One of my favourite things to do is slather on a good face Mask and zone out to some garbage (read: amazing) reality show on Hayu. Needless to say, it leaves me feeling better about myself on so many levels. All jokes aside, I love how there's a mask for any skin ailment (dryness? breakouts? dullness? no problem!), which is probably why masking was the most Googled beauty search of 2018. And because my holy grail skincare brand, IMAGE, is clearly the smartest ever, they've given the people more of what they want via two new mask releases that are quite literally blowing my mind. Let's discuss.

The brand's hydrogel sheet masks are like no other, and they've been rebranded into the sexy packaging you see above, but the new superstars on the IMAGE Skincare roster are the I MASK Firming Transformation Mask and the I MASK Purifying Probiotic Mask. Mouthfuls to be sure, but honest-to-God complexion game-changers. The Firming Transformation Mask is a fun metallic blue colour that's v Instagramable, but more importantly, it delivers deep hydration (that you, hyaluronic acid) while leaving skin feeling firmer and more plump. It helps skin resist stressors that cause premature aging, and as a total bonus, it's formulated with jojoba beads to gently exfoliate while you rinse it off. Talk about multi-tasking. I've been using this one weekly and my skin looks so much better as a result. 

The Purifying Probiotic Mask, on the other hand, is perfect for keeping breakouts and temperamental skin at bay. It's enriched with superfood ingredients and, as the name would suggest, probiotics to balance the skin's natural flora and help it to resist dehydration, while Brazilian green clay and activated charcoal work to refine skin and remove impurities. I've been using this one during my time of the month (aka- when my skin throws a hissy fit) and I love the results. Prior to this one Glamglow's Supermud Activated Charcoal Treatment Mask was my go-to for combatting hormonal breakouts, but this mask is definitely giving that one a run for its money. Bless.

Not a new product by any means, but while we're talking about superstar masks, an honourable mention to Image's The Max Stem Cell Masque is definitely in order. It's a game-changer for dull skin, and I'm big-time addicted to it. So much so that I now want to try more stem cell products. For example, I've heard amazing things about Genucel and their stem cell range, so if you've tried it, please let me know your thoughts! xx
