Hello lovelies! Some of you may have seen from my Instagram stories that I've been remodeling our Napa home which is why I haven't been posting as often as I'd like. Well, everything this past month has been super crazy trying to get it all finished. This is the last week of work inside the house and next week we are painting the exterior. Needless to say with all the stress, my skin has been in dire straights!
I have been a big mask lover this past year and when Kiehl's asked me to try there two new masks, I jumped at the chance because I love their skincare so much and my face needed some major TLC.
Kiehl's Instant Renewal Concentrate Mask ($32 at Kiehl's) is their first sheet mask set. There are 4 individually packaged masks in each box. I love that the mask comes in 2 parts so it fits your face better. The smooth jelly-like mask is so cooling to the skin and is made up of cold-pressed Amazonian Oils. It really helps to hydrate and soften your skin. I leave it on for 10-15 minutes. One tip I do is with the excess liquid inside the package, I smooth it over my neck area and the tops of my hands so I get an extra treatment. After the mask time is up, I massage the rest of the mask formula into my skin so it's all well absorbed. Then I like to just put on some face oil over it to lock all the goodness in and go to bed.
The Amazonian Oils are:
Copaiba Resin Oil: Active compounds that help smooth and soften skin
Pracaxi Oil: Contains the highest concentration of Behenic Acid which helps moisturize skin
Andiroba Oil: A plant extract with omega-6 fatty acids that help replenish skin
Another mask I have been trying from Kiehl's is there new Ginger Leaf & Hibiscus Firming Overnight Mask ($54 at Kiehl's). This mask contains Ginger Leaf to soften fine liens and Botanical Hibiscus to hydrate and firm skin. The mask comes in a jar and you apply it like you would face cream. It's got a really smooth, light texture and your skin will fell great when it's on. Make sure you apply an even, visible layer all over your face and neck area. Then go to bed and let the mask work it's magic. It doesn't feel heavy at all -- it feels like a moisturizer, and it won't get on your pillowcase. When you wake up, make sure to wash your face and neck to remove the mask. This is a perfect mask for busy women and moms. I find it REALLY helps to refresh and hydrate your skin and it's so easy to use. You can even add a drop of face oil or serum on top of the mask to lock it all in to give your skin maximum hydration. My skin has been feeling firmer too! It's recommended to wear it 5 times a week. If you feel like your skin is in need of help, give this a try. I always do a 7 day mask week when my skin needs help and find that by the end fo the week, I've completely turned my skin around.
Kiehl's is also helping the female farmers of Hoa Binh, Vietnam, where the Ginger Leaf is sourced. I love that they are providing the 14 women who carefully collect the ginger leaves with education and new tools for safer, more efficient farming of Ginger Leaf. Bravo!
