Time. It’s something we just don’t seem to have enough of. Sometimes, all we want to do at the end of a long day is skip the long-drawn skincare routines and just hop into bed. Fortunately, we can now speed through our skincare steps with multifunctional products, like this 2-in-1 masque by Dermalogica!

Dermalogica Hydro Masque Exfoliant

When we have dry skin, we tend to reach for a hydrating mask or moisturiser. However, oftentimes we find that our products aren’t absorbing properly into the skin and the skin still feels dehydrated after. Hence, the secret to improving the efficacy of our skincare ingredients lies in exfoliation. Exfoliating the skin before anything else helps to boost cell turnover and optimize the penetration of nourishing ingredients.

Dermalogica’s all-new Hydro Masque Exfoliant is a 2-in-1 booster that combines the best of both an exfoliant and a hydrating face mask. And since you’ll only need to leave it on for 5 minutes, it’s great for days when you don’t have enough time and just want to keep things simple yet effective. The masque itself has an ultra-soft creamy consistency and contains tiny blue spheres that act as exfoliants upon contact with the skin.

Skin-Loving Goodness

The Hydro Masque Exfoliant contains 5 key ingredients for healthy, glowing skin.

1. Bamboo

Bamboo extract is rich in minerals and dissolves easily upon contact with the skin to deliver a targeted yet gentle exfoliation.

2. Snow Mushroom

Snow mushrooms can carry 450x its weight in water, thus effectively delivering moisture, Vitamin D and antioxidants to the skin.

3. Phytolipids

Taken from the natural oils of jojoba, sunflower and safflower seeds, phytolipids serve to strengthen and fortify the skin’s moisture barrier.

4. Sugar Beets

Sugar beets contain amino acids which are great for fortifying the skin’s moisture barrier and preventing transepidermal water loss.

5. Cucumber Extract

Last but not least, cucumber extract helps to calm redness and soothe inflammation in tired and dehydrated skin.

How To Use It

First, start with freshly cleansed skin. When your skin is still damp, take 2 to 3 pumps of the masque and distribute it evenly onto your face, taking care to avoid the delicate eye area. Next, massage the masque onto the skin using gentle circular motions, feeling the spherical exfoliants dissolve onto your skin. Then, leave the masque on to activate for 5 minutes and rinse it off thoroughly before following up with your moisturizer.

The Power Of Customization

In conjunction with the launch of the new Hydro Masque Exfoliant, Dermalogica has launched a “Feel The Spheres” app that scans photos of your face and skin to create a custom masque routine to target areas of dry and dehydrated skin. Pretty neat eh?

Where To Get: Dermalogica Hydro Masque Exfoliant 50ml, RM298 is available at authorized Dermalogica Skincare Centres nationwide.
