This is probably the fastest-working mask you’ll ever find. Also known as a ‘splash mask’, this watery treatment can be used in the shower and works in just 15 seconds. Inspired by traditional Korean bathhouses where women would splash botanically-infused water onto their faces after cleansing, this splash mask likewise helps to moisturise and gently exfoliate skin with its lactic acid blend. Use this in the shower: pour a capful of the liquid onto your hands and gently pat the solution onto clean, moist skin (avoiding eyes and lips). Afterwards, splash and rinse with water a few times and step out of the shower with a glow.
Natural bentonite clay draws out impurities and toxins while black elderflower calms and softens skin. True to this organic Swedish brand’s belief, this deep cleansing mask is both gentle on skin and on the environment. Leave on for three to five minutes and rinse with warm water.
