My skin can easily become dehydrated, dry, taut : essentially dull and lacklustre. When this happens and I feel that my skin needs some serious *treatment* I add a treatment moisture mask twice a week to really get my skin back into a healthier, hydrated state, so that the texture becomes softer and smoother. A great moisture mask puts the radiance back into a skin that has lost it's mojo and these are my top picks to help you get your skin a little fresh face action :)
Treatment Mask:
Filorga Meso Mask 50ml £38.00 |
This program, directly inspired by mesotherapy treatments practiced in the doctor's office brightens the skin for a luminous and radiant complexion, while treating wrinkles and erasing all signs of tiredness.

Why I love it: It is a cooling and comforting texture that makes your skin feel soothed, plumped and hydrated. I actually find that my skin looks *rested*.and very healthy with a definite *glow* after using and it helps to take the *heat* out of irritated skin..
