Sunday night skincare essentials

“I like to slather on Sisley’s Radiant Glow Express Mask, $140, before bed on a Sunday night, to help me put my best face forward for the week ahead.”

love trying new masks and will give anything a go. I’ll see what my skin is doing that day and use something to treat that issue, and always follow up with a hydrating mask. A few I’m currently using and loving: May Lindstrom The Problem Solver, $148 (so good when my skin is inflamed and breaking out), Mesoestetic Energy C Peel Off Mask, $70, Farmacy Honey Potion Mask, Dr Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Modelling Mask, $67, Sisley Black Rose Cream Mask, $180… I could go on.”“I

The face mask I go back to again and again (and try to use semi-regularly) is the Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Masque, $68. With kaolin clay, charcoal and lactic acid, it clears pores and encourages cell turnover, while the addition of niacinamide helps soothe my sometimes-sensitive skin. I also love the Sk-II Facial Treatment Masks, $28 each, when my skin needs a hydration hit – after flying, one of the first things I do is apply the charcoal mask to detoxify, followed by the SK-II to boost my skin’s moisture levels after a drying long-haul flight.

“When in need of a lift, the Ole Hendrickson Truth Sugar Glow Polishing Mask, $52, is all things, all at once. Brightening, smoothing, hydrating and exfoliating all in 10 mins. Count me in.”

Then I finish with an SK-II sheet mask if I’m feeling super fancy.””I’m a bit mask obsessed at the moment and am fully committed to doing one every Sunday night. It was a habit I got into as part of my ‘bridal beauty regime’ before my wedding last year and I’d forgotten how relaxing/indulgent/all-round enjoyable it is. I have a couple on rotation at the moment: Glossier’s Mega Greens Galaxy Pack, $US22, that a friend brought back from the States (they don’t ship to Oz yet but if you’re a keen bean like me you can order through ShopMate) and the Caolion Blackhead Steam Pore Pack, $35 (which looks wild on but really seems to work).

The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Clay Mask, $25 – such good value and it actually works!”
