Who doesn’t love travelling. I love holidays and 2016 has been a really busy year in terms of travels & relocations. I always stock up travel kits to carry with me during long flight journeys & also 1-2 of mini holidays. Clinique, Kiehl’s & Benefit are the skincare brands that I always prefer to buy travel essentials from. In today’s post – I am talking about a recently found love. During my 14 hour in-flight journey recently, I carried this little bag of wonders with me and I must say for my sensitive skin- It worked fairly well and I am quite impressed.

This mask was super easy to apply. After cleansing my skin, I applied a thin layer of mask on my face avoiding the under eye area. Mask went on smooth. Upon applying and it getting dried – I felt a cooling sensation which I like.  The moment you put this mask on, You will find a slight tingling sensation. Bu, nothing to worry about. I have a super sensitive skin and this didn’t give any breakouts etc.

Once dried, mask still remained soft on face without making skin stretchy or cracky. After about 8 minutes of applying I sprayed water on my face and using a damp face cloth, I gently rubbed it in circular motions and washed off with cool water.

My pores were clear, and my skin had a nice glow. I really like this mask. It has 6 peptides including Plumping Peptides, Relaxing Peptide, Moisture-Binding Peptide and Hydration which offer superior anti-aging & hydration properties. It also contains bentonite and kaolin clay that draw out toxins and impurities as well as excess sebum to help prevent clogged pores. Definitely a winner – This small size is going to last for about 4 uses.

If you are looking for a non greasy, yet hydrating eye contour cream especially to use during long flight hours- this is great. it hydrates the eye area really well. Using my ring finger, I apply a pea-sized amount to the eye contour and above the crease of the eyelid giving a gentle massage. Even if you are not wearing any makeup. It gives a luminous glow to your under eye area. its light weight, gets instantly absorbed and is very hydrating which makes it a good eye cream.
