Beauty Shout Box: AVÈNE SOOTHING RADIANCE MASK {REVIEW}

After many years of being a rather spasmodic user of face masks,

with the exception of my weekly exfoliating and masking ritual, which I have practised

since my early 20's, I have without doubt, in recent years become a

lover of all things masking.

Back in my beauty therapy training days, face masks were viewed as an exclusive salon

treatment to be used as part of the therapists facial.

When I look back now salon masks consisted either Chamomile, Kaolin

or Fullers Earth powders mixed with either Rose Water or Witch Hazel.

Thankfully times have changed and today face masks are

formulated for all skin types and conditions including very sensitive.

Whether you're requiring a mask to brighten, hydrate, moisturise, purify, detox, give radiance, you can literally get a face mask to do anything and everything,

in any colour including a glitter effect and there's even

pink unicorn masks.

I have built up a vast selection of face masks and depending on what I feel my skin

is needing, determines which I'll use.

The type of face mask, I always use post my exfoliation or peel is one that focus's

on soothing, nourishing and repairing the hydro lipid film or skin barrier

yet having used so many over the years I can't believe that I've never tried the

Avène Soothing Radiance Mask

and being a huge fan of Avène products for many years now, this mask had

annoyingly slipped through my "face mask net".

This mask is packed with active ingredients like Hydro-nourishing agents

(including safflower oil) that deeply nourish and hydrate, while strengthening

the skin's natural barrier.

Natural red-fruit extracts, act as a skin cell booster and is combined with

Pre-tocopheryl, a powerful antioxidant which helps protect the skin against

those destructive free radicals.

Lastly no Avène product is complete without the inclusion of the infamous

Thermal Spring Water, which is the key ingredient for soothing, softening and providing your skin with an instant feeling of comfort.

This mask is No-rinse and can be used twice a week.

The Soothing Radiance Mask is a true moisture bath that leaves your skin refreshed,

calm and comforted. Ideal for application post peels, after sunburn, if your skin feels tight, irritated, or just simply dehydrated and dull.

Perfect SOS product for those skins that become disturbed during travels.

It's happily become my "go to" no fuss, leave on overnight kinda face mask and I'm enjoying it so much, it's now become a staple and it should find a home in everyone's

"Mask Wardrobe".
