Sensitive and reactive skin usually needs calming more than it needs actives, and a masque is a good way to deliver that concentrated for fifteen minutes rather than diluted across a whole routine.
Arnica, calendula and ivy do the soothing work here, with shea butter and horse chestnut supporting the barrier while it settles.
Who it suits
All skin types, but made specifically for sensitive skin and rosacea-prone skin. If your face flushes easily, reacts to new products or feels tight and hot after cleansing, this is the masque to reach for.
What is in it, and why
- Arnica — cleanser; long used for calming
- Marigold (calendula) — gently soothes, cleans and moisturises the look of skin
- Ivy leaf — nutrient and antioxidant; a source of high-potency vitamin C
- Horse chestnut — tones and tightens the appearance of skin
- Shea butter — rich emollient that revitalises and helps repair skin
How to use it
Apply an even layer to cleansed skin, leave for the time stated on the pack, then rinse with lukewarm water — not hot, which will undo the calming. Use whenever skin is reactive, or two to three times a week as maintenance.
What to pair it with
Part of the Calm Skin range with the Chamomile Moisturizer and Arnica Booster-Serum. Browse Masques, Moisturizers and Serums & Oils.
