Every girl has this few things they can’t leave a house without. And there are definitely things that cannot be missing in our beauty kit. Today we are sharing our top suggestions on what every girl should always have in their beauty essentials.

1. Facial Wash and Makeup Remover

If you care about your skin health so much, you probably already know that maintaining a clean skin is a must and is the primary base of every skin care routine. So a Facial wash and a makeup remover are essential, always! Anything you would put on your face can be useless if you don't have a clean face, and absolutely, whatever expensive treatment you are getting wouldn't suffice if you haven't done the very basic. This may sound basic but everything starts with clean skin so never forget to always prep and clean your skin with a makeup remover and a facial wash. We have a facial wash dedicated to whatever your skin type is, see our Revitalizing Toning Cleanser and acne stop facial cleanser.

2. Hair Dryer

Messy hair don’t care? Nah! We are always a believer that you should always feel and look great no matter what. So unless you get weekly blowouts from a salon, a hairdryer is absolutely something you should have. Drying your hair can be so much fun and having a well-dried hair is really imperative for prepping yourself for the day. We always vouch how self-care is so important, and we qualify that hair care has always been part of self-care.

3. Nail Polish Remover and Nail Dryer

We girls love to look glamorous and chic all the time, and doing our nails can be such a fuss especially if we deal with busy lives. That's where a polish remover and a nail dryer comes handy. Imagine when you actually need to change the color/design of your polish for an unexpected event, just go grab a polish remover and easily design your nails and dry it in an instant with a nail dryer. Voila! Party-ready in just a minute! See our UV LED Nail Dryer for your options.

4. Sunscreen

If you’re dead serious about taking care of your skin, you know that sunscreen is a must-have. Read about our previous blog about how sunscreen is a super important part of a healthy skin routine and should not be missed. Applying sunscreen does not only protect your skin from UV rays but helps in preventing fine lines and sunspots.

5. Lighted Mirror

Everything will be much easier with a lighted mirror.

Learning is really important if you are dedicated to what you do that is why I am very excited to share these 5 amazing tips that I think everyone should know about.

1. Skin Health is Super Important

Before any trick about makeup and accessories, the main thing that was taught in the Makeup artist school is the base, which is the skin, is the most important thing. No makeup can give you perfect skin, but perfect skin can give you a flawless makeup. It all starts from within.  So the basic is to take care of your skin health so any makeup application will be much easier for you. Flawed skin usually gives us a hard time to get creative in our makeup, so it is important that the first thing we want to achieve is healthy and clear skin. Estala offers separate lines of regimens to deal with acne and aging. 

2. Invest in High-Quality Tools and Products

If you want to achieve that flawless makeup you have to get yourself the right tools for the job. Your tools and your makeup are as important as your makeup skills. If you want to apply your makeup like a pro, use great tools and products and see that the application would be better. Using low-quality tools and products can make the quality of your makeup suffer that's why it's not really bad to spend money with quality tools and products as it helps a lot in making a difference to a better makeup application. Think of it as an investment.

3. Always Clean Your Accessories

Having high-quality accessories can be a big help but if you are not taking care of them, you are just wasting money. A great example is your makeup brushes. You can invest in high-quality brushes but if you're not taking care of them and cleaning them regularly, the amount of money you invested in your brushes is a lost opportunity. Your dirty brushes hide makeup leftovers and acne-causing bacterias and other irritants that can cause serious skin problems. Plus, unclean makeup brushes are one of the reasons why your makeup doesn't blend well. So it is really necessary to clean them.  Remember that clean makeup brushes will leave your skin healthier and will ensure your makeup glides on perfectly. Estala Skin Care has a powerful Luxury Make Up Brush Cleaner that helps remove build up from brush tip to base - with no breakage. You can read more in our previous blog about how you can maintain clean makeup brushes.

4. Love but Conceal Your Flaws

It is always thought in makeup school to love your own reflection no matter what. Their makeup lesson teaches to not hate our flaws but just to conceal them. So the best tip they teach is about perfectly covering up unwanted spots. To hide zits and unwanted redness or spots on your face, you have to know how to identify a suitable color to cover up the spot. One primary lesson about this is that opposite colors cancel each other. For example, to cover redness, a green pigmented concealer can do the magic, and using a beige concealer can only make it look muddy.

