Back to Forever Young

1) ENZYME MASK

Brighten and Rejuvenate

 

Enzyme Masks use natural enzymes, typically derived from fruits like papaya, pineapple, or pumpkin, to gently break down dead skin cells. They offer a chemical exfoliation without the need for scrubbing, making them a great alternative for sensitive skin or those who may find the scrub I recommended in the weekly section a little too harsh. Enzyme masks help to brighten the complexion, improve texture, and boost cell turnover. They’re generally more hydrating than clay masks and focus on gentle exfoliation and rejuvenation.

Andalou Pumpkin Honey Glycolic Mask

 

The Andalou Pumpkin Honey Glycolic Mask is a top-tier treatment that combines the exfoliating power of glycolic acid with the nourishing properties of pumpkin and honey.

Whether you’re targeting dullness, uneven texture, or dehydration, this mask offers a luxurious yet budget-friendly solution. Here’s why it’s a standout choice:

2) CLAY MASK

Detox and Deep Clean

 

For a deeper detox, I recommend adding a clay mask to your routine once a month. It’s perfect for drawing out impurities, controlling excess oil, and giving your skin a fresh start. The deep cleansing power of clay helps refine pores and balance oily areas, leaving your skin feeling clean and rejuvenated. Using it monthly strikes the perfect balance without over-drying or irritating your skin!
