DRY EXFOLIATING POWDER 1 MINUTE MASK
Dry exfoliating powders that are mixed with water or cleansers are popular this season. Their exfoliating properties absorb dirt and oil deep from within the pores. From Bare Minerals is the Mix Exfoliate Smooth product, a cocktail of Chardonnay, sweet orange peel and black rice grains that is designed to be mixed with a daily cleanser for a smooth, polished complexion.
Time is always of the essence, and when in a rush, Dior’ s new Dream Skin 1-Minute Mask is a gel formula that upon contact turns into a gentle exfoliator using salicylic acid, ending with a peeling action that helps smooth the complexion.
MOISTURISER DRY SHEET MASK
Moisturisers that provide a mattifying effect for shine-prone skin are popular this season. Estee Lauder’ s Daywear Matte is an antioxidant gel cream that claims to control oil and minimise shine for an eight-hour stretch, using the brand’ s own Moisture Matte Technology which claims to absorb oils while moisturising without adding shine.
From Charlotte Tilbury there is the new Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask. The mask works to instantly lift, decrease wrinkles, smooth, hydrate and brighten skin and nourish and hydrate where it needs it. wirrallife. com 61
