3 ESSENTIAL FACE MASKS THAT’LL SAVE YOUR SKIN (AND YOUR LIFE) DURING WINTER

 

Winter is the absolute enemy of clear, radiant skin. While we’re not out in the sun 24/7, it can still suffer from dullness and dryness without the proper care. After three months of hibernation, and planting yourself in front of a heater every morning and night, who can blame it?

Here are three masks that’ll save your skin this winter, and set you up for clear skin when summer rolls around.

 

  • Origins Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pores – Mecca Maxima ($39)

What few people know is that oily skin = dry skin. When skin is super dry and overexposed to the elements, your natural oils kick into gear and try to save your poor, tired skin. But like an 18-year-old who has just hit up Ivy for the first time, sometimes it goes a little overboard.

 

Unfortunately, an excess of oil creates increased risk of breakouts and acne. So masks for oil-control are key for winter – Origins have got you covered. Packed with natural ingredients, the mask works to decrease the size of your pores, and suck up that excess oil. Amazing!

 

Recommendation: Pack this mask around specific problem areas. There’s no point heaping the product onto the top of your forehead where there aren’t as many clogged pores or obvious issues up there. Focus the product around your nose, your T-section and on your chin for the best effects.

 

 

  • Aloe Soothing Night Cream – The Body Shop ($28)

This mask is for those of you with hyper-sensitive skin – I’m with you and I feel your pain. The main ingredient of the mask, Aloe Vera, works to soothe inflammation and decrease redness. Not only is it all-natural and super effective, but The Body Shop itself is an activist for all kinds of great causes, including fair community trade, and was the first global cosmetic company to actively campaign against animal testing. So you leave with soothed skin and a nice little boost to your ego. What a win!

 

Recommendation: Don’t worry if you don’t see the effects of the mask after using it. Unlike some moisturising masks, it doesn’t leave an oily sheen on your skin, which is actually a blessing! Just trust that the mask is doing all kinds of amazing things for your skin from the inside.

 

 

  • Transformazing – Go-To Skincare ($9)

Welcome to your holy grail product this winter! As a relatively new company in the beauty scene, Go-To has quickly become a powerhouse, and have been pumping out incredible product after product. Transformazing is the sheet mask of your dreams. All natural, and with no nasties, Transformazing works to combat dryness, aging, and fine lines – the enemies of perfect skin. Just don’t forget to exfoliate your skin before using the mask. It’ll leave your skin literally glowing, and makeup application will become an absolute breeze.

 

Recommendation: Put a spare mask in the fridge, and keep it there for when you have a big night out. When you wake up the next morning with a pounding headache and last night’s mascara all over your face, chuck a cool mask on while you scoff down a bacon and egg roll. Your skin will thank you for the refresher, and it’s a good way to disguise the effects of the night before. The only thing you’ll be left with is a knock to your ego, but until someone invents a mask to reverse our drunken mistakes, I can’t help you out with that.