5. Opposite Colors Can Complement Each Other

Colors are fascinating and can do wonders. You can try to use opposite colors to your advantage. It really depends on your application. It's true that as mentioned above that opposite colors cancels each other when you layer them on top of one another, but if you place two or three colors side by side, that's a different thing. One perfect example is a blue eye that can be truly highlighted by using an orange undertone. On your next makeup application, you can play around different color tones and experiment how they can complement each other.

These are my top 5 favorites and amazing tips I learned from makeup school but one is truly my favorite. It is that loving and caring for your skin is yet the most important thing you should focus on. Any tricks and hacks wouldn't work if you have missed the very foundation. That is why Estala Skin Care is dedicated to our goal of making everyone love their own reflection and so we are continuing in offering Top Quality Skin Care and Beauty Accessories products so you can look good and feel good no matter what.

Having the correct makeup lighting is beneficial when applying makeup and trying to achieve an even and natural coverage. To make sure that your make up is flawless, read about this pro tips about the perfect lighting when using a Vanity Mirror.

1. Natural Daylight Is the Best for Makeup Application

Nothing beats a natural light in giving a more accurate glance of your face. Natural daylight is clear and diffused that illuminates your entire face to help you see if your makeup is not properly blended for a more precise application. But it is not always possible to have natural daylight, especially at night, do it is helpful to have a vanity mirror with light that mimics natural lighting. Our luxury makeup mirror emits softly diffused LED light that PERFECTLY IMITATES NATURAL LIGHTING.

2. Use the Right Type Of Bulbs

Bulb hues have a lot of influence on the way you apply your makeup. LED bulbs have a much better color-rendering that mimic the light similar to natural daylight, so it is so far the best for makeup application. The warm white light bulb is so far the best to use and provides even illumination. Thus, rose, yellow and fluorescent lights are the worst. Yellow can make you look dull, rose lighting can be too warm and fluorescent can be too harsh and super bright that focuses on your blemishes and spots that can look unflattering. Our Holywood Vanity Mirror has a bright LED light bulbs that are FULLY ADJUSTABLE, not only for brightness but also for warmth – CHOOSE BETWEEN PURE WHITE & WARMER YELLOW LIGHT to achieve ideal natural lighting.

3. Lights Should Be At Face Level

Having the lights positioned in a proper face level is ideal to give you the right illumination. Having the lights above or below the face can cast shadows that can make it hard for you to put your make up on, resulting in either putting too much or less makeup as needed. Minimizing shadows will ensure that you're putting your makeup in the right places with the right amount. Do not have the lights solely from the top of the head, because shadows created under the chin and eye socket can be biased in proper makeup application. Our large, professional tabletop mirror is adjustable with a 360° tilting capacity.

4. Use More Than One Light

Using more than one light especially having it on each side of the face can cause the cross illumination effect. It is perfect to make sure that the entire face is lit up and every part is easy to see at one glance. So you have to make sure that the Vanity Mirror you should be using should have lights on both sides and the bulbs are evenly spaced so the lighting is even. It is also best to have lights that provide under-chin and overhead lighting. Our famous Holywood Vanity mirror lets you select your ideal light brightness level using our SMART TOUCH TECHNOLOGY, for PERFECT LIGHTING & MAXIMUM VISIBILITY during your makeup routine.

We all know that lighting is very critical when applying makeup. Applying these lighting tips can be a game changer in applying makeup making it easy to achieve a well-blended makeup with no streaks.

Drying your nails can be a frustrating process especially when all your hard work in decorating your nail art get wasted because it is not cured properly. That is why a good quality nail lamp is recommended and is the most efficient way to dry nails. No more unexpected accidents that can lead your creative nail art spoiled or smeared while waiting for your nails to dry naturally. To prevent these accidents and to put ease into your polish application, using a LED Nail lamp is very useful. Below are some benefits of using an LED Nail Dryer.

Time Efficient

Using a LED nail dryer dries faster obviously than regular air drying and compare to fan nail dryer. We don't want to waste all the time in the world just waiting for your nails to dry when we have the option to get it done for around 30-45 seconds right? If you're a girl who's always on the go but still wants to look great within a snap, a LED nail dryer is best for you!

Our UV LED Nail Dryer gives you the freedom to CHOOSE YOUR DRYING TIME. Simply select your required drying time and place your hand inside. Our Smart Nail Lamp has an auto-sensor to turn the lamp on/off without pressing any keys & large LCD screen to show curing time.

