A cleansing and hydrating mask are essential for men as well as women. This is because skin is skin. Both men and women need to have their skin cleansed and hydrated. Let me tell you why.
A deep cleansing mask, if properly designed, will remove toxins and revitalize your face and neck. Of course, the average products on the market contain more toxins than they will remove. They dry to a hard crust that is difficult to remove which causes redness and inflammation.
A good mask does none of those things. After 30 minutes, you simply rinse it off. There is no scrubbing required. The best companies include ingredients that are known to reduce inflammation and redness, since men’s faces are prone to both. If you want the best results, you’ll alternate the deep cleansing mask, with a deep hydrating mask, using each twice a month.
Here are the ingredients that you should be looking for.
Kaolin
Kaolin an extract from special New Zealand clay. Kaolin absorbs excessive oils and gently pulls grime out of the pores. It has mild drying and disinfectant action that helps to heal blemishes. It has been shown to reduce inflammation. By cleaning dirt out of the pores, it helps prevent blackheads and pimples.
Bentone Gel
Bentone gel is another clay extract that works in synergy with kaolin, intensifying its cleansing effects. Clay masks have been used for centuries as a beauty aid for women and men. The difference with these new masks is that they don’t dry out, the way that most of them do.
Manuka honey
This ingredient, manuka honey, is found in both thedeep hydrating and the deep cleansing masks.The company also includes it in their body lotion and eye gel.
Honey has been used for centuries to promote wound healing and improve the skin’s health, but no one really wants to put sticky honey all over their faces. In order to turn this ingredient into a pleasant lotion, the company dehydrates it. This results in a powder that is blended with oils like macadamia or avocado.
Even though it has been used since ancient times, no one really knew why or IF honey was really an effective ingredient. Recently, researchers have been able to evaluate the enzymes found in honey. It was learned that they have natural antibacterial and antioxidant activity.
Of all the varieties in the world, manuka is the most active. Bees gather their pollen exclusively from the manuka bush, a flowering shrub that grows only in New Zealand.
Manuka will make your skin look younger and softer. It is even beneficial for serious conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
CYNERGY TK & RIGIN
CYNERGY TK is found inboth the hydrating and the cleansing masks. It has been described as an “anti-aging miracle”. In clinical studies, it has been shown to boost skin-cell production, increase firmness, increase moisture content, reduce inflammation and act as an antioxidant. The company includes CYNGERGY TK in all of their skincare products.
RIGIN is only found in the deep hydrating mask. It further boosts firmness and elasticity. Judging from the clinical trials, when combined with CYNERGY TK, you could increase the skin’s firmness by as much as 82%. There are no other products like these anywhere in the world. -Margaret Bell
