Review: Nu Skin Epoch Yin and Yang Mask

One category of skin care that isn't necessarily embraced by all and sundry would be masks. Some people deem them to be one step too many, while others don't have enough time to fit another product into their routine (fact: it really depends on the mask and you could totally make it work!). I seem them as a good chance to take a breather and reboot, and masking is another way to seriously treat your skin - after all, you only have the one set, and you've got to be nice to it, given the amount of environmental pollutants, constant touching and wear and tear it experiences regularly.

Enter the Nu Skin Epoch Yin and Yang Mask! Retailing for $52 for 75 ml, the product comes in a tube with  flip life, allowing for easy access. This is composed of a blend of kaolin and charcoal powder, which can help detoxify the skin, resulting in softer, smoother and brighter skin. There is porcelain flower extract (Hoya Lacunosa), which is a specially sourced porcelain flower extract grown through controlled environment agriculture. 

What that means is that this is a technology-based approach to agriculture, with the plant grown in an enclosed, controlled environment, allowing for it to be traced from seed to solution. There is also Jasmine sambac scent, which is meant to help promote inner harmony, and the feeling of relaxation. I also really like that each tube consists of 38% post-consumer recycled plastic, resulting in each tube being slightly different.

This is a pale grey product that is quite thick, but spreads over the skin nicely. I really like that it dries down quite a bit, if you put on a thin layer, but not so much that it ends up completely setting. This means that you can still move your face a bit with the mask sit on your skin, allowing for multi-tasking, while you're masking! Once I wash it off, my skin is left feeling soft and smooth, and I'm loving this for the slightly warmer days that we're having. 

You can look at grabbing your own from over here. Do you treat your skin to a boost regularly?
