Best Ways to Get the Most Out of a Resurfacing Mask
We share Tammy’s cherished double-masking protocol and the best ways to get the most out of a resurfacing mask ritual for soft, calm, and illuminated skin.
Benefits of an Instant Resurfacing Mask
Our approach to achieving a fresh complexion is to choose natural skin-refining remedies like Hibiscus and White Lily, loved for their gentle yet effective exfoliation properties, as alternatives to stronger resurfacing options such as salicylic acid.
Both Hibiscus and White Lily bring many benefits, particularly in enhancing skin's natural radiance, encouraging skin cell turnover, improving texture, and offering soothing and hydrating effects.
Tammy’s signature double masking protocol, used in the Spa, includes Epi-Peel followed by Restorative Radiance Masque or Purifying Luculent Masque. Both of these opulent proprietary blends contain meticulously sourced herbal remedies, favoring wild-crafted or ingredients from organic farming.
BEST WAYS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF A RESURFACING MASK
Let’s explore these exquisite plant remedies, how they work in harmony to create a complete treatment, and the best ways to get the most out of a resurfacing mask treatment.
How to use an Instant Resurfacing Mask
Carve out time and space for a peaceful ritual. While the effects can be almost instant, we’ve seen that you do get the most out of your skin care routine when you approach the practice with self care. Allow the experience to be more than skincare. Let it be a moment of intention, a nurturing pause, not only for your skin but for your spirit, too. Create an intimate, relaxing atmosphere which might include soothing music or a favorite herbal tea that helps you ground into the moment (like Tulsi).
Deep cleansing the skin is the first step, using our award-winning micro-exfoliator Epi-Peel to lift away oil and buildup and to help reveal fresh, healthy skin.
The formula’s mineral-rich Kaolin Clay base absorbs impurities, while gentle exfoliants whisk away dullness, refining the pores, and illuminating the complexion.
Apply a thin layer and massage Epi-Peel onto dampened skin with gentle circular motions. This helps to encourage micro-circulation and release tension. Inhale the stimulating and clarifying aromas of Rosemary and Spearmint and allow the formula to set for 10 minutes before removing it with a warm, damp cloth.
With your skin now fresh and beautifully receptive, apply a thick pack of Restorative Radiance Masque or Purifying Luculent Masque as the perfect next step.
Purifying Luculent Masque is an ideal match for oily and combination skin types to revitalize and balance the complexion. Ancient detoxifying remedies, including Fo-Ti, Great Burdock, and Illite Clay, cleans the skin deeply, while the natural AHAs of Hibiscus and Sweet Orange Oil gently exfoliate at the surface.
The purifying formula gently encourages detoxification, helps draw out impurities, and absorbs oil while bringing balance and tightening pores, while Aloe Leaf Juice helps calm sensitive skin and reduce redness. Activating the crown chakra, this herbal remedy can also support a feeling of ease and clarity of mind. Allow the mask to remain on the skin for 10 - 15 minutes before removing with a warm cloth.
For mature, dehydrated, or dry skin, Restorative Radiance Masque is the perfect choice.
This lavish and lightly creamy bisque pink treatment mask is made from a sumptuous blend of exquisite flower waters and nutritive exotic extracts, including Lotus, Baobab, Jasmine and Rose. Allow the mask to remain on the skin for 10 - 15 minutes, use this time as a restful end to a busy day. To extend the restorative experience, leave the Masque overnight and allow your skin to drink in the exquisite plant remedies.
For complete care, follow with one of our flower tonics—Bulgarian Rose Water, Essential C Tonic or Roman Chamomile Tonic, lightly sweeping a tonic-soaked cotton pad across the skin. This pure transmission of floral essence brings renewed vitality to the complexion and enlivens all the senses.
Then treat your skin to our deeply nutritive serum, Quintessential Serum. This precious, ultra-concentrated serum provides a wealth of nutrients for a complexion that just glows with dewy luminescence.
When you have more time, you might enjoy an in depth resurfacing process for the entire body, a complete revival of the skin and senses. Take it head to toe with Epi-Body Polish to leave the skin feeling soft, radiant, and beautifully aromatic. The multi-purpose exfoliating scrub and body mask is a blend of natural exfoliants to buff and polish the skin and is enriched with the soothing qualities of Marjoram, the uplifting essence of Peppermint, and the clarifying properties of Great Burdock Root.
Finally, a lavish application of Bulgarian Lavender Body Oil will help hydrate thirsty skin and bring a supple radiance and softness to the skin. The pure, clean scent of lavender can calm on every level and help soothe the nervous system.
When to use an Instant Resurfacing Mask
Try our double masking protocol any time your skin needs a pick-me-up, before an important event, after travel or as the perfect at-home weekend skin care ritual.
Enjoy this precious masking ritual, enriched by revered plant remedies, as a journey to radiant, rejuvenated skin and a serene, balanced spirit.
