Evening routine decadence

Research has shown the importance of using the right skincare at night – ‘beauty sleep’ really does exist. While we rest, the skin is hard at work, repairing damage and ensuring our skin is healthy, strong and prepared for the day ahead, which is why the skincare we use at night is so important.

At the end of each day, take the time to unwind and calm the mind as you care for your skin with a luxurious face mask. Like an at-home spa treatment, the incredible masks from the Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond range soothe the senses while caring for the skin. For those who travel, live in the city, or just feel their skin needs refreshing and re-energizing, the Ultimate Diamond Revitalizing Mask Noir works gently but deeply to clean and detox a dull, tired-looking complexion. Before applying the mask, prep your skin using the soft skin brush; work it in light circles all over the face and neck to boost microcirculation and enhance the benefits of the mask. The brush is also a great morning treat to ‘wake up’ the skin when you are feeling (or looking) tired or jet-lagged.

Dry, dehydrated skin will be transformed by the deeply pampering Ultimate Transformative Thermal Ritual Massage Mask and Warming Stone. Rich in natural oils including shea butter, avocado, evening primrose and jojoba, it melts into your skin. To take it from an ordinary treatment to the extraordinary, warm the massage stone in hot water, dry it off and use it to gently massage your face: simply work along the contours of your neck, jawline, cheek and brow bones, sweeping the stone from the center of the face, upwards and outwards. Releasing areas of tension while helping the velvety-rich oils to absorb into your warmed skin, this massage ritual brings a moment of calm to the end of a hectic day. For the ultimate relaxing treatment, use both masks consecutively, whether before a special event or just pre-sleep – it’s an indulgent ritual for incredible skin.
