The Best Face Masks for Winter
Over Winter, our skin can easily become dehydrated, and lose its gorgeous glow. A hydrating mask is a great quick fix, to restore moisture, hydration, and nourishment to Winter skin. According to Sandrine Carliez, Global Trainer for Guinot, using a face mask will have an immediate effect on your skin, so you can rebalance your skin faster (as opposed to serums and moisturisers which can take longer to see or feel the effects). Using a face mask doesn’t have to add time to your existing beauty routine – apply it in the bath and enjoy a bit of me time, while reading a book, or even while cooking dinner, and let the mask work its magic. What do we think are the best Face Masks for Winter? Read on to find out.
