There is no denying it, face masks are now an essential part of your everyday attire. Although how is this new wardrobe addition affecting your skin? Is it suddenly feeling irritated, sensitive or blemish-prone?
We have put together key products to help you combat these skin concerns throughout the day, and ensure your skin feels its very best.
Morning
Start each day the right way with Clarifying Foam, this deeply purifying, antibacterial cleanser unclogs pores without causing dryness or irritation. Leaving skin feeling smooth and renewed, ready for the day with its new mask BFF.
Note: While it can be tempting to cleanse immediately before and after wearing a face mask, this over-cleansing can be harsh on your skin. This is why we recommend to cleanse once in the morning and twice in the evening.
If your skin is feeling dull, irritated or blemish-prone from the mask covering, why not try Clarity Peptides? This skin perfecting peptide complex helps to enhance your skin’s natural luminosity, while calming redness and blemishes.
Don’t forget about sunscreen, UV rays can still pass through the mask. Ensure to apply Daily Radiance Vitamin C both to covered and uncovered areas under the mask. The lightweight moisturiser will hydrate and protect the skin without clogging pores. Plus, it also contains vitamin C, 2 of our philosophies’ in 1 step.
Daytime
Wearing heavy foundations while mask-wearing can cause additional havoc on your skin. If you are looking for a make-up free look, our Illuminating Eye Balm works as a great CC cream and is a perfect handbag size for top ups throughout the day. Not to mention it is pumped with hyaluronic which instantly hydrates the eye area.
Tackle any unwanted blemishes in an instant with our Blemish SOS. This rapid action treatment gel works quickly to diminish blemishes while remaining completely invisible on the skin when you are out and about.
As always, do not forget to reapply your sunscreen like our White Balance Everyday Protect throughout the day.
Evening
The area under the mask is hot and humid, creating an environment where various blemish-causing germs can grow. It’s important to double cleanse in the evening to ensure you are cleansing away the day's impurities. Start with Lipid Balance Cleaning Oil to remove traces of dirt, grime, pollution, make-up and, of course, SPF. Then follow with Clarifying Foam, to renew and detoxify the complexion. If you are experiencing breakouts, try Blemish Control Pads. Each pad is packed full of blemish-fighting ingredients that dive deep within the skin to dissolve oil and dirt. Clear skin is just a swipe away.
Now is also a good time to hop on the retinal bandwagon, if you haven't already. Crystal Retinal is not just a high performance anti ageing-serum, it also speeds up cell turnover, which prevents dead skin cells from clogging your pores and reduces blemish-causing bacteria.

Give your skin and deep cleansing experience each week with our Activated Charcoal Refining Mask. The bamboo charcoal acts like a sponge to soak up impurities, while ultra-hydrating hyaluronic acid pumps the skin with moisture. Leaving a smooth, radiant, detoxified complexion ready for the week ahead.