Finer Finish

We need a bit of science to explain why it gives you a finer finish. LED technology targets photoinitiators in the polish to make it cure faster and when the light touches the compounds from the polish it activates it, making the polish to cure into a hard plastic. This is important if you are applying multiple layers of polish to make it appear neat and with a professional finish.

Thus not all type of LED dryer seems to work with all types of nail polish. But worry not cause our luxury nail lamps can cure Basic Polish to Gel Nails and Acrylic to Shellac Polish. Plus the LED beads are evenly distributed inside, to uniformly cure your nails to give a finer professional finish.

Avoid Accidents

You just tap and go and after less than 1-minute, you're assured that your nails are properly dried and you can do all other things without worrying to accidentally smear your nails and having to do it all over again.

Fewer gas expenses too and no unnecessary shopping while on the way to the salon. Why have all these expenses when you can achieve the same quality at the comfort of your own home. It is far the best benefits of having a nail dryer at home.

You must be tired of dealing with your oily skin, aren’t you? Does it give you a hard time putting your make up on? Does it give you enough stress for causing more blemishes on your face? Here we list down some important facts about your oily skin to guide you in a better understanding of your skin type so you can address your skin care concern the right way.

1. An Oily Skin is not a Dirty Skin

You might feel like washing your face often can solve your oily skin problems, but no. Having oily skin doesn't mean that your face is dirty, so you need not to wash it more than thrice daily. As mentioned to our previous blog, having oily skin is caused by an overproduction of oil glands. If you wash your face more often than recommended, and worst if you’re using alcohol-based products that can dry up the skin, your skin will think it needs to produce more oil. Which is exactly the opposite effect we were wishing to have. When washing your face pick a gentle cleanser like our Acne Stop Facial Cleanser that gently removes excess oil and leaves your face feeling clean and refreshed.

2. Oily Skin Needs Some Moisturizing Too

If you think that with oily skin you are getting enough moisture, you have to think again. Just because you already have too much oil on your face you are exempted of moisturizing. As mentioned before, oily skin still needs to be hydrated. Moisturize to make sure you give your skin enough moisture it needs so it won't need to produce more oil for you. Our Acne Stop Gentle Gel will help moisturize your skin and experience less oil while fighting stubborn acne.

3. Using Cosmetics To Cover Up The Oil Can Have A Completely Different Effect

Yes, the only way to cover up the annoying oil is with makeup and there are a lot of brands dedicated for oily skins. Thus a lot of people still doesn't know that oily skin responds better with oil-based products rather than alcohol-based products that literally strip off the oil in your skin, making it drier causing your glands to overcompensate for the lost oil. You can read about this on our previous blog. But the source of oily skin is much deeper than the surface. Cosmetics can actually block pores that can leave your complexion to be more oily. Also, take time to audit your cosmetic products with harsh ingredients that can strip off your natural oil. I am a believer that a good skin care regimen is a foundation of healthy skin, so you don't need to cover up anymore. Check out our complete Acne Regimen to help you out in starting a healthy skin care routine.

The bottom line is experiencing an oily skin can be resolved right at its core. A better understanding of how oily skin works can help you address the problem in a more effective way. It is not an overnight treatment but with the appropriate products designed for the exact skin type you have, you can experience visible results. Such products that Estala Skin Care offers.

Our face is so susceptible to environmental damage and is the very first to show signs of aging. We are all on the same route and we are never too old to start caring for your skin! Prevention is always better than a cure, but there is no such thing as stop aging but we can slow down the aging process. You might be hearing a lot all over the internet on how we can reverse aging, but the real process to slow down aging can be a real chore. More than just marketing gimmicks and buzzy new ingredients it all boils down to the basics. Let's not waste time and money and stick to a skin care routine that can truly help slow down the aging process. So if you are committed to establishing your anti-aging skincare routine, read through the tips we have prepared for you.

1. Always Cleanse and Tone

Regardless of your age or skin type, cleansing and toning should always be included on your daily skincare routine, morning and night. It makes sure your skin is clean and off of damaging components and preps your skin to your skin care regimen. Cleansing at night is much important as it removes dirt and makeup you had for the whole day that can clog your pores. Followed by a toner, as an added measure and thoroughly cleans the skin to make sure any excess dirt or oils are removed in the surface of your skin.

Our Revitalizing Toning Cleanser is a cleanser and a toner in one perfect for sensitive or delicate skin. This anti-aging face cleanser removes dirt and debris without stripping the skin of its natural oils leaving your skin soft and supple. A perfect way to prep the skin for moisturizing treatment.

