that become very obvious in my
skin as soon as I don’t get enough sleep/water or just during the days that I
am working around the clock.
I have never tried any
products from Dermalogica before the
Charcoal Rescue Masque, but it is a
brand which has built up such a fantastic reputation over the past few years,
so although I’m often a bit wary to try new skincare brands (due to sensitive
skin), I knew my skin was in very safe
hands.
Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Masque gently
but thoroughly detoxifies skin by using:
·
Binchotan Charcoal
powerfully absorbs impurities
·
Sulphur promotes
cell turnover for dramatically brighter skin.
·
Volcanic Ash, Sea
Silt, Bamboo Extract and alpha hydroxy acids further accelerate skin brightening with dual-action
exfoliation.
·
Niasinamide helps
ease and heal congestion and calm the skin
·
Chilean White Mint
refines pores.
As soon as I put this on
my skin, I just knew it was going to make a difference. It’s dark green in
colour () and has these tiny little white flecks in it. After just 2 seconds on
your skin, it begins to harden – which made me feel like it was REALLY working! I left it on for about 8 minutes and then lightly massaged it off with
wet hands to boost its exfoliation properties. After taking it all off, I just slapped
on a bit of moisturizer and I already felt a million times better. My skin was
healthy, fresh and kinda glowing – and I loved it. This would be great if you
were heading out for a night or an event and you wanted that extra oomph!
My skin is always in need of a little detox &
refresh especially during the Summer months, So I’m looking forward to using
this masque more regularly to get my skin in tip-top shape.
