“The Instant Purifying Mask is formulated with Kaolin Clay which draws out dirt and impurities from pores to smooth and refine the skin texture, while the Instant Illuminating Mask uses Hyaluronic Acid to replenish long-lasting hydration and restore radiance.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
artemia extract, diglycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: beeswax, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
“To use, smooth onto the skin then leave in place for up to five minutes before rinsing away with warm water.Following that, the instant illuminating mask works to plump out tired-looking skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and working to revitalise the complexion.With essential oils of cedarwood, ginger and citrus, this refreshing treatment will leave you with a sumptuous lingering scent, as well as a naturally fresh look.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - magnesium aluminum silicate - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