2. Exfoliate Weekly and Moisturize Daily

If you're looking to stop the signs of premature aging now is the time to amp up your anti-aging regimen.  Weekly exfoliation and daily moisturizing is a must to help your skin slow down aging. Taking off dead skin cells is an important anti-aging measure as well as moisturizing. Exfoliation is about boosting cell turnover and moisturizing normalizes skins moisture keeping your skin hydrated and supple.

Check out our Cell Repair Serum to give your skin a burst of intense and lasting hydration that helps to replenish skin and retain moisture.

3. Apply a Serum and an Eye cream

Hydrating your skin is an essential part if you want to slow down the aging process. If your skin is not properly hydrated, you can have early signs of aging so it is a crucial part of any skin care regimen. Pamper your skin by applying a specialized serum for your skin type.

Try our Cell Repair Serum to give your skin a burst of intense and lasting hydration. This serum helps to replenish the skin and retain moisture while enhancing firmness and elasticity.

Pay attention to your eye area too. Refreshing your eyes is thus another important step to reverse the signs of aging. Apply eye cream to address the visible signs of aging around your eyes such as fine lines, dark circles, and wrinkles. We best advise using an eye cream, twice a day to target this thin spot that commonly the first to show signs of aging.

Try out our Revitalizing Eye Cream that is perfect for any individual who experiences puffy bags under their eyes, dark circles, or dry skin. It is soothing and calming for delicate under-eye skin and reduces puffiness of under-eye bags. It has a Green tea extract and caffeine that act as antioxidants to fight harmful free radicals, reduce redness, and promote the development of collagen, leaving skin feeling firm and looking youthful.

4. Use a Wrinkle Cream at Night

According to studies, our skin is more capable of repairing itself while we sleep. That's why repair creams at night are advised to maximize its effect. So a little help at night with cream could be beneficial in maintaining youthful skin. Start applying a night cream that can help reduce the appearance of many signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and loss of elasticity.

Our Luminiscence Skin Lightening Cream is a  powerful anti-aging skin treatment that prompts skin to increase cell turnover and helps to get rid of hyperpigmentation and dark spots for youthful, even skin.

5. Pay Attention to your Collagen

Our skin stops producing collagen when we reach mid 20’s, which is so important in making our skin look firm and plump. So a daily use of collagen boosting products is a must add in your anti-aging skin care routine. Peptides are known to stimulate an immune response to rebuild and improve collagen. Our CoQ10 Cream with Bio-Peptides works as a powerful antioxidant and stimulates cell renewal to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

6. Never Forget Sunscreen

Wearing sunscreen is the most basic but most important thing you can do for your skin health. It protects your skin from UV rays and the damages you can get from sun exposure such as wrinkles. So this is obviously something you should never miss. I personally advise wearing sunscreen all year round. SPF protects our skin from the dreadful effects of UV rays from the sun. Exposure to UV can cause massive effects on our skin, especially premature aging. By applying sunscreen, you can prevent these damages from the dangerous rays such as fine lines, sun spots and saggy skin.

Additional Tip: Supercharge your Skin with Antioxidant Supplements and Power Foods

Adding oral supplements on your morning or night routine and eating healthy greens can be a big help to your total skin care health. Pollution and other stressors can drain your collagen levels so a good antioxidant supplement can help protect your skin from damages. And we all know that eating healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables is the safest way to stop aging. Read our blog about 5 anti-aging foods to power up your anti-aging regimen.  

An extensive and effective anti-aging skin regimen is our investment. With the overwhelming amount of anti-aging products in the market, we are not sure which of them is really giving results. Our anti-aging and rejuvenation skin care products are compounded with top quality pharmaceutical grade ingredients and are full of anti-oxidants to combat the harmful ‘free radicals’ responsible for much age-related skin damage. Use our Revitalizing Toning Cleanser, Cell Repair Serum, Revitalizing Eye Cream and Co-Q10 Cream with Bio-Peptides in the morning, and Revitalizing  Toning Cleaner, Revitalizing Eye Cream and Luminescence Skin Lighting Cream at night and see significant results.

Treating acne is a whole lot of a process as it requires proper skin care routine and processes. But at times you need to quickly get rid of a pimple popping out of your face, here some quick tips you might want to try.

