Sun exposure, air-conditioning and late nights can leave fading tanned skin dry and sallow at the end of the summer season. If your face is looking in dire need of a moisture boost, then it will be crying out for a good hydrating mask! This should become a beauty cabinet must-have going into autumn to intensely moisturise and rejuvenate the skin.
Be sure to invest in a high-quality product like Elizabeth Arden’s Visible Difference Hydration Boost Night Mask (R280), a luxurious nighttime treat for the skin. Cleanse before bedtime and apply a few good squeezes of the thick, white cream in broad strokes across the forehead, down the T-zone area, outwards over the cheeks and up to the jawline, avoiding the delicate skin around the eyes.
Enriched with plant botanicals, the active ingredients in the formula produce a tingly, cooling sensation for a few minutes after application before settling down. Despite the clay-like texture, you’re fortunately left without that my-face-might-crack unease while waiting for the recommended 5-10 minutes to be up. Wash off thoroughly with warm water and pat dry to finish. Skin is left feeling clean (but not tight), hydrated and impossibly smooth to touch.
