Origins by All Greens Foaming Deep Cleansing Mask retails at SGD69 and is available at all Origins boutiques and counters, as well as Sephora. 15. First Aid Beauty Ginger & Turmeric Vitamin C Jelly Mask Who doesn't want to be fresh like a lemon in summer? Nuxe outdid themselves again, as their organic Bio Beaute line got freshly squeezed products. Nuxe Toning & Nourishing Satin-touch Oil (17,50€ for 100ml, pharmacies worldwide) applies like a dream, as it's satiny dry on the touch and smells like a lemon-vanilla sorbet. Yum! Definitely my kind of scent, sweet but slightly sour like lemons. It should hydrate, nourish and tone your body with verbena extract from Corsica. Bio sesame oil gives satin touch and it's also good for your body and soul in Ayurveda (yes, I'm slightly broading my horizons). This dry oil doesn't leave greasy film and it's filled with vitamin E. It already won a prize from Vorte Beauty magazine, which is always a good sign. Nuxe 24hr Refreshing Deodorant (8,50€ for 50ml, pharmacies worldwide) has the same lemony-vanilla scent with a touch of herbs (I see sage, rosemary and verbena high on ingredient's list). It's in a roll-on form, which is not my favourite as I have to wait with my clothing. I could easily detect the scent of the deodorant all day, which is another good sign in natural deodorant department. It's not the best at protecting but it does minimise odor through the day. Which is understandable, as it's paraben, aluminium salt and alcohol free. Only thumbs up for now. Besides being effective, you’ll love that this mask is fun to use! This deep-cleansing mask is able to draw out the impurities from skin and pores and has a self-foaming effect powered by green superfoods to make sure skin remains hydrated. Free from parabens and phthalates, this mask is suitable for normal, oily, and combination skin types. The best face masks don’t always have to be expensive. This one from Sephora Collection isn’t just affordable, but works very well too. In fact, it is the winner in one of the episodes of DV Beauty Lab, a video series where the DV team puts a few similar products to blind tests and find the best among them. You can watch the episode for yourself: Efficacy: I never could believe that a product can show overnight results, but this one is quite an eye opener. I am so so glad to have tried that Sephora sample. The product works three fold:

I also unfortunately did not experience the sort of skin clarity and radiance that I was promised. It should be noted that AHA lotions I regularly use in rotation are Lotion P50, Pixi Glow Tonic and the occasional overnight treat with Alpha-H Liquid Gold. All these give my skin a noticeable lift in texture, appearance and clarity. During the time that I was using the REN Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic, I did not notice as obvious an improvement. Might it be because it is a more gentle formula? I’m not sure. Users of Foreo Glow Addict Mask have nothing but good things to say about it. This microfiber face mask is formulated to illuminate the appearance of skin so you look radiant and healthy. The brand also recommends that you use the mask with the UFO or UFO mini – their newly launched devices to help mask work harder for you – if you want results close to what you get at facials. If your skin feels sensitive, use it just once or twice a week. However, if like me, your skin doesn’t react at all (my skin is quite well exposed to acids, so it handles it quite well) then you may use it more often – every alternate night or so. A real standout of the brand is the REN Glycolatic Radiance Renewal Mask, which contains glycolic acid to help leave your skin looking more radiant and smoother too.If you have sensitive skin, REN Wake Wonderful isn’t recommended, and that’s mainly because it uses an enzyme complex (which I think is doing most of the work, here.. it’s like a night peel) which can be a little harsh on delicate skin. Glycogen and Magnesium boost cell activity, and Sodium Lactate boosts the skin’s PH for a hydrating effect (yes, my skin was hydrated). Did you know that your skin is most receptive to skincare treatments at night? This gel-cream taps into that, while also infusing skin with a nourishing blend of ingredients:

Designed for long, weary days – like when you just got off a long-haul flight or when you have an evening soiree to attend, this mask is the SOS treatment that gives your skin what it needs. The high-tech treatment doesn’t just hydrate skin but also cools and regulates body temperatures, and is targeted at helping skin cope with long flights and long nights. The masks are also made with tissue-fine fibers to adhere snugly on your skin. Dedicated to using only plant-based and organic products, Herbivore Botanicals’ masks are no different. We love this one because it is made of pineapple and papaya enzymes, which has a natural exfoliation effect on skin. The mask is also formulated with oils that are cold-pressed or steam-distilled, to make sure that all of their goodness are retained and presented in the most premium quality possible.Foreo may be best known for their cleansing devices, but the brand has recently ventured into the skincare arena – and guess what – it looks like they are faring well too!

If you have sensitive skin, I highly recommend a patch-test first. You may experience tingling or redness. If you do, and it feels uncomfortable, then you may want to avoid this. However, if the tingling isn’t uncomfortable, and your skin does not react or turn red, it is normal.
