Love it: Osmosis Hydralift Firming Gel Mask

One of my absolute favourite skin saviours is a regular Osmosis Facial Infusion - which along with their killer at home regime has totally transformed my skin. And without the usual trauma associated with marked anti-ageing solutions. The Osmosis Facial Infusion has been called a “revolutionary facial treatment” by both professional therapists and the press, and it will most definitely have you rethinking the peel and its place in your skin’s life. 

Vitamin A is the best anti-aging ingredient currently known for the skin, and the US brand has become renowned for harnessing the properties of the most active, least irritating form: Retinaldehyde. The Osmosis Facial Infusion has 2.0 per cent Retinaldehyde present (the highest amount available anywhere in the world) and is the only non-acid peel that will infuse the dermis with fibroblast stimulators, immune boosters, antioxidants, pigment lighteners, and calming anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial ingredients. It rejuvenates the skin by increasing collagen production, fighting free radical damage, scavenging scar tissue and helping reduce hyperpigmentation, whilst your natural cellular turnover is also gradually increased - amazing. Skin thickens and becomes stronger and healthier - as opposed to thinning - with age, and the intense collagen and elastin stimulation that it delivers into your skin continues for a full 30 days... That means just one infusion per month results in some very impressive cumulative results! They are also tailored to your skin's particular concerns at any given time, so no treatment is ever the same.

Having said all of that, I haven’t had one for a while but as an Osmosis obsessive make sure that I both use their products morning and night and indulge in a little at home pampering from time to time using their home care treatments. I’ve long been a fan of their Repair Healing Mud, but a new addition to my arsenal that I have fallen head over heels for is the brand new Hydralift Firming Gel Mask.

A hydrating and firming mask that promotes soothing and tightening benefits for all skin types, it goes to work pretty much instantly and feels like pure heaven on the skin. Powerful ingredients in the formula add hydration to the skin and aid in plumping and firming where its needed, whilst soothing and calming Cucumber extract provides a cooling and healing effect that will calm even super irritated skins. Last up, Aloe Vera is in there to help speed up cell renewal - reportedly by up to eight times faster! - and quickly penetrates the epidermis for intense, immediate hydration. It is the perfect choice for dehydrated, ageing skin and also - IMHO - post-procedure due to its ultra soothing qualities. Love it.

Osmosis Hydralift Firming Gel Mask has an RRP of $82.35 for a 30ml and you can get it online or find your nearest stockist here.
