1. Warm Washcloth Compress and Cleanse
"I start with a warm washcloth compress to open the pores, then I use the cleanser." ~Karen
By using a warm washcloth to start her routine with The Hydrating Mask, Karen helps loosen dirt and oil build-up in her pores.
She then uses Sole Toscana's ROSEWATER WELLSPRING CLEANSER to gently cleanse and tone her skin.
Cleansing and patting the skin dry prepares it to receive all the benefits from The Hydrating Mask.
2. Apply The Hydrating Mask and Relax
"I apply in gentle little circles, to start the exfoliation process." ~Karen
Sole Toscana's THE HYDRATING MASK contains recycled, micronized olive leaves from its Italian countryside farm to gently exfoliate the skin. This helps remove any barriers to the skin, allowing for the hydrating ingredients of the mask to more fully be absorbed.
IMPORTANT: Be gentle as you exfoliate and pay attention to how your unique skin reacts. You don't want to over exfoliate and irritate the skin.
After applying the mask, Karen waits about 15 minutes. She likes to read a book or watch TV during this time.
"It stays moist as it dries, which is much more comfortable than other masks."
Here are more ideas on what to do during this time:
-
Listen to relaxing music
-
Meditate
-
Write in a journal (a gratitude journal has been shown to improve mental health)
-
Take a bath
-
Simply relax
-
Call a friend or family member (you'll have to use the speaker!)
3. Rinse and Apply a Cold Washcloth
"I gently rinse it off with a washcloth, again using gentle circles. Once rinsed, I apply a cold washcloth." ~Karen
When Karen removes the mask, the circles help provide a final gentle exfoliation. The skin is now moisturized, purified (pores unclogged), and exfoliated.
We love the idea of the cold washcloth compress. Karen says it helps "refresh my skin".
4. Apply Serum and Face Cream
"I use the Neroli Serum and follow that with the Rosehip & Calendula Cream" ~Karen
To finish her routine with the mask, Karen infuses her skin with vitamins and antioxidants found in the NEROLI RADIANCE SERUM. Then, she uses the ROSEHIP & CALENDULA TRIPLE CREAM to hydrate, firm, and restore her skin.
Because she has just used The Hydrating Mask, her skin better absorbs the natural and organic ingredients from these products.
"Needless to say, I’m thrilled with this new product!"
We hope you've been inspired by Karen's evening mask routine...
By using The Hydrating Mask 2-3x per week, Karen has taken the health of her skin to a new level. Not only does her skin feel incredible immediately following its application, but the mask also helps the skin to get more benefits out of her daily routine the rest of the week with the 4-STEP SOLE TOSCANA SKINCARE SET.
How are you going to incorporate The Hydrating Mask into your skincare routine?
