Alya Skin

💗 The Power of Pink Australian Pink Clay Mask from Alya Skin 💗

This Pink Clay Mask from @alyaskinaus is said to be safe for sensitive skin which is what first intrigued me - I’ve always loved the idea of clay masks but they’ve mostly been a bit too drying for my skin type. I first dipped my toes (quite literally) into clay masking when I visited the historical red clay mud baths at the Glen Ivy Hot Springs spa in Southern California. My next mud bath experience was in New Zealand when I soaked in the mineral rich muds & sulfur waters in Rotorua...

Fast forward to this unique pink clay from Australia which is not too drying like typical Red Kaolin clay, because it also features the moisturizing effects of White Kaolin clay...💗 Pink clay is said to draw out impurities while also adding moisture to help replenish skin.

This mask is also loaded with anti-inflammatory silica to improve skin elasticity = major points for me!

Claims:

✔️ Detoxifies & Brightens

✔️ Tightens Pores

✔️ Extracts Pollutants 

✔️ Reduces Inflammation 

✔️ Safe for Sensitive Skin

Since I have dry/sometimes sensitive skin I follow a specific routine when using this mask:

First off - the experience is lovely, featuring a light rose scent with a gooey consistency that reminds me of whipped marshmallows. That sounds weird but it’s not 💗 It’s so cool!

I apply to clean skin prior to a shower or bath so the bathroom is nice and steamy - why because I don’t actually want it to dry down. I want it stay moist... I also don’t leave on the full recommended 10 minutes. Instead, I jump on in the shower and with damp hands massage it in for a few minutes.

Just rinse off and then later follow up with all the hydrating products 💗💗 The results for me are an instant glow, reduced redness & decongested pores!

What do you think of clay masks?? Do you already use in your routine?

Product Review: The Brightening Sleep Mask from Thrive

HAPPY SPRING! To celebrate, I have a....Snow Shot, Spring hasn’t arrived here quite yet & it’s gloomy today so a brightening mask seems in order 😉

Overnight Sensation ~ Brightening Sleep Mask from Thrive Causmetics!

I have a thing about sleeping masks! Such a simple concept yet so highly effective when you find the ideal formula for your skin type, environment & climate! 

I have dry skin that’s also dehydrated AND I live in one of the driest climates in the world...ok maybe not THE driest, but it sure does seem like it sometimes, especially during the winter months!! Is it Spring yet?? 

The ideal formula for me is one that will truly hydrate my skin throughout the entire night (seriously, I don’t want to wake up with dry, tight skin!)

The Overnight Sensation Sleep Mask definitely delivers hydration while also giving my skin a smoother, brighter feeling upon waking up! It features a cooling formula with a light scent of lavender & citrus.

I gently massage this in at the end of my nighttime routine. It absorbs nicely & quickly enough. The Melatonin, HA, Licorice Root extract, Vitamin C, Lavender & Rosehip Oils + Aloe Vero all combine to give my skin much needed hydration!

Happy Spring!
