Road Test 

If you read this blog regularly you’ll know I’ve been a fan of home facials for years, but travelling with the additional facial beauty products you need to give your skin a boost on the road can take up quite a bit of room in your toiletries bag. This is where disposable sheet masks are so convenient. You pack one (or more) to take on your travels, you use a mask in the privacy of your hotel room and then discard it. Over the years a growing number of beauty brands have introduced sheet masks for good reasons. Besides being portable and no mess, sheet masks do a variety of jobs quickly and easily, from hydrating and moisturising the skin, to clarifying or brightening it in a matter of minutes. Enbacci, one of Australia’s leading stem cell skin care companies, has recently added two sheet masks to its range of luxury products; Vitis Vinifera Rejuvenating Mask, and Age Revitalising Face Defence Mask. With these masks, the luxury cult brand uses a combination of electrolytes and fruit stem cell extracts, in particular Swiss apples and French grapes, to instantly boost the skin. Electrolytes are essential minerals such as sodium, calcium, and potassium; they are vital to key functions in the body, they are known for replenishing hydration, and they conduct electricity when mixed with water. You’ll likely have heard them mentioned in ads for sports drinks which promise to replace them lost through sweat. As it turns out, however, electrolytes can have a similar hydrating effect on the skin too, leading to a number of skincare brands to develop electrolyte-infused formulas for skin in need of an extra shot of moisture. Enbacci’s sheets masks are a bit different, however, as they are designed to not only plump up and hydrate the skin, but also reduce the signs of ageing, thanks to use of embryonic fruit stem cells and the electrolyte potassium. The Vitis Vinifera Rejuvenating Mask contains cells extracted from the callus of the grape – a gel-like covering that forms as the grape attempts to heal itself – along with a lineup of ingredients which can help to reverse UV-related damage, reduce redness and inflammation, even skin tone, and strengthen your skin. Meanwhile the Age Revitalising Face Defence Mask is rich in vitamins A, B and C, combining a rare Swiss variety of orchid apples, the Uttwiler Spätlauber, and Leucojum Aestivum Bulb Extract to brighten the skin, reduce puffiness, plump fine lines, and treat acne scars, blemishes and dark spots. And there’s a bonus with this mask; the Leucojum Aestivum Bulb Extract is believed to mimic the effects of Botox by plumping the skin from within, giving a more youthful appearance. Using the masks is easy. Simply cleanse your skin and pat dry, then unfold the mask, place onto your skin, and relax for 15 or 20 minutes. Once finished, remove the mask and massage any excess product into your skin. I road tested both masks starting with the Vitis Vinifera Rejuvenating Mask, which is wonderful to use as an ongoing part of your skin care regime, and particularly useful if you are travelling to extreme climates. As for the Age Revitalising Face Defence Mask, this delivers an instant and lasting boost of hydration if your skin is especially dry or really in need. Either way, you won’t go wrong with these next generations masks; the only difficulty will be choosing between them.

Insider Tips

• Massage any residue product into your neck and your décolletage as well as your face. Use gentle upward motions from your lower neck towards your chin, from your chin and the outer corners of the lips towards your earlobes and ears, and from the side of your nose to your temples to increase the blood flow and give your skin an extra glow.
