Sitting in the office most hours of the day under the blasting AC, perhaps you’re grateful you don’t have to be out in the sweltering heat. But your skin? Not so much – it’s getting more dehydrated with each hour you spend in the cold, and when you go outside with your mask on these days, it doesn’t take long before your skin starts throwing a silent tantrum as it fights against its own sweat, your makeup, and the air humidity all clogging your pores up. Then on the weekend, you might try to do some rescue work by going for a penetrative facial treatment, or for the less discerning ones, you’ll probably just carry on with life and go out for some fun summer activities to add a shade or two to your skin. If any of this sounds like you, let me make a guess – your skin is probably more on the dry and irritated side…
But if you wouldn’t go days without water or keep wearing a pair of shoes that’s giving you blisters, why would you do the same to your skin? Keeping skin plump and bright is key to maintaining youthful and healthy skin, and it’s really not difficult at all! All it takes is to complement your existing skincare regimen with the Blush-Off Defense Mask, which helps fend off hyperpigmentation and skin dehydration with its calming properties. With its gel-like texture, the mask gives a cooling sensation that is thirst-quenching for your skin while keeping it happy by strengthening its cell barriers. Give yourself and your skin a well-deserved 15-minute break – that’s all you need to relax and recharge for the next power move! You can even make your dinner as you leave the mask on to work its magic, so no time is lost. Depending on your schedule, you can use this mask 1-3 times weekly, so that when you get back to the office you can enjoy the AC completely guilt-free and go out in the sun worry-free. Take it with you on your business trips too – this mask would definitely be a godsend to jetlagged skin. And yes, although facial treatments may be able to give us a leg-up, the post-treatment redness can sometimes be hard to shake off, and this is where the mask comes in handy to tackle that, as well as keeping skin hydrated so your facial’s full effects can be felt and sustained longer. Who wouldn’t want to go that easy extra mile?