Honey

Honey has been used as an anti-acne treatment for a very long time. With its fine antibacterial capacities, many anti-acne products in the market add honey in their ingredients. Honey is perfect in killing the germs inside and outside of your skin. It helps cleans and moisturizes the skin and has a mild bleaching effect that prevents scarring. Honey with its detoxifying components has amazing effects when consuming internally or externally. Put a small amount of honey on top of your acne and let it sit for an hour, then wash with clean water or use our Acne-Stop Facial Cleanser.

Baking Soda

Do you wonder why toothpaste is always been a quick acne treatment? That is because most of the toothpaste has baking soda in their ingredient, especially on the white ones. Baking soda which is present in kinds of toothpaste is a mild anti-inflammatory that can help in treating your acne overnight. To use baking soda for your quick acne treatment, combine water and baking soda to create a paste and apply into your face overnight. You will notice less inflammation when you wake up. If you have less time to do the paste, a toothpaste can work too.

Lemon

Both anti-acne and anti-aging, lemons do wonders. The acid of the lemon can keep your skin dry and clean plus the vitamin C found in lemon helps in tightening the skin and act as anti-aging. Combine lemon juice with honey to form a paste and apply to the pimple. It will keep the pimple dry and will draw out the pus.

Cucumber

Juiced or grated cucumber can function as a skin toner and astringent. It can lighten up the scar caused by acne and helps in opening the pores to remove oils, dirt and leftover makeup that can cause more acne. Apply a grated or a sliced cucumber over a pimple to reduce inflammation. Leave overnight and notice the pimple fade with less scar.

Garlic

Garlic has antibacterial components and potent medicinal properties that work best with acne treatment. A clove of garlic rubbed into your pimple or a juice extracted from garlic can help treat your acne. Apply directly into your face leave it on for a few minutes then rinse with water. You will notice your acne to be dryer the next day.

Benzoyl Peroxide

This is the most common over the counter treatment for acne. Benzoyl is known for killing acne-causing bacteria and people usually use benzoyl to prevent acne breakouts. For a quick benzoyl treatment, apply a benzoyl peroxide cream on top of your blemishes for a spot treatment, before going to bed.  It's suggested to cover it with a small bandage to make sure that it stays put on your face all night. You can notice when you wake up that the spot appears to be dry and your acne healed faster. You will get the same effect using our Acne-Stop Cream that helps lose excess oil, get rid of stubborn acne, and prevent future breakouts.

Hope this quick at home skin care hacks help you when there's a rush to get rid of your pimples. But always remember to keep your skin type in mind before trying this hacks and should consult with your dermatologist about any concern you may have with your skin health.

Estala Skin Care offers a complete Acne Regimen Skin Care Package. Our goal at Estala is to offer a total acne regimen that will cure current breakouts, prevent future breakouts, and repair damage caused by acne. We have devised two separate acne collections for normal and oily skin in order to give you the best acne products for your face.

With so much skincare tips and advice you can get from the internet, it can get confusing to know what you really should do and not to. With the blast of information you are getting, we sometimes forget some basic skin care steps and make mistakes out of it. We all want to achieve gorgeous skin but we sometimes disrupt the process without us realizing. Today, we break down 5 of the most common skin care mistakes that you are probably doing which can affect your overall skin health.

Mistake No. 1 - Wearing Make up While You Sleep

We all know that this is a bad idea, but we are all guilty of this. We have a busy schedule that we sometimes want to go straight to bed. But when you realize the effect of sleeping with your make up on, wearing makeup while you sleep will be the last thing you want to do.

The make up you have in your face all day long attracts free radicals that break down the collagen production of our skin making it look dull and dehydrated and can speed up the aging process. When we sleep, our skin is repairing and renewing, and with makeup on, you are giving your skin cells a hard time to do so. Make it a habit to remove your makeup before sleeping so your skin cells can do its job perfectly. You don’t want to wake up with dull skin and clogged pores, do you?

Mistake No. 2 - Not Washing Your Face Properly

This is the biggest mistake we make and the most important thing we should not miss. Perhaps, cleansing is the foundation of your skin care regimen so doing it wrong can sabotage the whole routine. Not washing your face properly stops the production of new skin cells that can lead to a dull complexion. I suggest you do a double cleanse when starting off your skin care regimen. Double cleansing will assure that all impurities and makeup residues are fully removed from your skin. Use a make-up-removing product first before washing your face with a gentle facial cleanser. I personally use Lancôme Eye Makeup Remover followed by our Revitalizing Toning Cleanser. This helps me get rid of stubborn eye makeup and mascara easily, getting my face ready for a nice cleanse with my favorite toning cleanser that gently removes dirt and makeup while leaving my skin soft and supple, prepping my skin for moisturizing with my Cell Repair Serum.

