3LAB Perfect Mask
Have you ever had one of those days…weeks…when your skin just goes haywire and none of your usual tricks seem to work? Well B. Spotters that was me last week and let me tell you- I…WAS…NOT…HAPPY! My skin was totally dehydrated and my complexion dull- the epitome of stressed out skin; I was in dire need of intense moisture, calming and a brightening boost! I had to pull out the big guns so it was off to my B.A. (Beauty Arsenal) when I came across 3LAB’s Perfect Mask. I bypassed the claims all together and went right for the ingredient label to see if it had what I needed to get my skin back in shape. B. Spotters, it did the trick! After the treatment my skin felt rejuvenated, calm and it was far less patchy than before the mask. I have to admit, the instructions say to leave the mask on for 10 minutes but I fell asleep so it more like an hour and I’m sure that a good nap also went a long way in the rejuvenation and calming aspect!
Science Behind It:
The first three ingredients on the list are water, glycerin and sodium hyularonate– all great tried and true ingredients to bring molsture to the skin (bit of trivia- did you know that sodium hyularonate can absorb (water) up to 100x’s it weight). The mask contains beta glucan that has compelling data showing how it can help out in the wound healing process, stimulate your skin’s immune defense and increase moisture. For those of you concerned with wrinkles, the Perfect Mask contains peptides to stiimulate collagen production and a synthetic growth hormone that replaces the hormones that we lose due to age.
My theory is if your skin is calm and moisturized then everything else will fall into place and I was right. By the end of the the hour my skin was soft, smooth and looked much healthier!
