Introducing the new Hydro Masque Exfoliant from Dermalogica, a hydrating and exfoliating five minute masque that smoothes and renews for luminous, healthy looking skin. We caught up with Dermalogica’s Education Executive Victoria Schofield to find out more.
If you suffer with dull, flaky skin, dryness or dehydration, you may reach for a hydrating masque to remedy these symptoms but if you haven’t exfoliated first, dead cell build-up can act as a barrier for hydrating ingredients to effectively absorb. The quickest way to smooth and renew your skin is with an exfoliant. Exfoliating the skin removes dulling, dead skin cells that accumulate on the surface and helps prime the skin for optimal absorption of hydrating products. However, did you know, it’s critical to replenish lost moisture in the barrier within 60 seconds after exfoliating? With Hydro Masque Exfoliant you don’t need to worry about applying two separate formulas as it combines both regimen steps in one!
Hydro Masque Exfoliant offers you a personalized way to exfoliate via unique touch-activated Bamboo spheres. You can move the spheres to the areas you need more exfoliation where skin is drier or rough in texture. The ultra-fine Bamboo particles dissolve upon activation, delivering a gentle level of exfoliation. These touch-activated Bamboo spheres also contain a hydrating polysaccharide and glycerin to protect the skins moisture barrier.
The unique aspect of Hydro Masque Exfoliant is that it delivers instant and long-lasting hydration immediately as you exfoliate. The hydro-cream base of the masque contains lots of wonderfully hydrating ingredients to deliver long-lasting moisture and barrier restoring properties. Snow Mushroom holds 450 times its weight in water, infusing skin with hydration and it’s also rich in antioxidants and Vitamin D. The masque also contains Jojoba Ester and Amino Acids derived from Sugar Beets to hydrate and strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier, with Cucumber Extract providing a soothing, refreshing finish.
In clinical studies, Hydro Masque Exfoliant is proven to give a smoother feeling and more hydrated skin after just one use with 80% of consumers saying their skin felt smoother and they liked the appearance of their skin.
To use, apply generously to cleansed skin, avoiding the eye area. Massage in circular motions until spheres disappear, concentrating on areas in need of exfoliation. Let the masque activate for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Follow with your serums and moisturizer. Use once or twice a week.