Mistake No. 3 - Skipping SPF

This is something you should never miss. I personally advise wearing sunscreen all year round. SPF protects our skin from the dreadful effects of UV rays from the sun. Exposure to UV can cause massive effects on our skin, especially premature aging. By applying SPF, you can prevent these damages from the dangerous rays such as fine lines, sun spots and saggy skin.

Mistake No. 4 - Improper Sleeping Pattern

Not getting enough sleep is another culprit why you are getting a dull complexion. As mentioned, while sleeping, our skin cells regenerate and repairs and if you are not giving them enough time to do their job, how can you expect them to give you a healthy and glowing skin? It is highly recommended to get at least 8hours of straight sleep to maximize the rejuvenation process plus all the other health benefits you can get from sleeping. And do you also know that sleeping on your side can give you wrinkles? When you sleep on your side, you are applying too much pressure to your face that leads to creases. To prevent this, we suggest for you to try sleeping on your back or using a silk pillowcase which is softer to lessen the pressure on your skin. You can always try our C0Q10 Cream with Biopeptides before going to sleep to stimulate cell renewal as you sleep to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Mistake No. 5 - Not Getting Enough Water

Water makes wonders not only to our skin but to our whole body in general. Water keeps not only the skin cells but the whole body hydrated. It maintains moisture on our skin and is keeping your skin hydrated and supple. It’s advised to get 8 glasses of water or more every day. Not getting enough water can result in a dry and dull looking skin. Check out our Cell Repair Serum to give your skin a burst of intense and lasting hydration that helps to replenish skin and retain moisture.

We all have the best intention in taking care of our skin and it can be sometimes confusing to try different skin care practices. But having a consistent routine and getting the knows of what and what not to do can give a better impact on your skin health. Make sure to remember these common mistakes and try not to do them so you can achieve that gorgeous skin you’re wishing for.

If you are committed to bettering your skin, applying a face mask should be added into your skincare routine. It is one of the easiest ways to treat and pamper your skin as it does not requires daily application. A face mask is usually applied at least once or twice a week, and will only take about 15-20 minutes for the whole routine. Apply a good face mask and experience immense benefits and improvement on your skin health.

Benefits of Applying a Face Mask

1. Fights Aging

Regular use of a face mask reduce the signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles giving a plump and youthful appearance. Loose skin makes you look older, but because of the firming effect of a mask, it enhances collagen production and fights free radical damage which results in firmer and tighter skin.

2. Added Hydration

A good face mask also gives added hydration into your skin. Masks that are designed for hydration enhances skin elasticity and soften the skin as the water penetrates deep into the skin. Hydrated and well-moisturized skin appears to be more healthy and glowing.

3. Tightens and Refines Pores as it Deep Cleanse

Everyday cleansing helps your skin to remove dirt and other impurities but applying a mask do the deep cleaning. It draws out impurities that are hiding beneath the top layers of your skin. It’s detoxifying your skin as it goes right underneath your epidermis and cleanses the pores of dead skin cells and unclog your pores from oily substances and metabolic wastes which contributes a lot in refining your pores.

A good face mask that has a substance called Bentonite is best as it helps remove dirt while absorbing excess oils at the same time. It also unclogs build-up skin cells that your skin accumulates. We all know that clogged pores are one of the culprits of having breakouts. This is one of the main reason why you should start applying a face mask today.

Our acne stop skin care line offers a powerful face mask for acne that leaves skin feeling smooth and looking radiant while fighting stubborn acne. The secret ingredient to this acne-fighting product is bentonite and benzoyl peroxide. Bentonite, a healing clay mineral, helps absorb oil, draw out toxins, and unclog and shrink pores instantly, that helps in preventing acne. Benzoyl peroxide kills acne-causing bacteria to get rid of breakouts and prevent more from starting.

Apart from these benefits, the soothing smell and the immediate effect you can actually feel while applying a mask gives you a sense of relaxation and helps you de-stress. It’s like having a facial at home. With these benefits, it is obvious that using a facial mask at least once or twice a week is complementary to your everyday skincare routine.

Check out our very own Acne Stop Facial Mask that will keep your face looking fresh and even while preventing future breakouts.
