A MECCA $ 69 face mask worth every penny

Masking has recently grown (mostly thanks to celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Shanina Shaik and Victoria Beckham, plastering their mask-feeding Insta). selfies dressed.

And even though we can not all get naked with refreshing gold gel patches before our eyes and look like a goddess – damn Selma Blair – we can always spoil our skin and enjoy those relaxing moments like the best. Here are my favorite flash facials on the market right now.

GLOW RECIPE WATERMELON GLOW SLEEPING MASK

Available in Mecca

Price: $ 69.00

This Korean beauty brand has just arrived in Australia and people are excited, especially me. At the launch of Glow in 2014, they had only two products, including the Watermelon Glow Sleep Mask. Made with 60% fresh watermelon purée carefully preserved for 30 days before being mixed with one of my favorite active ingredients – hyaluronic acid to enhance moisture – as well as alpha-hydroxy acids, glycerin and algae.

The result is an intensely refreshing, moisturizing and soothing product, absolutely unique. Who knew that a supermarket grocery store could be so beneficial? One of his best qualities is his scent, which smells so good that you want to eat it.

Although some critics have downplayed the hype surrounding this cult product – which, at its peak, has caused a staggering waiting list of 8,000 people for a single pot – I can not say enough about it. It's super convenient, a mask that you apply and can sleep without damaging your sheets, gives me an even complexion and a little goes a long way. The packaging is super stylish too.

Although this is an intermediate price range, it is definitely worth it, because all these people get along:

ACEOLOGY GOLD MODELING MASK ANTI-AGING

Available at aceology.co

Price: $ 79

This brand new Australian beauty business, bad, was only launched in April and people are already obsessed. Just last week, her gel infusion sheet masks were exhausted when MAFS star Martha Kalifatidis shared a selfie with her 284,000 followers.

Although I could not put my gloves on these, I use this DIY style mask. You literally get two sachets, a gel and a collagen powder, which you have to mix in a bowl before applying them. This is a bit gloopy, but unlike some face masks that are placed on your face, it does not itch for the 30 minutes you need to leave it.

Then my skin is bright, fresh and firmer, so I'm a fan. Does this rewind the clock? I'm not sure, but I still send hope.

ALYA SKIN PINK PERFECT MASK WITH AUSTRALIAN CLAY

Available on Priceline and Amazon.com.au

Price: $ 49

When something is number one in your field, you have to be careful – and Alya is the best-selling and best selling mask in the world in pink clay. If you did not like it, how is the sound of a skin brighter, softer and less red? Because it's the effect she has on my canvas after one use.

Its formula is soft to apply, almost bouncy to the touch and gives off a pleasant smell of rose. If you suffer from skin irritations and even eczema, the natural ingredients of the formula also make it pleasant for sensitive skin.

LUSH BRUSH STROKES FRESH FACE MASK

Available at Lush stores and on lush.com.au

Price: $ 17.95

One of the things I love about Lush is their philosophy of fresh ingredients, with all their products sold with a date of manufacture and use before. Whether or not I use something before it expires is a whole different subject – I do not think so, and IMHO, they still work very well.

In fact, I picked up this musk-scented mask in Tokyo a few months ago, and it has just been introduced to Australian stores. I am so excited.

I like its ease of application. After washing, my complexion is much brighter and my skin is more fleshy. This is really not a reasonable price compared to similar products on the market and a great option for beauty lovers concerned about their substance.

ORDINARY SALICYLIC ACID 2% MASK

Available on Priceline and theordinary.com

Price: $ 21.90

The affordable but powerful beauty brand The Ordinary has expressed enthusiasm for its new clay and charcoal mask, which contains 2% salicylic acid – an ingredient used to help the skin to peel and to reveal the fresh, rejuvenated layer underneath. with a strict warning: "Do not leave more than 10 minutes."

It was super easy to apply and I did exactly what had been promised, my face feeling free of any dead and flaky skin and looking much brighter, even brighter even after. There is a but with this one, and that is the process of getting it.

The mixture of gray coal and clay can exert its cleaning magic on my pores (which seemed tighter later and without blackheads), but it is a bloody mess to remove. It is worth it, but certainly a lot of rinsing to remove it, with the gray water splashing all the floor of my bathroom.

YOUTH FOR PEOPLE HYDRATE + GLOW DREAM MASK

Available at Sephora

Price: $ 72

I'm obsessed with this brand and this product for a while and I'm so glad I finally have the opportunity to send you spam about it.

It smells bad, works when you sleep and is filled with natural candies that work wonders for your skin. Vitamin C gives my skin, which is often sleep-free, a brighter shade, and hyaluronic acid provides tremendous moisture. I also love the thick texture of the cream which, despite my initial fears, easily permeates and feels super silky to the touch.

The superfood formula, topped with maqui, wolfberry, acai and prickly pear berries, gives the product a pleasant scent. It's really a perfect night companion.
