SKINCARE-TO-GO From long-haul flights to morning commutes, skincare on-the-go is the latest trend to get behind. “If you lead a busy lifestyle or don’t find time to pamper at home, applying eye or sheet masks on-the-go is a great way to recharge your skin or prep your base before a big event.” “They can be especially beneficial when you travel on long-haul flights, when your skin tends to feel dehydrated and stripped of moisture. Just apply, sit back and let it do all the work,” she says. THE RETURN OF THE SHEET MASK The resurrection of one-use masking means you can now find a sheet mask solution or eye patch to suit any skin type or skin concern. “It’s best to use a sheet mask at least once or twice a week for at least 15-20 minutes as part of your skincare routine for that quick burst of intense hydration to your skin! “Make sure you apply your sheet mask on cleansed skin before you apply your mask. Gently massage any excess product onto your face and neck,” she recommends. SKINCARE SQUAD “Squalane can be used alongside other skin-barrier replenishing ingredients, such as ceramides and shea butter, for skin in need of a moisture boost.” “Humectant ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin encourage plumper skin and can be used alongside antioxidants like vitamin C to help brighten the appearance of dull-looking skin,” she suggests. Squalane’s hydrating effects are also known to be favourable alongside retinol and exfoliating ingredients, including AHAs, glycolic acid and BHAs, salicylic acid. APRIL / 04 13
