Makeup can be a fun and expressive way to show off your personality, but it’s easy to get bogged down by outdated rules. Let’s set the record straight and embrace the beauty of modern makeup techniques. Some of the old rules were more clear cut to help makeup noobs, some were a reflection of some of the product limitations we had at that time, our limited understanding of skincare etc- other rules were and are rooted in more western ideals of beauty, which I find very morbid.

Personally I hate dry, crusty clay masks that stress out my already sensitive skin. I’m so happy to report that even when this mask is completely dry, there’s no flaking all over your shirt. This is thanks to some of the juicy ingredients which include Commiphora, a potent bioactive that helps stimulate blood flow and give the skin a tone up- Squalane, Jojoba Oil and Macadamia Oils, which work to plump and nourish the skin.

I used to be a religious loofah user, replacing them every two to three months when they started to fall apart. While I thought I was doing my part to stay hygienic, I didn’t realise how wasteful it was and the hidden dangers loofahs carried. They never completely dry between showers, and I found out that they could harbour bacteria and grow mould – even if you can't see it.
