Masks still reign supreme when it comes to providing skin with a hit of
nourishment, whether it be for hydration, anti-ageing or pigmentation
problems. They are efficient and fuss-free, not to mention ideal for applying
while you’re relaxing with a good book and a cuppa before bed. Choose
between a sheet mask or one you apply yourself and get ready to relax –
and don’t forget your neck and décolletage. These areas love the benefits
these skincare products can offer.Hair masks give your
hair a burst of goodness

Masque, $94.Tip
You’ll want to cleanse
your face before applying
a mask, and even better,
put a hot towel over your
face if you have the time.
It leaves your skin slightly
moist, which allows the
active ingredients to
better penetrate skin.
Fancy feet
Feet can feel neglected during a time
when winter boots and thick stockings
are covering them up – but there’s
nothing like a pop of colour to brighten
a dreary day. Slick on a base coat
to protect your natural nails, apply
your chosen colour, then finish with
a top coat to ensure the polish goes
the distance.
Another pampering treat for tootsies
is a foot scrub. Soak your feet in warm
water to soften the skin before using
a heavy-hitting exfoliating scrub –
peppermint ones are ideal for their
cooling effect. With the aid of a loofah,
buff off any dead skin, which is common
around the heel area, before layering on
a thick lotion and locking in the hydration
with some socks.
