Refresh and repair
04-10-2010
Sunshine itself is an uplifting tonic; it helps to lift the spirits and can have a healing and cleansing effect on the body, working to strengthen the immune system. However, too much sun can lead to dry skin and the effects of too much sun are aging and, even more importantly, harmful. Facemasks can put some of the goodness back into your skin and after a 10-15min application of a mask your face can be left feeling rejuvenated and revitalized.
Sacred Truth (£4.95 for 75g)

This highly effective mask is made with ingredients especially chosen to help fight the aging process. Wheatgrass, Green Tea and Ginseng, three of the most powerful antioxidant ingredients nature has to offer, were chosen for this mask. They have proven protective qualities, mopping up the free radicals that cause aging. They help to limit and repair skin damage. The formula also combines a vast amount of potent fresh ingredients such as linseeds, natural yoghurt and honey; all extremely softening and help the skin retain moisture.
