Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Masque


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.
